The cups require no special tools to fit – just loosen drop the fork enough to rotate the inserts. In the steep setting the head angle is 66.5º, and this relaxes to 66º in the slack position. On the other hand, Cube must be applauded for adding an angle adjust headset, or more specifically head tube inserts that can be flipped to offer two positions. To compound the problem, seat tube lengths are relatively long at 520mm and 470mm respectively, so it’s not easy to size up and retain a decent length dropper post. That’s around 40-50mm shorter than we’d typically expect with modern sizing. The CUBE AMS ONE11 C:68X TM 29s advanced carbon construction, race-inspired geometry, hard-hitting Fox suspension components and carefully selected. In terms of geometry and sizing, Cube has stuck to a conservative stance for the new bike, with the largest XL frame only getting a 465mm reach, while the size large runs a 445mm reach. Additionally, Cube also adds a heavy post-mount for the caliper, when a flat mount would save some additional grams.Ĭlean cable routing enters the frame in front of the head tube, meaning it works equally well whichever side you run your rear brake

This is a trick that many brands employ on their short travel (sub 120mm) full-suspension bikes to save weight. What’s slightly curious is that Cube hasn’t got rid of the Horst link altogether and engineered sufficient flex into the carbon stays of the top models to allow for the variation in tube angles between top out and bottom out.

This is in marked contrast to the Stereo models with their rocker links and vertically mounted shocks. It still uses a four-bar rear suspension design with chainstay mounted Horst link and a swing link at the seat tube that drives the shock via the seatstays. Both have been completely overhauled for 2022 with updates to geometry and frame layout, with the new bike benefiting from a far sleeker chassis compared to its predecessor. So is the case with the Cube AMS One11, a modified AMS Zero99 as used by Cube’s XC racers. While some brands are going all-out with bespoke ‘down-country’ full-suspension models (blending trail/enduro geometry with XC travel and weight) most are taking their existing cross-country race bikes and adding longer travel forks and fatter tyres to bridge the gap between race and trail.
