CUBE

CUBE was founded by Marcus Pürner in 1993 in the northeast of Bavaria, Germany. Born out of the trend of the time coming over from America for off-road riding, it was an early European adopter of mountain biking. CUBE actually started off as a small local bike shop and distributor in Waldershof, but it didn’t take long for the team to decide that they could do a better job of creating bikes themselves.

From these small beginnings, CUBE has grown into one of the largest bike brands in Europe, seeing almost consistent 10% year-on-year growth since it was founded. The brand is sold in over 60 countries and more than 500,000 units are sold each year. With a product catalogue that covers every facet of cycling from pro road all the way to commuter and touring bikes, it is a brand known for its complete range.

CUBE manufactures most of its bikes in-house, and tests all of its frames to its own standards, as well as testing any components intended to be on the final spec sheet.

CUBE has its feet firmly in racing with continuous sponsorship of pro team Intermarché-Circus-Wanty since 2014. In 2021 the team stepped up from the second-division ranks to the WorldTour, and have a breakout star in the form of the Eritrean Biniam Girmay.

CUBE began its sponsorship of the Intermarché-Circus-Wanty team in 2014, with the team enjoying increasing success since rising to the WorldTour in 2021. 

Biniam Girmay is the team's big star, producing stunning moments and milestones for African cycling when he won the 2022 Gent-Wevelgem and a stage at that year's Giro d'Italia. 

Zoe Backstedt won the junior cyclo-cross world title in 2022 on a CUBE 'cross bike, at a time when she was riding for the Tormans team.

CUBE is a German manufacturer of bikes and equipment, based in the Fichtel Mountains of northeastern Bavaria.

Rein Taaramäe’s Litening AERO C:68X: Intermarché-Circus-Wanty pro bike

Rein Taaramäe’s Litening AERO C:68X for stage 4 of the Vuelta a España with Shimano Dura-Ace, Prologo and Ceramic speed components.

For the seventh time in his long career, 

 in 2023. It’s been a happy hunting ground for the Estonian in the past, the scene of two of his three WorldTour victories - the other came at another Grand Tour, the Giro d’Italia.

Now 36, he started this year’s race as one of the more senior riders, although he didn’t join teammate Rui Costa in the list of the top-10 oldest starters, narrowly missing out in 12th. Rolling back the years, 

, and we were lucky enough to get our hands on the bike he used throughout the race ahead of 

We also caught a glimpse of Taaramäe’s bike ahead of the same stage - here’s how they compared.

Rui Costa’s Rui Costa’s Cube Litening AIR

Forget all-round performance, Taaramäe goes aero

The Vuelta a España has deservedly built up a reputation for serving up devilishly difficult routes, ones packed with relentless and vicious climbs. The 2023 route didn’t buck that trend, as can be seen in the absence of many sprinters.

Despite the climbing-heavy route, there were brief days of respite, and stage 4 was one of those, giving the riders a relatively easy roll down from Andorra to Tarragona on the Catalonia coastline. There were two climbs packed into the middle of the day but nothing that hampered the chances of the fast men as Kaden Groves (Alpecin-Deceuninck) powered to victory.

For days like this, riders traditionally used dedicated aero bikes. Things have changed in recent times and many teams now rely on all-round superbikes, designed for everything from climbing to flat days when aero takes precedence - like the 

 Dogma. Intermarché-Circus-Wanty also has its own version of the on-trend superbike, the 

. While it’s technically the brand’s lightweight bike, it packs in plenty of aero features and has become the team’s bike of choice for the majority of races, including for Costa on stage 4 - but not for Taaramäe.

The Estonian opted for Cube’s pure aero machine, the 

, instead. It’s a traditional aero bike in every sense, with deep tubes that were honed using CFD (computer fluid dynamics) and real-world wind tunnel testing - and with the usual claimed drag reductions to boot.

According to Cube, the latest design results in a “30% reduction in drag” compared to the previous model. While a glance doesn’t tell the full picture, it certainly looks fast.

Rotor Aldhu chainset and oversized pulley wheels

Taaramäe’s set-up for the day included a Rotor Aldhu 55/42 chainset, paired with Shimano’s Dura-Ace groupset. Shimano dominates the peloton at this point, while Rotor components are a less frequent sight. The 55/42 option Taaramäe opted for is in the ballpark of what most riders used, falling a little below the 56/44 specced on Costa’s bike.

