Cube's "Elite" has a very attractive, high-quality design and excellent workmanship. The frame has all the important details (chainsuck plate, impact protection, chainstay protector) and takes second place in the STW ranking. The equipment is of a high quality and well-chosen to match the price, including lightweight Crank Bros. pedals. Narrow tyres and the short fork correspond to the area of use. On the racetrack, details bothered us: the thick seatpost lacks comfort, which the soft saddle tries to compensate for. The handling suffers from the narrow cockpit, you feel cramped and miss total control - swap handlebars or remove bar ends.
CONCLUSIONS: The "Elite HPC" is the beau of this class. A piece of jewellery that has proven itself on international routes.
