“Would I ride that bike” is a great gauge from somebody like you, an honest expert
Meanwhile, Cannondale's QC dept keeps sending their failed frames to Hambini to troll him 🤣
He enjoys that ;-)
Nice to hear about good work. Thanks Raoul
Thanks for letting us know about the good and bad frames. 👍
Nice, giving positive criticism where it's due.
Wow….glad to hear some manufacturers have still got the formula for success! I love the scale, “I would ride” & “I wouldn’t ride”. Knowing your expertise, hearing someone question “why do you think it was good?” had me laughing! Peace!
In the spring I hired a Cube while visiting Mallorca. From an external visual examination it seemed pretty good. It also rode and handled nicely. I'll probably hire the same again next year and Cube would be high up on my list if I were to buy a new bike. Cube seem to concentrate on getting the basics right and not trying to introduce headline grabbing features.
Going to Mallorca in December, who did you hire from? :)
@@biosfear01I hired from Huerzeler, I found then good and professional. Here is a video about my hire experience. ua-cam.com/video/WHEMSOuQIoQ/v-deo.html

@@FiveMinuteVelo excellent thank you! I had already found them earlier but it's good to hear you had a good experience with them. I will probably hire a bmc, I have a 2013 Cervelo R3 with 105 so it would be great to test something much more newer 🙂
Holy shit positive remarks about a modern bike!
It's not all bad, the trick is knowing what is!
@@LuescherTeknik I know, and I don’t mean to imply anyone is being unnecessarily negative, just that it’s out of the ordinary that we see something good for a change!
Agree, especially lately. I would much rather talk about the good stuff.
The only content on YT I hit the thumb up.
„Would I ride that bike? Yeah, I would ride that bike!“
´nuff said.
I've had my cube attain GTC since 2016 and I've ridden it to work virtually every day since. no issues
obviously its been through its fair share of bearings and chains etc... but thats all just normal wear and tear. 🙂
That's what a bike should be. :)
I have a Reaction Sl carbon mtb built as a beach racer with a carbon fork. It''s the fastest bike I own (and I have 5). The insides look very well made, every thing fits nicely without creaking appearing. It has a nice compliance to the back end, and it only weighs 8.9kg in 23" with a relative heavy custom build. I would recommend Cube to anyone.
Great video Raoul ! more mooooreeee 😊😊😊
I had a cube attain aswel was very comfortable but on mine the disc mounts weren't faced correctly however the rest of the bike was sweet for the money I couldn't complain.
I think this is common and the issue happens in the painting process.
It annoys me that bike shops and mechanics have to have specific and expensive frame building facing tools to correct a fundamental part of the frame that should be correct FROM the factory.
@RollinRat Yeah, the whole road disc brake move was largely to reduce liability. The manufacturers of carbon wheels eventually realized that what makes a wheel light and stiff, makes for a shit braking surface, and what makes for a good braking surface, doesn’t make a wheel very light or stiff. With the added benefit of increased tire clearance, and more freedom to play with cross sectional profile for the sake of aero.
All that is assuming hydraulic brakes don’t also offer better modulation than rim brakes, but if you think it’s all about power I won’t bother arguing with you.
@RollinRat exactly that’s the hole point on those disc brake. Including that with disc brakes, road bikes tend to have broken fork or broken carbon wheel easier than with rim brakes. Without speaking about how the thin wheels get easily locked with the discs, for me is a no no on road bikes.
Nice one Raoul, tells it as it is, good and bad but nice to get good feed back.
Have you ever cut up any components from brands such as THM Clavicula, Schmolke, or Darimo? I would be really interested in hearing your analysis on the build quality of their products.
Looks like the owner hit the jackpot. Twice: with a good frame and by not breaking it.
Too bad it looks like a miracle but not as standard nowadays...
Do you think that the laminate on newer bike frames (including those Chinese ones like Yoeleos, Velobuilds, etc) are so uniformed and consistent because of the new EPS foam-injection moulding techniques instead of the old school tubular bagging techniques? I have seen UA-cam videos of Yoeleos and Velobuilds that are so clean and turns out they were all moulded using foam injection
I love my Attain GTC SL, have one Pro
Raoul,between you and Hambini we get the truth! No bull just an honest opinion....another good source for a bike review is Cam Nichols he does the best comparisons and tests!
Hamboney is a hack. Raoul is a professional. There's no comparison.
Nice one 👍
3:18 For BB seats, I use a bore gauge, then check it against a micrometer, just for extra nerd points. :P
nice!
What is the difference between this model and the cube attain sl?
Have you done a Sirrus Pro before?
My titanium frame has excellent compaction too. The way the tubes join you can tell it's a well made frame that will give me a lifetime of reliable service. The paint is beautiful and professionally done. Not a bad weight at today's standards so it could be used to race, but why would I do something stupid like that. There's no money in bike racing for the normal Joe. Carbon is just not needed for most people and because of the failures IMO it's less than ideal.
Do you really think people go bike racing for the money?
And I'd argue that most titanium frames ARE a bad weight by today's standards. This "budget" frame is 1100g. Most titanium frames I've weighed are 1600g+.
@@n0ch91c3s Cinelli XCR stainless in size small is 1450g.
Titanium isn’t needed either.

