Cube Aerium SHPC SLT

Cube is quite a popular brand in Germany and they just launched the 2013 Aerium SHPC triathlon bike. This Aerium is quite a drastic departure from the somewhat generic and plain looking previous version. The SLT featured here is the creme of the crop.

Yes, this Cube Aerium SHPC SLT has features seen on some other high-end TT bikes, but it still quickly captured our attention.

The integrated TRP brakes re sleek and the Reynolds RZR wheels make this bike look super mean.

The Profile Design cockpit matches the rest of the bike quite nicely.

As we said, Reynolds RZR wheels are stock here.

Saddle are really just place holder on high-end bike and this Selle Italia one most likely will not leave the bike shop on this bike.

A look at the seat cluster of the Aerium SHPC.

Vision TriMax Carbon cranks round out this package.

Brakes on the rear are nicely tucked away.

Shimano Dura-Ace Di-2 drive train.

This Cube stem can be flipped for a different stem angle.

The front end of the stem looks like an oversized bullet.

As for the price, well, it is expensive. And you know the old phrase, if you have to ask ...
