The Cube Attain GTC SL Disc is a carbon frame road bike that is a functional piece of engineering beauty. The Attain GTC SL Disc is an endurance racing or training machine and offers proven technology and experience with innovative design. The key to this frame is that Cube have tried to build in comfort wherever possible, retaining stiffness where necessary for efficient pedalling and safe handling. The carbon frame combines class-leading comfort, performance and low weight for endurance riding.

The rear end's slim aero Flex Stays are designed to reduce the impact of road shocks on the rider - a massive plus on longer rides, increasing comfort and reducing the symptoms of fatigue and tension. The large volume down tube, combined with the PressFit bottom bracket and tapered head tube, ensures that the rider's efforts are efficiently converted into forward propulsion, and steering is super responsive and precise.

Shimano’s impressive Ultegra drivetrain will help you uphill, downhill and everywhere in between. While the Continental Grand Sport Race SL tyres will give you excellent race standard performance, allowing you to ride fast and efficiently. High quality racing tyres need to be paired with a high-quality wheelset and the Attain GTC SL Disc delivers, with a Fulcrum Racing 66 wheelset.

The Attain GTC SL Disc is a great bike for someone that is after a carbon frame bike to ride hard and fast in training or on race day. With this bike you can really enjoy riding, as comfort is not sacrificed even though the bike is focused on performance. The Cube Attain GTC SL Disc is an endurance animal that offers performance spec that sets the standard in road bikes. With a Shimano Ultegra drivetrain, hydraulic disc brakes, Fulcrum wheelset and Cube's innovative design processes, this bike ticks every box. 

Features

Adaptable X12 Hanger: Our new dropout design based on the Syntace X12 through-axle system, enlarging the area of the frame where the hanger is mounted. We can now fit the longer Direct Mount hangers. Shifting precision and stiffness is therefore improved. With the new design it's also possible to swap the whole contact area of the axle with the hanger should the system be worn out.

X12 Through Axle: A cone is used to form a play-free connection. It is only necessary to tighten the axle from one side. The position of the wheel is done by an insert in the right-hand dropout which is secured by a bolt. The main advantages of the Syntace system are quick and simple changing of the wheel, reliable position of the brake disc and higher stiffness of the rear of the bike. This allows the assembly to be made lighter than a conventional through-axle.

Twin Mold Technology: The Twin Mold technique uses re-usable cores during the lay-up process to ensure precision frame moulding. Special inserts guarantee optimum ply orientation during the production process to add extra strength at frame points subject to higher loads. This improves the safety of the product and delivers outstanding stiffness characteristics.

Press Fit BB: The bottom bracket bearings are pressed directly into the frame and not screwed in as usual. This gives a wider bottom bracket shell and allows us to build a wider down tube and more broadly-spaced chainstays. Every millimetre of additional width gives a significant improvement in lateral stiffness.

Tapered Steerer: This steerer tube design is stiffer than a conventional straight steerer and yields a more secure ride feel even in difficult terrain. Minimal flex at the front of the frame means the greatest possible steering precision. With the larger steerer, the forks become more rigid. At the same time weight is saved due to the absence of bearing shells as the lower bearing is fully integrated into the head tube.

Integrated Cable Routing: Cables are protected from dirt for longer life and weight is saved as there is no external housing and the bike has a clean, sleek appearance.

Every millimetre of additional width gives a significant improvement in lateral stiffness.

Gran Turismo Composite: We use high modulus fibers for the parts which are stressed the most – the head tube, the seat tube top and the bottom bracket area. That is why the frame still offers flex and comfort resulting from the flexible tubes. Our special production process with inner and outer molding forms ensure that the minimum of required material is used, reducing overall weight even with complex frame designs.

At 99 Bikes we go to great lengths to make sure your new bike arrives as assembled as possible and in great condition. Due to the box sizes and shipping restrictions we are unable to ship bikes with the handlebars, front wheel and pedals pre-installed, and gears and brakes tuned as we have to repack the bike.

We recommend for your own safety that you get a qualified bicycle mechanic to re-install these parts before riding this bicycle. Not using a qualified bicycle mechanic is done at your own risk. Incorrectly installing these parts could cause the bike to malfunction and result in serious injury which 99 Bikes PTY LTD will not be held responsible for. Any damage as a result of improper assembly carried out by anyone who is not a qualified bicycle mechanic, will not be covered under warranty.
