Mountainbike Cube AMS ZERO99 C:68X SLX

When every fraction of a second counts, you'll want a bike you can rely on. With the AMS ZERO99 C:68X SLX 29, the premium carbon frame construction is just the start. Sram's Eagle 1x12 AXS wireless transmission delivers every shift to perfection, backed up by Magura's powerful MT8 SL hydraulic disc brakes to keep you in control. We fitted a pair of Newmen Advanced SL X.A. 30 carbon wheels for their low weight and rapid acceleration, then fitted grippy 2.25in tyres and ultra-light Schwalbe Aerothan inner tubes. And RockShox's super-light SID suspension with Twistloc remote keeps the rubber glued to the ground. Take our word for it: it's fast.

Fast is light, fast is comfortable, and fast is efficient. The AMS ZERO99 C:68X 29's frame is crafted from our premium carbon and weighs in at a stunning 1600g, approximately. But it's not just about low weight. Short chainstays with plenty of clearance for 2.25in tyres tuck the rear wheel in under the rider for efficient power transfer. Slender tubes help keep the ride comfortable, rather than harsh. There are angle adjustment inserts to allow fine-tuning of the head angle. And with 100mm of travel front and rear and a geometry that's tuned for agility and pace, you've got everything you need to get to the head of the pack.

• C:68X CARBON FIBER TECHNOLOGY - Combining all our expertise from carbon frame building into the ultimate material, C:68X® carbon uses the optimum blend of fibre and nano particle-infused resin. Precision Advanced Twin Mold manufacturing means we can avoid bonded sleeves or inserts, too. It's the new benchmark for light, stiff and strong.
• ADVANCED TWIN MOLD - With our Advanced Twin Mold process we use two precisely manufactured forms for our C:62®, C:68® and C:68X® carbon frames. The first form is to ensure an accurate layup. The second, inner form keeps every individual fibre precisely where it needs to be while the frame cures. The result is a significantly lighter, stronger frame, with fibre density tailored to anticipated loadings at specific points.
• BOOST148 - A wider hub makes a stiffer wheel, and a stiffer wheel means better handling. That's the thinking behind the Boost 148 rear hub standard, which allows wider flange spacing for better wheel performance without impacting on shifting accuracy or drivetrain efficiency. Simply put, you can go faster and harder with better handling and stronger wheels.
