The Cube Aim SLX in flashlime’n’juniper is the most vibrant and high-visibility iteration of Cube's flagship Aim model. For the 2025/2026 season, this bike moves away from traditional mountain bike colours in favour of a striking neon-and-deep-teal contrast that ensures you stand out on the trail or the commute. Beyond the bold aesthetics, this model is defined by its transition to the Shimano CUES 1x11 platform. This Linkglide-equipped drivetrain is specifically engineered for high durability and smooth shifting under tension, making it a perfect match for the rugged, go-anywhere nature of the Aim SLX.
The chassis remains a highlight of the range, featuring Cube’s SizeSplit geometry and smooth-welded frame junctions that give the aluminium frame a premium, carbon-like appearance. As you noted, this model is equipped with the SR Suntour XCM Disc fork, providing 100mm of travel to absorb trail chatter and urban potholes alike. The inclusion of a handlebar-mounted remote lockout is a critical utility feature, allowing you to stiffen the fork instantly for efficient climbing or high-speed pavement riding. With integrated mounting points for kickstands, mudguards, and racks, it is a versatile powerhouse that is as much at home on a cross-country loop as it is on a Monday morning commute.

Key Highlights
Shimano CUES 1x11 Drivetrain: This model utilizes the latest CUES ecosystem, offering an 11-50T range. It provides a massive gear spread for steep hills while the Linkglide technology ensures the cassette and chain last significantly longer than traditional 11-speed systems.
High-Visibility "Flashlime" Finish: This colorway isn't just about style; it significantly increases rider visibility in low-light conditions, which is a major safety benefit for those using the Aim SLX for urban commuting.
Remote Lockout Control: The SR Suntour XCM fork features a handlebar remote, allowing you to toggle the suspension on and off without looking down or taking your hands off the grips—ideal for transitioning from technical trails to smooth fire roads.
Advanced SizeSplit Scaling: By scaling wheel size to the frame (27.5" for smaller sizes, 29" for larger), Cube maintains the bike's nimble handling and ergonomic proportions for every rider height.
