KATHMANDU SLT

If there is one bike frame that proves that form and function can coexist, it is the Kathmandu. Extremely fine welds create joints between the high-performance aluminium tubes that are so seamless that one tube flows almost naturally into the next, whilst the internal cable routing completes the clean, minimalist aesthetic. But it’s not all about looks. Our robust integrated IC 3.0 luggage rack works perfectly with the ACID mudguard, which also features a rear light to complement the front light and the included mudguard. The UDH derailleur hanger is sturdy and future-proof, whilst the flat kickstand makes it easy to find a place to park. We’ve even added extra mounting points to the frame to make it easier to attach additional bags, accessories and water bottles. Because you never know what you might need…

That's the detail that makes the CUBE Kathmandu SLT so special. It's designed to be comfortable, which is why we started by installing a RockShox Paragon Gold air suspension fork. The rugged elegance of the integrated 3.0 luggage rack is matched by the simple practicality of the ACID mudguards, lightset and kickstand. Powerful Shimano Cues hydraulic disc brakes combine with Schwalbe Marathon Mondial tyres to bring you to a safe stop, whatever the weather. The icing on the cake is Shimano's Cues Di2 Q'Auto 1×11 gears, which change automatically as you pedal... so you're always in the right gear. Powered by a simple dynamo system in the rear hub, you don't have to do a thing... except ride. Freedom on two wheels...
