Cube introduces 'aero endurance' Agree and entry-level Attain in aluminium and carbon for 2016

Cube has revamped its road line-up for 2016, with the popular Peloton replaced by a new frame dubbed the Attain, available in both aluminium and carbon fibre, and the mid-range Agree overhauled as an aero bike with endurance geometry. Both the Attain and Agree will come in rim brake and disc brake versions

Aero endurance Agree is a completely new frame from what’s previously been known as the Agree. Cube describes the Agree as an ‘aero endurance’ bike and it brings together two trends which have emerged in recent years: aerodynamics and endurance geometry. That’s a relatively a rare combination as most bike brand’s pitch their aero machine squarely at the race market, but the Agree takes on a slightly more relaxed geometry than the top-of-the-range Litening, which is Cube’s super-light, all-out race bike.

The all new Attain replaces the Peloton, which developed a well-earned reputation as a bike which combined an alloy frame with a top spec in a package which offered excellent value for money. There are two Attain frames: one made from aluminium (the Attain HPA) and one made from carbon fibre (the Attain GTC). The aluminum frame is made from a 6061 alloy and is designed, Cube say, to offer “exceptional ride comfort”, thanks to the flex served up by the skinny, cross-ovalised aero seat stays and the carbon fibre fork (which has a tapered steerer tube). The smooth welds also made for a really smart-looking alloy frame.
