Cube Kathmandu SLX Hybrid Bike

Are you looking for a versatile and robust bike for your daily commute and adventurous cycling holidays? The Cube Kathmandu SLX is exactly what you’re looking for! We call this hybrid bike a real mile-eater. The lightweight double-butted aluminium frame invites you to sit in a comfortable position that allows you to ride for hours on end with ease. Whether you’re cycling through the city every day or heading out into the countryside for day trips at the weekend, this bike is fully up to the task.

The spec on this bike is absolutely top-of-the-range. The Shimano XT groupset shifts smoothly and precisely. With the impressively large 10-51T cassette, you will tackle the steepest climbs effortlessly, even with fully loaded panniers. The drivetrain is rounded off with robust ACID components, from the pedals to the mudguards and the neatly integrated luggage rack.

Integrated luggage rack
The Integrated Carrier 3.0 rear luggage rack is neatly integrated into the frame. This not only looks incredibly sleek but also makes the rack extra rigid and stable, which you can absolutely use when setting off with heavy panniers or lots of luggage. The rack's maximum load capacity is 25 kilos.

Suspension fork with lock-out
The RockShox Paragon Gold Air fork is a godsend for your wrists and shoulders. It has an air valve that allows you to easily adjust it to suit your own body weight. Plus, the remote lockout on the handlebars allows you to lock the suspension in place to save energy.

Tubeless-ready wheels and tyres
Both the ACID EX25 rims and the Schwalbe tyres are suitable for tubeless riding. Riding without inner tubes reduces rolling resistance, increases comfort and drastically reduces the risk of punctures.

Included
• ACID PP Trekking pedals
• ACID Pro-D 100 front light and ACID Mudguard rear light
• Mudguards, kickstand and bike bell

Not included
• ART-approved bike lock / frame lock (required for bike insurance)
• One or more water bottles and bottle cages
• Single or double bike panniers
• Fork pump (for adjusting the suspension fork)

• Fork adjustment: Use a fork pump to adjust the suspension perfectly to your weight for best ride comfort.
• Chain maintenance: A Shimano XT 12-speed chain runs most smoothly if you keep it clean and lubricate it regularly with a quality chain wax or lube, especially after a rain shower.
• Tyre pressure: Keep the Schwalbe Marathon tyres at the correct pressure to ensure a smooth ride, reduce tyre wear and prevent punctures.
