Cube Aim EX
5 / 5
Beautiful bike that does what it needs to do
The bike is light and shifts smoothly. Braking does it like the best. You really get value for money and the bike is well equipped. Good quality.

Beautiful and technically well-equipped MTB, very satisfied to date....
Bought this MTB as a replacement for my Giant Talon 3, The Cube feels stiffer compared to the Giant. The first few metres have paid off just fine. The equipment with full Shimano Deore line is fine, shifting is smooth and the brakes are easy to dose.

Top bike for little money!
It exceeds expectations. I glide over the road and goes quite fast for a mountain bike. I use it daily and every day I am glad I chose this bike. I ride indoors on dirt roads and paved ones which makes the front fork lock on the handlebars very handy.

Fine "Beginner mountain/cross country bike"
The Cube Aim Ex is an excellent "Beginner/Cross Country MTB." After 30 years, I really wanted another MTB/XCB that suited me not only in specs, but also in looks. This Aim Ex looks tough, solid and sporty. Although the color combo Desert/Black (model 2022) appealed more to me, I opted for the Caramel/Black. The bike was neatly delivered to my home. On second thought it would have been more convenient if I had given my inseam measurement and height. Possibly Mantel would then have been able to fit the bike better. There is a rattle on the large front wheel which can easily be solved when I have my bike checked in 2 months (now in use for about 1 month) to adjust everything again. The lock-out does not work very well, after a week or two the fork springs a bit. I will have to have this checked as well. The shifters are mounted too close to my grips for my taste. It doesn't feel natural and I adjust how I place my hands. This weekend I will have to adjust it myself. Since I ride mostly on road and dirt trails and grab a bit of forest here and there. Are the tires too soft for my taste. I personally like cycling on hard tires, even though I know I have less grip on sandy surfaces. But the 29" tires make such a difference. As I mentioned before, after 30 years it is nice cycling again for me. The shifters work smoothly, but it is still searching for which gear I can find my cadence on. On one I average about 24 km/h and 2km faster becomes unpleasant, on the other it is 28 km/h, but with too much headwind it becomes unpleasant. Conclusion: The Cube Aim Ex is a very capable and fast bike.
