Cube Attention fireorange´n´black

The "Attention fireorange´n´black" model from Cube, released in 2024, is a versatile and robust mountain bike suitable for both ambitious beginners and experienced riders. Priced at 999 EUR, it offers excellent value for money.

The bike’s frame is made from Aluminium Lite, manufactured using Advanced Mechanical Forming (AMF) technology. The frame is double-butted, ensuring an optimal balance between weight and stability. Thanks to the internal cable routing and the tapered head tube, not only is the appearance enhanced, but durability and ease of maintenance are also improved. The flat-mount brake mount and the SIC (Size Specific) mounting solution for the kickstand round off the well-thought-out design. The maximum load capacity is 150 kg, whilst the bike itself weighs just 13 kg.

The necessary braking power is provided by Shimano BR-MT200/UR300 hydraulic disc brakes, fitted with a 180 mm rotor at the front and a 160 mm rotor at the rear. The drivetrain consists of an 11-speed Shimano Deore RD-M4120-SGS, which can be shifted precisely and quickly using the Shimano Deore SL-M5100 Rapidfire-Plus shift lever. The front derailleur is a Shimano SLX FD-M7025-L with a Topswing mechanism and a 31.8 mm clamp.

The RockShox Judy Silver TK AIR fork, with 100 mm of travel and PopLoc function, ensures comfortable damping and control on uneven terrain. The bottom bracket is a Shimano SM-BB52 with a 73 mm BSA thread, whilst the crankset consists of a Shimano Deore FC-M5100 with 36x26T and a length of 175 mm. The cassette is a Shimano CS-M5100 with an 11-42T range, and the drivetrain is completed by a KMC X11 chain.

The handlebars are CUBE Rise Trail Bars, 680 mm wide, complemented by ACID React grips for optimum grip. The stem is a CUBE Performance Stem SLX with a diameter of 31.8 mm, and the headset is a semi-integrated CUBE FPH868. The rims are CUBE ZX20 with 32 spokes and disc brake mounts, fitted with Schwalbe Smart Sam Active tyres in size 2.25.

The front hub is a Shimano HB-M4050 and the rear hub is a Shimano FH-M4050, both fitted with quick-release skewers and Centre Lock brake disc mounts. The saddle is a comfortable Natural Fit Venec Lite, mounted on a CUBE Performance seatpost with a diameter of 27.2 mm. The saddle is clamped using a CUBE Varioclose with a diameter of 31.8 mm.

In summary, the Cube Attention fireorange’n’black 2024 offers a balanced combination of high-quality components and well-thought-out design, ideal for a wide range of off-road uses.
