Cube AMS ZERO99 C:68X Race 29 blackline

That podium result just moved a little closer. With its C:68X® carbon frame and carefully curated components, the Cube AMS ZERO99 C:68X Race 29 sets the standard for cross-country speed. There’s a Fox 34 Float Performance SC fork up front, with 110mm of precise-steering travel. It’s matched to a Fox Float SL Performance shock at the rear.

Cube selected Shimano’s ultra-reliable XT 1×12 gears because, well, they’re ultra reliable. And added matching Shimano XT hydraulic disc brakes for good measure. And Newmen Beskar 30 wheels shod with Schwalbe Racing Ray/Ralph 2.35in tyres serve up stacks of grip and rapid accelertaion. Topped off with a Fox Transfer dropper post, it’s all you need to find that winning edge out on the race course.

FRAME Cube AMS ZERO99 C:68X Race 29

Fast is light, fast is efficient, but above all fast means zero compromise. The AMS ZERO99 C:68X 29’s frame is crafted from the premium carbon and weighs in at a stunning 1,600g, approximately. There’s plenty of room for 2.4in tyres – and that means more grip and more control, even in the toughest conditions. Based on feedback from the XC and European Champion riders, chainstay length is tuned for optimum climbing whilst retaining excellent manoevrability. Slender tubes help keep the ride comfortable, rather than harsh. There are angle adjustment inserts to allow fine-tuning of the head angle. And with 110mm of travel front and a geometry that’s tuned for agility and pace, you’ve got everything you need to get to the head of the pack.

Technologies

FSP4-Link
Suspension kinematics is vital to your bike’s performance. At CUBE they use the FSP 4-Link for all their full suspension bikes, with a chainstay pivot and four bar suspension design. It’s a proven method for creating active rear wheel travel independent of pedalling or braking forces. CUBE has carefully refine pivot placement for each bike depending on its intended use, so you can be sure of outstanding suspension performance on the trail.

Advanced Twin Mold
CUBE’s Advanced Twin Mold process for the C:62®, C:68® and C:68X® carbon frames uses two precisely manufactured forms. The first form is to ensure an accurate layup. The second, inner form keeps every individual fibre precisely where it needs to be while the frame cures. The result is a significantly lighter, stronger frame, with fibre density tailored to anticipated loadings at specific points.

C:68X® Carbon Fiber Technology
Combining all the expertise from carbon frame building into the ultimate material, C:68X® carbon uses the optimum blend of fibre and nano particle-infused resin. Precision Advanced Twin Mold manufacturing means CUBE can avoid bonded sleeves or inserts, too. It’s the new benchmark for light, stiff and strong.

Adjustable Headset Angle
When you’re harnessing gravity, the trail is challenging and every second counts, the geometry of your CUBE is a critical component. That’s why the adjustable headset allows you to tweak head angle, so you can set your bike up just the way you like it. A little slacker for more stability, or a little steeper for better agility. The choice is yours…

Universal Derailleur Hanger
One standard for all: gear hanger replacement made easy thanks to the innovative Universal Derailleur Hanger. With a design that includes some room for pivoting to help prevent chain jams, it improves shifting performance and works with all drivetrains. Best of all, it’s a standard part that is available anywhere.