We didn’t get official confirmation for the size of the cassette, but we suspect it’s an 11-34 (if our counting is to be believed). That proved to be a popular choice throughout the race as riders increasingly take advantage of the wider gearing options.

The rear derailleur set-up included an oversized 

 pulley wheel. These were the talk of the town five years ago when their presence became more widespread, with the idea being that a larger-diameter wheel reduces chain friction, saving watts. It’s something Intermarché-Circus-Wanty are clearly a fan of, using the tech on Costa’s bike too.

Understandably for the flat stage, Taaramäe paired his aero machine with the deep-section Newmen Advanced SL R.65 wheels. Costa also used the same wheels, pairing them with the Air’s lightweight frame. At 65mm deep - as the name suggests - these are on the deeper side, even for a flatter stage.

Continental provides the team’s tyres, with the Grand Prix 5000 TT seemingly the favoured option, used by both Taaramäe and Costa in a 28mm width.

Prologo components completed the build, including the Zero II saddle which sat atop the Cube aero seatpost. Up top the fluorescent Prologo bar tape is a commentator’s dream, making Intermarché’s riders easily distinguishable from the rest of the pack.

The bike was accessorised with Elite water bottles and a Bryton computer.

 won a rain-lashed edition of the World Championships in 2013, pulling on the rainbow jersey after edging out Spain’s Joaquim Rodríguez in a two-up sprint. The victory added to an already impressive palmarès, with three Tour de France stage wins preceding it and many more WorldTour wins following. By 2017 the WorldTour wins had dried up and overall victory at the Abu Dhabi Tour was followed by a six-year barren spell at cycling’s highest tier…until the 2023 Vuelta a España.

At the grand old age of 36, in cycling terms, Costa rolled back the years to outfox his younger breakaway companions on stage 15 and win his first Grand Tour stage in 10 years - his first ever at the Vuelta. The latest of the Portuguese rider’s WorldTour triumphs was delivered atop the

Life of a pro mechanic at the Vuelta a España

It’s a bike we got our hands on ahead of stage 4, a relatively flat day - by Vuelta standards - ending in Tarragona. The Litening AIR C:68X is an on-trend modern race bike, blending both aerodynamics and light weight. Cube also has a separate Litening Aero, but Intermarché-Circus-Wanty appears to be now following the one-bike route adopted by other teams, sticking to the Air whatever the terrain.

Specialized releases Tarmac SL8 - one bike for any terrain

For the stage, Costa opted for a monster 56/44t Rotor Aldhu chainset with the INspider power meter. That’s a seriously big gear to push, even on flat terrain, enough to make our legs burn just thinking about it. For context, it’s the same size that powerhouse Filippo Ganna (Ineos Grenadiers) used on the same day - and he’s a two-time time trial World Champion and set the individual pursuit world record in 2022, becoming only the second rider to dip under four minutes. Most bikes that we encountered maxed out at a 54t largest chainring.

Taking advantage of the wider cassette options currently available, Costa paired it with an 11-34t cassette, but that still leaves a 34-44 easiest gear.

Filippo Ganna’s Pinarello Dogma F pro bike

All-in for aerodynamics with 65mm wheelset

Costa paired the monster gearing with a very aerodynamic set-up, including Newmen Advanced SL R.65 wheels, with rim depths that match the name. It’s one of the deepest wheels we saw used at the race, barring time trials, but isn’t a surprising choice considering the stage served up one of the easiest parcours of the three weeks.

’s Grand Prix 5000 TT tyres - by far the most popular choice amongst Continental-sponsored teams, as was the 28mm width used by Costa.

At this point, every bike in the pro peloton features a sleek cockpit with integrated cabling, and the Litening AIR was no different, creating a sleek front end to cut through the air. Every little detail matters for aerodynamics and the Bryton computer mount integrated neatly under the handlebars where it would only add minimal drag.

Renewi Tour stage 3: Mike Teunissen wins in Geraardsbergen

In the shadow of the famous chapel on the 

 (Intermarché-Circus-Wanty) took the win on the crucial day of the Renewi Tour.

The Dutchman attacked a select group of riders right before the final kilometre up the town streets of Geraardsburgen to take the win ahead of 

e (Cofidis) after a frantic day of racing around the Flandrian hills.

