Description
Based around a comfortable aluminium alloy frame and carbon fork, the Cube Attain is an enjoyable bike to ride at speed or just cruising along, making it ideal for those just beginning their adventures in the world of road cycling. It sports a competitive weight and impressive finishing kit. Stiffness levels are good thanks to the chunky box section of the oversized down tube and the wider than normal bottom bracket shell.
There is no harshness or road buzz resonating through your hands like aluminium frames of yesteryear and the experience is very impressive. You can come back home without any feelings of discomfort or fatigue at any of your contact points. The geometry is more relaxed than you'd find on a performance road bike, sitting more towards the endurance sort of level. The front end turns in predictably and whether you are cruising around the back lanes or mingling with urban traffic, you feel totally in control. This also helps when riding on wet, slippery roads.
The Cube comes with a full Shimano Claris groupset including the chainset, which gives the bike a complete look. You get a solid click from the shifter as you change from one sprocket to another. The shape of the hoods is also a comfortable place to spend your time.
The wheelset is also from Cube, the RA 0.8 Aero. They're solid enough wheels, and I certainly didn't have any issues with durability throughout the test period.Tyres are Continental's Ultra Sport 2, a durable and dependable tyre that I have ridden for thousands of miles over the course of the years. They don't really excel anywhere but offer decent levels of grip to give you confidence in the corners, and the rolling resistance is minimal enough that you still get a spirited ride.
The rest of the kit is Cube-branded stuff and is exactly what you would expect for the money: durable and capable alloy components for the steering and for holding your saddle.
Condition
This bike is in good condition but may have a few cosmetic blemishes, all of which have been photoed and mostly unnoticeable. Mechanically, it functions perfectly with smooth gear shifts and responsive brakes. Bearings smooth all round.
