• Cube Sting WLS 140 Race Full Suspension BikeWhen the mountains are calling, you need a bike that’ll be with you for every switchback, every climb and every technical descent. That’s what Cube had in mind when they developed the Sting WLS 140 Race Full Suspension Bike – an all-mountain MTB for every woman. Combining Cube’s renowned easy handling with 140mm of travel, it’s their all-mountain queen Comfortable and Responsive Aluminium FrameCube’s designers know a thing or two about designing great all mountain frames. So of course, the Sting WLS 140 Race Full Suspension Bike features Agile Ride Geometry and Efficient Trail Control suspension design, each tailored to specific frame sizes to ensure that you’re always in control and having fun. Cube also used a triple butted tubeset, complex hydroforming, a tapered headtube, PressFit bottom bracket and X12 dropouts to create the stiffest, lightest, best handling and most comfortable frame that they possibly could. It’s also sleek and good-looking thanks to details like internal cable routing Reliable ComponentsWhen you’re taking on the mountains you need a fork to match. That’s why Cube started with Fox’s superb 34 Rhythm, which combines easy adjustability with a level of comfort and control that you have to experience to believe. Powerful Magura MT4 hydraulic disc brakes combined with light, stiff and strong Answer Atac wheels and comfy, grippy Schwalbe Nobby Nic tyres all work together to deliver tenacious grip and predictable stopping, whatever the trail conditions. A Shimano XT 2×11 transmission ensures smooth, accurate shifting, and the Cube cockpit components, SDG saddle and Cube dropper post mean you’ll be comfortable, no matter how long your ride Features:Frame:ŒæHPA Ultralight, Advanced Hydroform, Triple Butted, ETC 4-Link, ISCG MountFork:ŒæFox 34 Rhythm, 2-Position Sweep-Adjust GRIP Damper, Tapered, Boost 15QR, 150mmShock: Fox Float DPS, 200x57mm, Open/Medium/Firm Mode, LV Air CanisterShock Hardware: Top: 30x8mm, Bottom: 22x8mm Headset:ŒæFSA 1.5E ZS, Tapered, Top Zero-Stack 1 1/8″ (OD 44mm), Bottom Zero-Stack 1 1/2″ (OD 56mm)Stem:ŒæJD Enduro ST97A 0ŒÁ Handlebar:ŒæCube Rise Trail Bar Pro, 740mm Grips:ŒæCube Natural Fit Race Front Derailleur:ŒæShimano SLX FD-M7025-D, Direct Mount, Down Swing Rear Derailleur:ŒæShimano XT RD-M8000-DSGS, ShadowPlus, 11-Speed, Direct Mount Shifters:ŒæShimano SLX SL-M7000 Brake System:ŒæMagura MT4, Hydr.

Cube can now fit the longer Direct Mount hangers. Shifting precision and stiffness is therefore improved. With the new design it’s also possible to swap the whole contact area of the axle with the hanger should the system be worn out. Aluminium Ultralite:Very high tensile strength heat-treated 7005 aluminium alloy is developed for the highest requirements. It is very stiff, fatigue resistant, corrosion resistant and has high elongation. Our Superlite tubes are triple butted, giving very light tubesets with a high level of stiffness High Performance Aluminium: For Cube’s high-end bikes they have use High Performance 7005 Aluminium alloy which has a very low density combined with high strength due to the alloy elements and the hardening heat treatment. By triple butting or even quadruple butting to give different wall thicknesses in one tube, aluminium tubes are reinforced where required and made lighter where possible. In this way, Cube succeed in getting material where it is needed most. In addition, they use special tube shapes, manufactured with hydroforming technology to better cope with directional forces. The low density and high strength as well as the butting and the hydroforming technology enable them to make high-performance frames with an ultimate level of stiffness. Agile Ride Geometry: Cube ran innumerable tests to develop the Agile Ride Geometry in its series of big wheel bikes. It also added the 27 5″ wheel size to the very well received portfolio. Three important details lead to the very agile character. Increased fork offsets let Cube achieve the same trail as its 26″ bikes without having to steepen the head angle, thus maintaining generous toe clearance to the front wheel. Secondly it shortened the chainstays without compromising the seat angle. Cube invented a patented construction to mount the front derailleur to give it more tyre clearance while keeping a conventional seat angle, leading to a perfect riding position for every rider size. Last but not least, it kept the BB height the same as on its 26″ bikes. These measures lead to a natural riding position. Every mountain biker will feel immediately at home on a Cube 29er or 27 5″ bike 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, sleek appearance 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 Cube to build a wider downtube and more broadly spaced chainstays. Every millimetre of additional width gives a significant improvement in lateral stiffness Stealth Ready: Dropper seatposts are getting more and more widespread, but to integrate them optimally in the frame, they have to be factory fitted. With the Stealth Ready frames, it is possible to build in a dropper seat post with internally routed cables, which besides the clean look, helps prevent any cables getting jammed. The exit of the cable on the frame, if not required, will be sealed with a cover for protection. Woman Like Series: New WLS models come with different wheel sizes for different frame heights. The 14 and 16″ frames have 27 5″ wheels, the 17,19 and 21″ frames are built as 29ers. Depending on body height, every woman gets the perfect riding character and geometry. The models of Cube’s Woman Like Series feature a compact frame geometry with shorter top tubes and longer headtubes, giving a riding position that is more upright than on the mens models. This riding position relieves the pelvis and offers more comfort. The top tubes of the WLS mountain bikes are lowered, making the bike more comfortable and safe to mount and dismount. Efficient Trail Control: Cube’s Efficient Trail Control series works so that everyone can have more fun on the trail. With 27 5″ and 29er wheel options, their frames cover the widest range of riding on every terrain you can imagine. The low leverage ratio and linear rate curve makes the bike very sensitive, avoids bobbing and offers full usable travel all the time. Steep seat tube angles and slack headtube angles make these dream machines ready for action on the descent where you can use the full amount of travel to be on the safe side. Trail Motion Rocker: The Trail Motion Rocker features optimised leverage ratios for every bike and intended use, giving fast reacting yet stable suspension in every situation. The computer-designed one piece rocker construction gives maximum stiffness for the best suspension performance while still being extremely lightweight Easy AssemblyWhen you order a bike, one of our trained mechanics will carefully prepare and pack your bike for shipping.
