Aim SLX

The Aim SLX is the heavy hitter of the Aim family. It’s designed for riders who want the simplicity of a single-ring setup and the reliability of Shimano’s flagship mountain bike tech. The "slateblack'n'black" finish is a masterclass in stealth, using a mix of matte and gloss textures that give it a high-end, "pro" look. Whether you’re attacking a local trail centre or looking for a rugged, curb-proof commuter, the Aim SLX provides a stable and predictable platform thanks to its updated geometry and refined aluminium frame.

Key Highlights
Shimano Deore 1x12 Drivetrain: This is the star of the show. The 12-speed Deore system offers a massive 510% gear range (10-51T), allowing you to crawl up the steepest forest inclines while still having the top-end speed for the flats.
SR Suntour XCM with Remote Lockout: The 100mm XCM fork is a reliable, coil-sprung workhorse that simplifies maintenance. The handlebar-mounted remote lockout is a must-have for urban riding, allowing you to instantly turn the fork "rigid" for maximum efficiency on smooth pavement.
Advanced Mechanical Forming (AMF): Cube’s frame tech ensures the tubes are shaped for maximum strength without adding weight. The internal cable routing keeps the lines clean and protects your shift cables from grit and grime.
Future-Proof Frame: While it's a cross-country hardtail at heart, the frame includes a flat-mount disc attachment that integrates perfectly with the CUBEstand, plus hidden mounting points for ACID mudguards and luggage racks, making it an incredibly versatile daily driver.
