Light, lighter, lightest. When saving every gramme is the goal, every single detail matters. We knew that choosing our premium C:62 carbon was a good start, but the Cross Race C:62 needed something special to set it apart. The answer came from an unusual direction: our engineering team decided to route cables internally via the head tube, rather than the usual down tube routing. This approach fulfilled two goals. First, it created an incredibly clean look and eliminated any cable rub. And second, it meant we didn't need to reinforce the down tube to the same extent as usual, saving even more weight. Internal cable routing uses custom inserts which can be swapped out easily, so you can run electronic, wireless or traditional cable-actuated gears. Combined with the full carbon fork and race-bred geometry designed for quick, precise handling, the Cross Race C:62 is proof that the devil really is in the detail.Cyclocross can be brutal. At CUBE we understand this only too well “ it's the reason we developed the Cross Race C:62 SL. Featuring a full carbon chassis “ complete with cyclocross-specific carbon fork “ and a component setup geared for hard use on the race circuit, it's got the low weight, exceptional efficiency and brilliant handling you'll need to stay out front on race day. Internal cable routing via the head tube eliminates cable rub and, combined with the curved seat stay / top tube junction, makes shouldering easier, quicker and more comfortable. Race-bred geometry provides sharp, nimble handling and our premium C:62 builds into a light, exceptionally stiff and responsive frame that you'd expect of a thoroughbred racer. To keep things simple, we chose Shimano's new 1x11 transmission and fitted a custom chain guide, so you don't have to worry about an unshipped chain ruining your day during the rough and tumble of racing. The 11-40T cassette provides a huge gear range, transferring power to the light, stiff Newmen Evolution wheelset and grippy Schwalbe X-One tyres, and Shimano hydraulic discs ensure you can control your speed through the worst that the elements and race course can throw at you. With Newmen Advanced carbon cockpit components shaving even more weight, it's a package that's shouting out to be ridden hard. Now all you need to do is pedal, run and pedal your way to the podium...
