CUBE Link Systems Explained
CUBE's range of integrated Link Systems has been designed to make fitting accessories quicker, cleaner and more secure than ever before. Rather than relying on straps, brackets or cable ties, these clever mounting solutions allow compatible ACID accessories to click neatly into place, creating a tidier bike and making it easier to swap accessories between rides.
Whether you're commuting, touring or heading off-road, CUBE's integrated mounting systems let you add lights, bags, baskets, tools and bottle cages without cluttering your bike.

FILink keeps your luggage stable while riding and makes it easy to take your bag or basket with you when you reach your destination.

HIC – Headtube Integrated Carrier
Found on selected CUBE utility bikes, including the Trike Hybrid, Longtail Hybrid and Editor Hybrid, the HIC system allows front baskets or carriers to mount directly to the head tube rather than the handlebars.
This keeps steering light and predictable, even when carrying heavier loads, while allowing the carrier to rotate during an impact to help protect the frame.
Perfect for:
- Cargo carrying
- Front baskets
- Utility cycling
- Family transport
X-Connect – Integrated E-Bike Lighting
X-Connect is CUBE's integrated lighting interface for Bosch-powered e-bikes.
Compatible ACID front lights plug directly into a connector located in the headset, with the wiring hidden inside the frame for a factory-fitted appearance. There's no need for external cables or separate batteries, and the lights are powered directly from the bike's main battery. X-Connect is available on many current CUBE e-bikes and can also be retrofitted to many Bosch Smart System models with compatible headsets.
Perfect for:
- Bosch Smart System e-bikes
- Integrated front lights
- Year-round commuting
