Overview
Frameset Cube Aerium C:68X TT
Rules are rules, but that doesn't mean you need to settle for a slow ride. With the UCI's regulations in one hand, we set out to make the Aerium C:68X TT the fastest UCI-compliant frame around. Using a combination of Computer Fluid Dynamics calculations and comprehensive wind tunnel testing, the result is sublime. Advanced Twin Mold construction with our very best C:68X® carbon creates a structure that's stiff, light and cuts through the air like a hot knife through butter. It comes equipped with the CUBE Basebar TT with 0mm rise, helping you to achieve your optimal riding position. Go. Faster.
Every athlete is different, each course varies, and everyone has good and bad days. The one constant is the race against the clock. With its fastidious attention to detail, the Aerium C:68X TT takes the UCI rulebook and squeezes the marginal gains from it that you'll need to perfect your performance. Sure, it looks elegant. Fast, even. But the proof is in the riding, and that's where you'll find out watt – pun intended – we're talking about.
We could tell you about the advanced fluid dynamics that went into the design of the Aerium TT C:68X's carbon frame. And the fact that it's made from our finest C:68X® carbon. But all you need to know is this: it's the fastest TT bike we've ever made. And that's really all that matters.
Technologies
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.
Air sucks, and that's why Aero Optimized Geometry matters. Developed with a combination of wind tunnel testing, Computer Fluid Dynamics and feedback from athletes, it's our way of ensuring you can get the best possible performance out of you and your bike. Stable when you need it, agile when it counts and above all very, very fast.
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.
The CUBE Aerium Cockpit System is about as configurable as it gets. The standard setup is Low, but there's an optional High setup too. With a wide range of adjustment for each, every rider can find their optimum position for comfort, endurance and performance. Armpads can be set over a huge range of widths and stack heights and saddle stack and reach is, of course, also adjustable. Because every watt counts...
The Aerium's Twin Head Tube is visually striking, but it's not just about looks. Aerodynamically speaking, it helps reduce air resistance in a straight line for higher speeds. Which, of course, is what it's all about. And, with stronger cross winds, the twin tube profile helps reduce buffeting and increases steering stability. Win, win.
If you want to race, there are rules. We know that, which is why all our road race bikes that could be used for racing are fully compliant with UCI regulations on bicycle design and construction. We've created a full range of high performance machines that follow the rules, so you can just concentrate on your performance…
