The "Aerium C:68 SL HIGH carbon’n’white" model from Cube, released in 2022, is a state-of-the-art triathlon and time trial bike designed specifically for ambitious athletes. Priced at 6199 EUR, it is positioned in the premium segment and offers a wide range of high-end components and technologies.

The frame of the Aerium C:68 SL is constructed using Aerium C:68 Monocoque Advanced Twin Mold Technology and features a twin head tube as well as fully internal cable routing. This construction not only ensures outstanding aerodynamics but also provides increased stiffness and low weight, which together lead to improved performance.

For the brakes, Cube has opted for Magura RT Aero Carbon hydraulic rim brakes, which provide reliable stopping power and precise control. Shifting is provided by the SRAM Force eTap AXS™ 12-speed system, which operates wirelessly, enabling fast and precise gear changes. The shift levers are SRAM Red eTap Blips & Clics, ensuring intuitive operation.

The front derailleur is also a SRAM Force eTap AXS™, which, in combination with the SRAM Force D1 DUB carbon crankset (48x35T) and the SRAM Force XG-1270 cassette (10-26T), ensures an efficient drivetrain. The Aerium C:68 aero fork is fully integrated and contributes to the bike’s optimised aerodynamics.

The bike’s cockpit consists of the CUBE Aerium C:68 Cockpit System, which is 420 mm wide and has a 40 mm rise, complemented by CUBE Grip Control handlebar tape for optimum grip. The Profile Design T5+ Carbon handlebar extension supports the rider’s aerodynamic position.

The tyres are Schwalbe Pro One Tubeless Easy in size 25-622, fitted to the Fulcrum Racing 44 Aero C17 wheelset. This combination offers excellent rolling performance and puncture resistance. The saddle is a Selle Italia Watt SF Magnesium, mounted on the CUBE Aerium C:68 Aero seatpost, whilst the seat clamp is also from CUBE Aerium Integrated.

Overall, the Cube Aerium C:68 SL HIGH carbon’n’white is a first-class triathlon and time trial bike that impresses with its high-quality components and well-thought-out design. It is aimed at athletes who place the highest demands on their equipment and are prepared to invest in top performance.
