2017 CUBE ATTAIN RACE D GREY/FLA

The Attain Race Disc combines all the proven attributes of our popular Attain Race - comfort, performance and agility - with the added stopping power of disc brakes. The smooth, light and powerful brake system actually means you can go faster, by braking later into corners. It also adds a reassuring dose of all-weather reliability for race or training rides, allowing you to concentrate on your performance without worrying about wet roads. And, of course, the Attain Race Disc also has the lively handling and balanced geometry that you'd expect from Cube.

The Attain Race Disc shares its Superlite aluminium frame - built using our Smooth Welding manufacturing process - with its rim brake stablemate, but we've modified it to work brilliantly with discs. The rear end's clean looks are matched by its ability to absorb road shock and vibration without sacrificing transmission effiency. And the carbon fork - which, like the frame, will accept tyres up to 28mm - also features a specially designed mount for the front disc caliper. A tapered head tube, PressFit bottom bracket and a specially shaped, oversized down tube all help ensure every single pedal stroke counts. And the clean looks afforded by disc brakes have been enhanced by taking the trouble to route cables internally, reducing abrasion and increasing service life at the same time.

That Attain Race Disc features Shimano's versatile, all-round 2x10 Tiagra group, complete with 160mm discs front and rear for smooth, assured stopping in any weather conditions. An 11-34 tooth cassette and compact crank with 50 and 34 tooth chainrings gives a gear range that'll easily tackle both the steepest climbs and the fastest descents. Disc brakes demand special attention to wheels, which is why our engineers selected Fulcrum's Racing 77 wheelset and fitted them with super-grippy Continental Ultra Sport 2 tyres - superb acceleration and stopping, on any road surface.
