Acid 260 Disc / lizard'n'blue

The Cube Acid 260 Disc in Lizard ’n’ Blue is a 26-inch trail-capable youth mountain bike designed for young riders (height ~135–150 cm / ages ~9–12+) transitioning toward full-size frame geometry and off-road riding. Constructed from double-butted Aluminium Lite alloy featuring Cube's Agile Ride Geometry, internal cable routing, flat-mount disc brake interfaces, and a bold "Lizard 'n' Blue" colourway, it scales down adult hardtail performance into a youth-proportioned package.

Equipped with an SR Suntour XCE suspension fork providing 80mm of travel, it absorbs trail bumps and surface chatter to improve control on uneven ground. Drivetrain duties are handled by a 16-speed (2x8) Shimano setup—combining a 36x22T Shimano crankset with an 8-speed 12-32T cassette and Rapidfire-Plus shifters for intuitive gear selection on steep climbs. Stopping power comes from Shimano hydraulic disc brakes (BR-MT200/UR300) with 160mm rotors, while high-traction 2.25-inch CUBE MTB tires on double-wall 26" rims provide stability across dirt, gravel, and singletrack.
