Cube Aim SLX graphite n metal
Hardtail Mountainbike

Full power is fine, but you need to be able to control that power. It's nice that the Aim SLX is equipped with a sleek RockShox suspension fork with lockout, which effortlessly swallows away bumps and knocks from the ground. It also features powerful hydraulic disc brakes, a tapered head tube and super grippy 2.25" tires. The result is a controlled riding experience wherever you go. And with the wide 2x9 gearing, trails can't get too long or too steep. Always the right gear at hand. Last but not least, the frame can be retrofitted with a retractable seatpost. Stop making excuses and let's get started!

Frame and equipment

The Aim frame impresses with a very clean look. This is a connection made by a smooth welding process between the head tube and seatpost profile. We've also opted for a bolt-on bottom bracket and routed the cables inside so they work longer and are easier to repair. There is also a flat mount disc brake mount that integrates seamlessly with the side stand mount. It also includes mounting points for ACID mudguards and luggage racks. The revised geometry lowers the top tube for safer handling and leaves plenty of room for wide, grippy and comfortable-rolling 2.25-inch tires. The SizeSplit system has also been further expanded. So you are guaranteed to find the perfect combination of Aim Wheel and frame size.

The advantages of 27.5 inch tires

27.5 inch wheels are the logical addition to the large 29 inch wheels and the optimum compromise for all smaller riders and trail fanatics. The combination of smoothness and manoeuvrability meets every wish of a biker. More agile than the 29 inch wheels and therefore the optimal choice for off-road driving and hairpin bends that leave you with little reaction time. This category offers the best choice especially for those changing from 26 inch wheels. 27.5 inch combines the best of two worlds and creates bikes that are not restricted in their use. Whether Fully or Hardtail - 27.5 inch is the golden mean and the perfect tyre size for all who want to use their mountain bike according to its purpose.

The advantages of 29 inch tires

29 inch is THE trend of the last few years, which was able to assert itself completely. Initially viewed critically by mountain bike purists and equipped with some teething troubles, the bike industry has recognized the trend and made it the new standard through continuous improvements. The advantage of the 29" tyres is the enormous running smoothness, which brings great advantages and saves power on long tours as well as uphill and downhill. Obstacles are easier to overcome due to the larger circumference of the wheels, and a greater distance is covered by turning the bottom bracket. By improvements and adjustments in the frame construction and the component selection, initial problems with the agility in the Trail and the optics of smaller frames were optimally balanced. Whether fully or hardtail, a 29 will take you far away.
