Andreas Raelert's Cube Aerium

The Raelert brothers signed up with the German bike brand Cube this year and here is a look at the Cube Aerium Super HPC SLT race bike of Andreas Raelert as he had it set up for the Ironman European Championships in Frankfurt. He was super patient and helpful getting this done.

Andreas Raelert rides a size M Cube Aerium Super HPC SLT.

The 3/4 view shows the lines of this bike and lets us know that it is indeed a size M.

This view from the front shows us the complete bike.

The TRP V brakes are integrated into the fork.

His pads are set up very narrow and he does not use a BTA bottle setup.

Raelert rode a Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 11-speed drive train and a unlabeled Lightweight disc in the rear with an Easton 90 up front.

The handy work on the top tube was designed by his girlfriend Julia.

Raelert rides 172.5 Rotor cranks with a Power2Max power meter and Osymetric rings.

The custom fi'zi:k Tritone saddle matches the bike nicely.
