The Cube Aim SLX (2026) blends trail credibility and daily usability into a capable hardtail ride. Its Aluminium Lite frame features clean internal cable routing, a tapered head tube, and flat-mount disc brake compatibility—creating a tidy, durable platform built for real-world riding and technical trails alike. You’ll find the SLX version steps up in drivetrain and handling: a Shimano Deore 1×12 drivetrain (CS-M6100 / RD-M6100), with a broad 10–51T cassette giving you the range to tame long climbs and keep control on steep descents.
The SR Suntour XCM 100 mm suspension fork with remote lock-out smooths chatter and sharp terrain transitions, and the Shimano BR-MT200/UR300 hydraulic disc brakes offer dependable stopping performance in all conditions. Rolling on ACID EX25 tubeless-ready rims with Cube’s 2.25″ MTB tyres, the SLX delivers grip on trails while allowing speed on smoother paths.
Geometry is tuned to balance agility and stability: a lower top tube eases mounting and confidence, while generous tyre clearance lets you run wider tyres when desired. With mounting points for mudguards, kickstand, and optional rack, the Aim SLX is equally at home as a trail machine or everyday do-it-all rig.
Step-Up to the Cube Attention Pro
If you’re ready to go further, the Cube Attention Pro offers an elegant next level in the Aim/Attention family. While the SLX gives you strong trail performance, the Attention Pro enhances detail: smoother welds and frame finishes, a more refined parts list, a lower-slung top tube for added confidence, and the option for slightly wider tyres (2.25″) with robust handling geometry. This makes it a compelling choice for riders who want to keep the same trail-centric feel but with added finesse and future upgrade potential.
