Bringing road style efficiency to a flat bar, the SL Road has a Superlite double-butted aluminium frame to reduce weight without compromising stiffness or durability.

The decision to use front and rear thru-axles is a masterstroke from Cube, providing riders with safe and precise handling.

The SL Road rolls with extra-wide Schwalbe Little Big Ben Tyres for added comfort. Cube knew the SL Road would be a favourite among commuters, so they've included multiple mounting points for front and rear racks, as well as for mudguards.

Cube have ensured that it excels on any compact surface thanks to its shock-absorbing carbon fork and wide tyre compatibility, while it offers a smooth and efficient feel so you'll love every ride you take it on!
Carbon Fork
The fork features a tapered steerer, you'll have precise and confident steering. With carbon's special properties you'll gain great lateral stiffness for control and vertical tolerances which enable a more absorbent more comfortable ride. Best of both worlds!
Hydraulic Disc Brakes
Disc Brakes provide you with better braking performance in all conditions, unlike rim brakes which can be heavily impacted by dust and water, disc brakes maintain control in all conditions. These brakes give you confidence that you'll stop when you need to and with a hydraulic system you will have greater control and have better feedback through your levers, hydraulic systems aren't prone to cable stretch and self adjust as your brake pads wear down - meaning you can focus on the riding!
Internal Cable Routing
With internal cable routing you have the benefit of a modern clean look and the added benefit of preventing rust and fraying of your shift and brake cable, being internal also means your cables are protected while in storage or being transported on the car!