While Teunissen won the stage, it was Tim Wellens who was the man of the match. On the last time up the critical Muur van Geraardsbergen, Wellens drove the pace and splintered the peloton in the process. While he was able to push on solo to get maximum time bonuses in the green kilometre, he suffered a front flat tire.

Instead of changing it for a new wheel, however, Wellens soldiered on with the lead group and had enough energy to come in second and take the overall lead at the finish.

Stage 3 of the Renewi Tour was a redux of the Classics-style stage that has defined so many editions of the race in recent years, with the Muur taking centre stage, once again. In a day that would be crucial to decide the overall at the race, the peloton set about the 170km in furious fashion, averaging close to 50kph for the first 120km.

Nevertheless, the race was overshadowed by the news of the death of a young Belgian Tijl De Decker, who was set to join Lotto-Dstny. He died following a collision with a motorist on Wednesday.

Even with the breakneck speed, a rather large break formed at the front and held an advantage of 25 seconds with still 45km of winding, hilly Flemish roads around Geraardsbergen left to race. On the short climb up the Denderoordberg, with 38km to go, UAE upped the pace and bridged over to the breakaway. Behind, leader Josh Tarling (Ineos Grenadiers) struggled to match the pace of the quality in the peloton.

Over the top, the race was splintering with the likes of Kasper Asgreen (Soudal Quick-Step) off the back and a small group including Yves Lampert (Soudal Quick-Step) and Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) moving forward. Tarling was ensconced in the peloton just behind the leaders. 

A few kilometres later and the race was back onto the Muur for the last full climb, the race continued to splinter with Wellens pushing on at the front over the steepest section of cobbles. Lotto Dstny had multiple riders towards the front of the peloton, but it was Wellens who kept the drive as many of his rivals for the overall were languishing behind. Tarling’s time in the lead, by this point, seemed to be fleeting.

With the all-important green kilometre coming up, Wellens forged on even with a flat front tyre. Fred Wright (Bahrain-Victorious) countered right before the Bosberg and grabbed some of the additional bonus seconds.

With 20km left, there were two groups left to fight for victory, with a small leading group of quality riders and a charging peloton behind. The lead group contained Wright, Teunissen, Marc Hirschi (UAE Team Emirates), Lampaert, Arnaud De Lie and Florian Vermeersch (Lotto-Dstny), Axel Zingle and Wellens, still with a flat tyre. The group had about 20 seconds in hand over the peloton into the last 10km, with Lidl-Trek and Alpecin-Deceuninck chasing behind.

With 5km to go the race took on the last climb of the day, the Denderoordberg, and Hirschi hit the front to push the pace in the breakaway, as the peloton snapped at their heels. That surge proved to be enough to keep the leaders out front for the final. On the climb, Lampaert, Teunissen, De Lie and Vermeersch got gapped over the top, as Wellens gamely stayed with the leaders, making it two UAE riders at the front of affairs.

The two groups would weld together again, with De Lie the only rider to not make it back for good. With the finish halfway up the climb in Geraardsbergen, there was still room for attacks to come, even if it looked like the leaders would stay away. In the end, Teunissen made the move a couple of hundred metres before the last kilometre that anticipated the efforts of others and he would not be brought back.

After a couple of down years, the win for the Dutchman, on his birthday no less, was a triumphant return to form for the former Tour de France stage winner and yellow jersey wearer. Wellens is now firmly in the GC lead with 23 seconds in hand over Yves Lampaert in second.

 is still fresh in the memory but it’s already time to look ahead to 2024, which will hopefully deliver another year of unforgettable racing.

, the bike brand transfer merry-go-round isn’t quite as intense, so there’s always a degree of stability and familiarity. Most teams sign multi-year deals with their selected brands, so the opportunity to swap to a different one only comes around every few seasons - unless a team is willing to break a partnership off early, but that can lead to some public spats, as Lotto Dstny found out in 2023.

AG2R Citroën will be one of the rare teams to switch bike brands for 2024 after Decathlon jumped on-board as co-title sponsors, bringing Van Rysel bikes with it. The team previously rode Decathlon bikes between 2000 and 2007.

That move has brought to an end the team's three-year partnership with BMC who will be absent from WorldTour level for the first time in over a decade. The team's switch to Shimano also means that Campagnolo is without a WorldTour team for 2024.
