KATHMANDU SLT DUSKWOOD/GOBLIN

KATHMANDU

It’s the detail that makes the Kathmandu SLT from CUBE so special. It’s designed to be comfortable, which is why we began by fitting a smooth RockShox Paragon Gold air suspension fork. The sturdy elegance of the Integrated Carrier 3.0 is matched by the straightforward practicality of the ACID mudguards, lighting set and kickstand. Powerful Shimano Cues hydraulic disc brakes work with the smooth-rolling and grippy Schwalbe Marathon Mondial tyres to bring you safely to a halt, whatever the weather. And the icing on the cake is Shimano’s Cues Di2 Q’Auto 1×11 gears, which shift automatically as you pedal… so you’re always in the right gear. Powered by a simple rear hub dynamo system, there’s no need for you to do anything… but ride. Freedom on two wheels…

Frame description
Attention to detail is a CUBE obsession. That’s why, with the Kathmandu’s Integrated Carrier 3.0, we designed it to work seamlessly with our ACID mudguard. We’ve fitted a flat mount for the rear disc brake – it also accommodates the kickstand – and used Smooth Welding to give the frame joints a tidy, organic appearance. But it’s not all about looks. We also equipped the rear end with a thru-axle and added a tapered head tube for improved rigidity and steering precision, even when fully laden. With Internal Cable Routing to complement the frame’s clean looks, we reckon we’ve thought of everything. Just don’t forget your toothbrush.
