Cube AMS 150 Super HPC SLT. This cryptic designation can be reduced to one word: Top model. It is the most expensive bike in the range. More is not possible with Cube, more is hardly possible in the sector of all-mountain-plus-fullys with 150 mm travel. For 5999 euros - an unusually high sum for Cube bikes - the customer gets the maximum in equipment and the minimum in weight. Even the carbon chassis, complete with shock, weighs just 2.3 kilos, making it probably the lightest in its class. At eleven kilos, the HPC SLT even gives thoroughbred marathon bikes a run for their money. The bike lacks nothing, there is even a dropper post in the seat tube, and the tyre width has not been spared either. Half a kilo could be shaved off if you wanted to trim the bike for racing - but the question arises as to why you would want to do that.
Thanks to the lightweight wheels, the bike picks up speed quickly. If you are riding against the clock or against your competitors, lower the fork on the uphill section and switch on the platform on the shock. Even if the weight
sounds like a marathon - the bike can't hide its long suspension travel. Downhill, the motto is: open the floodgates, full speed ahead. The suspension sits firmly on the ground, the steering conveys precision and safety. Perfect.
Conclusion: Top equipment, great handling, wide range of use and low weight. This results in the judgement "super". One of the best bikes on the market.
