Cube Travel SL 2020 Trekking

Cube Travel SL Iridium / Silver 2020 iridium, silver

What would your ideal all-round touring bike look like? We reckon it'd look a lot like the Travel SL. Tasked with designing the ultimate low-maintenance, go-anywhere tourer, our engineers came up trumps with this belt-driven, hub-geared beauty. Shimano's smooth-shifting, wide-ranging Alfine 11-speed gears give you the range you need to tackle any hill with ease, while Gates' ultra-durable and practically silent CDX belt drive makes oily chains and rattling gears a thing of the past. Double-butted frame tubes give a supple ride quality, low weight and exceptional strength, backed up by the reassurance of comprehensive testing in our own 24/7 safety lab. The light, accurate rigid fork is fully compatible with lowrider racks, while the semi-integrated rear rack is a masterpiece of minimalist, functional design. Wide tyre clearances and a full complement of touring accessories are the icing on the cake. The Travel SL is ready to go anywhere. So... where would you like to go today?

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...
