The Cube Elite 240 SL is supposed to be the efficient racing file for children. The carbon frame of the children's bike and the classy equipment with feather-light tubeless wheels even make some parents jealous. Thanks to the low weight and high frame rigidity, children's energy is directly converted into speed. On gravel and tarmac, this always motivates sprints and small races. On flat terrain, kids can really pick up the pace, because the 24-inch hardtail from Cube offers the best propulsion in the test field on narrow tyres. This is fun on tour and also keeps adults happy.
Test summary of the Cube Elite 240 SL by Lukas (6 years):
"What I like about the Cube kids' bike is that it's so super fast. I always have to grin when I accelerate. The brakes are mega. But I get really shaken up on the trail."
