Cube Ella Cruise cream´n´orange

The "Ella Cruise cream’n’orange" model from Cube, released in 2021, is a stylish and functional bike that is ideal for everyday use in the city. Priced at 749 EUR, it offers good value for money.

The bike’s frame is made from Superlite Trekking Comfort IC 2.0 double-butted aluminium, which reduces the weight to 16 kg whilst ensuring stability and comfort. The fitted SR Suntour NEX fork, with 50 mm of travel, provides pleasant suspension and enhances riding comfort on uneven roads.

Braking performance is provided by reliable V-brakes, which offer good control and safety. The gears are controlled by the Shimano Nexus SL-C6000 gear lever, which, together with the Shimano Nexus SG-C6001 hub, enables precise and low-maintenance 8-speed gear changes.

The bike’s lighting is provided by the Trelock LS582 Retro front light and the Herrmans H-Trace rear light, ensuring good visibility and safety when cycling at dusk or at night. The ACID PP trekking pedals offer a secure grip and contribute to a comfortable riding experience.

The crankset consists of the Shimano Nexus FC-C6000 with a 38-tooth chainring, combined with a KMC HV500 drive for reliable power transmission. The handlebars are CUBE Comfort Shape Bars, which, together with the CUBE Retro grips and the CUBE Comfort City stem, ensure a comfortable and ergonomic riding position.

Other features include the VP Semi-Integrated headset, CUBE SX24 rims with 36 spokes and Schwalbe Little Big Ben tyres in size 40-622, which provide good grip and puncture protection. The front hub is a Shimano DH-C3000 dynamo hub and the rear hub is the aforementioned Shimano Nexus 8-speed hub.

The saddle is a CUBE Retro model, mounted on a CUBE Performance seatpost with a diameter of 27.2 mm. The saddle is secured using a CUBE Screwlock clamp with a diameter of 31.8 mm. SKS Chrom Shiny mudguards protect against splashes and dirt, whilst the CUBEstand Cmpt kickstand ensures the bike stands securely.

The integrated CUBE luggage rack (Integrated Carrier 2.0) is compatible with CUBE adapters and SnapIt systems, offering versatile transport options. All in all, the Cube Ella Cruise cream’n’orange is a well-equipped bike that impresses with its combination of functionality, comfort and style.
