Is this the ultimate low-maintenance, go-anywhere lightweight tourer? We think it could be. The Travel SL's belt-driven Shimano Alfine 11-speed hub gears offer an incredible range and hassle-free ownership. Add the power of Shimano's unmatched XT hydraulic disc brakes, and it's an unbeatable combination for discovering new adventures. We fitted a Natural Fit saddle and NaturalFIt grips for comfort and durability. And there's a full complement of included accessories, from semi-integrated carrier to mudguards, lighting system and kickstand. It's ready. Are you?

Frame and equipment

Simplicity can be a virtue, but the detail also matters. It's the reason we used double buttet aluminium tubes for the Travel's frame - so it's both light and strong. There's enough clearance to run tough, comfortable 700C tyres up to 42 mm wide. Lowrider rack compatability means the rigid aluminium fork is light, accurate and versatile. And our semi-integrated luggage carrier and built-in kickstand mount are the neat, elegant finishing touches.

For whom is the Cube Travel SL suitable?

For the bike-tourist and the kilometre-eater. These high-end trekking bikes are designed in such a way that you can hardly notice any wear even after many kilometres. The complete package for all those who don't know when to get spare parts next time. Optimized by the high-quality components in weight and agility, these bikes underline their reputation as endurance runners, without looking old-fashioned or cumbersome. Long distances under the most adverse conditions are their field of application, which of course does not exclude the relaxed lap at the weekend.
