Cube Axial WS GTC Pro Women's Road Bike Light Blue/Red (2020)

Description

The Cube WS GTC Pro road bike brings Cube’s award winning-design and innovation to a women’s specific race model which is jam-packed with high performance spec. The lightweight and compliant carbon frame has oversized tubes to improve stiffness and offer precise steering for a great feel on the road. The carbon fork and slim seat stays help absorb vibrations and improve comfort, something you will notice on those longer rides. This bike is designed with a geometry to put you in a comfortable yet efficient position so that you can really ride well without being too uncomfortable. Comfort is further enhanced by the women’s specific saddle which puts you in the best position.

The WS GTC Pro is ready to perform with a 2x11 speed Shimano 105 Groupset giving you crisp shifting and Shimano’s trademark reliability. Get the extra edge and ride with confidence as you will have complete control of your speed with the Shimano 105 Hydraulic Disc Brakes. You’ll have no trouble building and keeping momentum on the light Cube Aero Disc wheelset and grippy yet quick Continental Grand Sport Race SL Tyres. 

The Axial WS GTC Pro is a smooth racing bike with women’s specific design and spec to allow you to ride at your best. You can’t go wrong with the carbon frame/Shimano 105 groupset combination, add in hydraulic disc brakes and this bike delivers on every front.

Features

Gran Turismo Composite: In designing the GTC carbon fiber frames, safety and comfort are the main factors. We use high modulus fibers for the parts which are stressed the most – the head tube, the seat tube top and the bottom bracket area, offering flex and comfort. Our special production process with inner and outer molding forms ensure that the minimum of required material is used, reducing overall weight even with complex frame design

Advanced Twin Mold: This technique uses a complete core to provide the perfect frame form during the lay-up process. As with the Twin Mold technology, precise inserts are used to ensure extra strength at high-stress frame points, offering maximum control over fibre orientations during the lay-up and production process. This results in outstanding product safety and quality together with optimum weight and stiffness characteristics.

Integrated Cable Routing: Internally routed cables offer many advantages. Cables are protected from dirt for longer life, weight is saved thanks to the absence of external housing and the bike has a clean, eek appearance.

Tapered Steerer: This steerer tube design is stiffer than a conventional straight steerer and yields a more secure ride feel even in difficult terrain. Minimal flex at the front of the frame means the greatest possible steering precision. With the larger steerer, the forks become more rigid and the weight is saved due to the absence of bearing shells as the lower bearing is fully integrated into the head tube.

Wet Paint Surface: On polished, brushed aluminium and all HPC frames, the logos and graphics are applied in multi-layer wet paint to save weight.

Press Fit BB: With Press Fit bearings, the bottom bracket bearings are pressed directly into the frame and not screwed in as usual. This gives a wider bottom bracket shell and allows us to build a wider down tube and more broadly-spaced chainstays. Every millimetre of additional width gives a significant improvement in lateral stiffness.
