CUBE Aim SLX Mountain Bike – Slateblack ’n’ Chrome
The CUBE Aim SLX in Slateblack ’n’ Chrome is a versatile hardtail mountain bike that combines trail-ready performance with the practicality needed for everyday riding. With a lightweight aluminium frame, 100mm suspension fork, Shimano 12-speed gearing and powerful hydraulic disc brakes, it's a great choice for everything from weekend trail adventures and bridleway exploring to commuting and recreational riding.
Built to Explore
At the heart of the Aim SLX is CUBE's lightweight Aluminium Lite frame, manufactured from heat-treated 6061 aluminium and featuring smooth-welded tube profiles for a clean, premium appearance.
Internal cable routing protects the cables from dirt and damage while keeping the bike looking uncluttered. CUBE has even included internal routing for a future dropper post upgrade, giving you the option to make the Aim SLX even more capable as your riding progresses.
A tapered head tube contributes to precise, confidence-inspiring steering, while the replaceable derailleur hanger makes repairs simpler should the bike take a knock out on the trails.
100mm Suntour Suspension
A SR Suntour XCT 30 suspension fork provides 100mm of travel to absorb bumps, roots and rough surfaces, helping improve both comfort and control when you leave smooth roads behind.
The remote lockout lets you quickly firm up the suspension when required, making the bike more efficient when you're riding on smoother tracks and roads.
Shimano 1x12 Gearing
The Aim SLX benefits from a modern Shimano 1x12-speed drivetrain, giving you a huge range of gears without the complication of a front derailleur.
A Shimano Deore 10-51T cassette provides plenty of low gearing for steep climbs, while the premium Shimano XT ShadowPlus rear derailleur delivers crisp, dependable shifting and improved chain control when the terrain gets rough.
Combined with the 32-tooth ACID crankset, it's a straightforward drivetrain that's equally suited to riders discovering mountain biking for the first time and more experienced cyclists looking for dependable performance.
Hydraulic Disc Braking
Shimano hydraulic disc brakes provide strong and predictable stopping power in changing conditions. Whether you're descending a loose trail, navigating wet winter roads or simply dealing with an unexpected obstacle, the hydraulic system gives you reassuring control.
Wide 2.25-inch Impac Smartpac tyres provide the grip and stability needed for mixed-surface riding, while the ACID EX25 rims are tubeless ready, giving you the option to upgrade your tyre setup in the future.
27.5" or 29" Wheels for the Right Fit
CUBE's Size Split system ensures riders get a bike that's properly proportioned for their height.
Smaller XS and S frames use agile 27.5-inch wheels, while M, L and XL sizes feature faster-rolling 29-inch wheels. This means smaller riders don't have to compromise on handling or fit simply to accommodate oversized wheels.
More Than Just a Mountain Bike
The Aim SLX can easily be adapted for everyday riding. CUBE has included mounting points for its optional Semi-Integrated Carrier, along with a dedicated flat-mount kickstand fitting.
Add compatible luggage-carrying equipment and other accessories and the Aim SLX can comfortably switch between trail bike, commuter and practical everyday transport.
