Cube Travel EXC 2020 Trekking

Cube Travel EXC Iridium / Blue 2020 £1199.00

Don't be deceived by its deliberately understated looks - the Travel EXC is no ordinary sports tourer. A lightweight machine built around Shimano's low-maintenance 8-speed Alfine hub gear and Gates' durable belt drive, it consigns rattling gears, oily chains and the chore of regular maintenance to the past. The classically elegant frame design features double-butted aluminium tubing for the best combination of low weight, high strength and great ride quality. We've built in enough clearance for tyres up to 47x622, giving access to a wide range of options suitable for the toughest of touring routes. Wherever you're headed and whatever load you're carrying, the low maintenance drive belt and smooth simplicity of the hub gears mean you can concentrate on the adventure, and stop worrying about the bike. With powerful hydraulic disc brakes, a lightweight and strong rigid fork with lowrider rack compatibility and a full complement of touring gear - including kickstand, lights and mudguards - it's the ideal lightweight, round-the-world companion.

Remarks

Simplicity can be a virtue, but we never forget that detail matters. That's why the aluminium Superlite frame of the Travel is double butted, saving weight where possible but adding extra material where it's needed for strength. Combined with our rigorous in-house testing procedures, it's your guarantee of long-lasting durability and superb ride quality. We built in enough clearance to run 28in tyres up to 47mm wide, giving loads of choice for added comfort and puncture resistance. Full lowrider rack compatibility means that the rigid aluminium fork is both accurate and extremely versatile, and we routed cables inside the down tube to match the frame's Smooth Welding-enhanced clean looks and reduce maintenance requirements. With double bottle cage mounts and a rear dropout that neatly accommodates a kickstand, the only thing left is to decide where your curiosity is going to take you...