@@n0ch91c3s My bike weighs 18lbs 9 oz. with pedals and bottle cages. I'd race it. 😁
@@n0ch91c3s Crash a CF frame hard once and see if it's still a bargain. Even if it doesn't break, it has hidden cracks waiting to send you to hospital, or you send it to Raoul for lots of $$$ loving care. Or bin it and start again, like the manufacturers want you to.
Had a fork steer failure on a Cube Agree, the customer service was the worst thing I have ever experienced. On top of that after only two years of ownership and still within the warranty period, they could no longer supply a fork replacement even under crash replacement because they don't make them anymore. Buy cheep buy twice I guess, you live and learn.
Sorry to hear about the failure, I can only speak about this bike.
You can buy an expensive Cannondale and rumours are, you will never have to deal with customer service, because it basically doesn't exist.
Hi thank you for your efforts and information. How could I get my bike checked in the UK?
I really worry about it failing when riding.
Have you ever cut up a bike made with Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) ??
Have you done any tests on the BMC teammachine slr01?
@Luescher Teknik... Can we extrapolate your opinion on this bike to other models of this German brand?
What about LITENING AERO C:68X
Hambini can help you with the scale chart. Are there any common words aussies use to describe things? Im drawing a blank but i think it starts with a C
Haha his chart changes everytime he gets sued ;)
@@LuescherTeknik 😄
Always admired Cube but not popular in the States. Ty
You said it has good compaction(CUBE), pitty That can't be said for Trek's OCLV OPTIMUM COMPACTION LOW VOID ! LOL ahahaha
I really despise the new trend of staggering the junction between the top tube and the seat stay.
"New trend"? My 20 year old Giant TCR has dropped seatstays :)
@@blooptastic I like nice lines on my bikes staggering them looks absolutely stupid in my opinion. It might be an old trend but it has become more trendy again. My favourite Specialised has started doing it on their latest Sirrus carbon bikes. I will not buy another one just like Samsung did with the ridiculous curved screens stopped using them too.
we need to find out which factory makes it.
Yes that's the important bit as Cube is the branding but which factory? I mean Cube use a lot of different factories as some of their frames come out of Bangladesh which is notorious for being a bit poor. Also raw frames are often manufactured in one country and finished in another. It would be nice to know which country it came out of too although I guess it might have made in Germany on it, not sure as many Asian manufactured products are rebranded to 'Made in Germany' under the last significant process rule.
Clearly its a very decent factory though but will it be the same factory for this years models? I'm sure there must be a way of identifying the frame though to know if they have moved factories.
I'd be very surprised if Cube were making their CF road bikes in Bangladesh like some of their other bikes. I've seen one of their mountain bikes and the saddle post was getting badly scraped by burring inside the seat tube. Surely this has to be manufactured by one of the more advanced CF manufacturers in Taiwan or mainland China. The bike price was quite competitive so maybe mainland China. If a Bangladesh factory has made this when they are relatively new to bike manufacturing then WOW!

Cube is unfairly one of the most underrated and unloved brands that in fact seems to put their effort in producing no nonsense high quality products instead of overcharging customers to then spend in marketing, like so many "cool" brands do. I guess that reflects in less "coolness" and brand exposure that makes people not look at them as a first option, and I think they also suffer for the fact that some of their paintjobs were not very consensual. I have a 2016 Litening with many miles in it and no complaints whatsoever. It seems well built and well engineered: for example both sides of the pressfit bottom bracket are joined with a carbon internal structural connection instead of being 2 holes on the shell, prone to not being concentric. As a result, I never had any issues with creaking or accelerated bearing wear. I would definitely buy another one of their bikes.
You might not know cube as many of us do, im a bike mechatroniker in germany and the placr i work we sell cube, despite havin a few nice models in road mtb and gravel the many of them are or have a very dubious quality.
For example one of the best road bikes from Cube, the c68X has a integrated handlebar stem combo which is softer thank my fully extended look Ergostem the fork shaft its also very soft compared to the one in my Colnago c64, same with bb’s in road and mtb version i have to service them at least 2-4 times a week and what yo say about the E-Bike, i had to say they are way better than the Bulls out there but cube headset and their internal routing spacers are the biggest crap ever.
They mught look nice but from the mechanical point of view… they are just MEH
You can use hambinis scale lol
He changes his too often ;)
Hi, you talk 5 min about the frame, why do show nothing about your research? Pictures say more than a 1000 words and are credible.
Cube, just about the least cool brand you can buy ......
Not any moore Lucy Charles-Barclay is on Cube, Triathlon Queen.
