Product Information

Full details

The Cube Attention SLX is designed for trail enthusiasts seeking a capable and modern aluminium hardtail. It offers confident off-road performance thanks to its Rock Shox suspension fork, SRAM 1x12 drivetrain, and reliable Shimano hydraulic disc brakes. While versatile and easy to live with, potential buyers should note that its focus on trail riding might mean it's not the most specialized for pure XC racing or extreme downhill.

FAQs

What is the primary intended use for the Cube Attention SLX?

The Cube Attention SLX is designed for versatile trail riding, suitable for off-road adventures, forest paths, and general exploration.

Can I use this bike for commuting?

Yes, with the integrated mounts for mudguards and a carrier, the Attention SLX can be adapted for commuting or light touring.

What size rider is the 'Size Split' system best for?

The Size Split system aims to provide an optimized fit across a range of rider heights by pairing specific frame sizes with appropriate wheel sizes.

How do I adjust the suspension fork travel?

The Rock Shox Judy Silver TK AIR fork offers 100mm of travel. Air pressure adjustments inside the fork will affect its stiffness and sag, indirectly influencing how the travel is used. Specific travel reduction is not a feature of this model.

Are the rims tubeless compatible?

Yes, the CUBE EX25 rims are specified as tubeless ready. You will need to purchase tubeless rim tape, valves, sealant, and compatible tyres to convert.

What is the warranty on the Cube Attention SLX?

Warranty information is typically provided by the retailer or CUBE directly and may vary by region. Please consult your purchase documentation or CUBE's official website for specific details.

Can I fit wider tires than the stock 2.25"?

While the tyres are 2.25", the frame and fork clearance generally allow for slightly wider tyres. However, check for sufficient mud clearance before installing wider options.

Troubleshooting

Brakes feel spongy or weak

The hydraulic brake system may need bleeding. Check for leaks around hoses and callipers. Consult a bike mechanic if unsure.

Gears are not shifting smoothly

Check derailleur hanger alignment. Ensure the cable is clean and properly routed. The rear derailleur may need adjustment. Refer to SRAM's documentation for adjustment procedures.

Suspension fork is not holding air

Check the air valve for leaks. Ensure the valve cap is secured. If the issue persists, the fork may require service from a qualified technician.

Rear wheel feels loose

Ensure the quick-release lever on the rear hub is properly tightened. If it's a thru-axle system, ensure it is screwed in securely.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Agile handling for confident off-road riding.
  • Wide gear range suitable for varied ascents and descents.
  • Reliable stopping power with hydraulic disc brakes.
  • Comfortable and adjustable suspension fork.
  • Versatile with mounts for accessories like mudguards and racks.

Cons

  • 100mm fork travel may be limiting for very aggressive terrain.
  • Aluminium frame, while light, may not offer the same compliance as carbon for some riders.
  • SX Eagle drivetrain is functional but may not offer the same refinement as higher-tier groupsets.
  • Tubeless-ready rims require separate tubeless setup for optimal performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Initial Setup:

Upon receiving the bike, professional assembly is recommended if not purchased from a dealer already built. This ensures all components are correctly installed and torqued. Basic setup involves adjusting saddle height and handlebar position for rider comfort. The suspension fork may require initial pressure adjustment based on rider weight.

Compatibility:

  • Dropper Post: The frame is dropper-ready, allowing for easy installation of a compatible dropper seatpost. Ensure the seatpost diameter matches the frame's specifications.
  • Tyres: The frame and fork offer clearance for wider tyres. The current rims are tubeless-ready, requiring tubeless-compatible tyres, sealant, and valves for a tubeless setup.
  • Accessories: Integrated mounts are available for mudguards and rear carriers.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Regularly clean the bike with mild soap and water. Avoid high-pressure washing, especially around bearings and suspension components.
  • Lubrication: Keep the chain lubricated with a suitable bike chain lubricant. Reapply after riding in wet conditions.
  • Suspension: Follow Rock Shox recommendations for servicing the Judy Silver TK AIR fork. Periodically check tyre pressure and suspension air pressure.
  • Brakes: Keep the brake rotors clean and free from contaminants. Avoid touching the rotor surface with oily hands.
  • Storage: Store the bike in a dry place, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
