Cube
Aim

The Cube Aim range is a versatile entry level hardtail mountain bike platform that brings quality and durability to an affordable price range. A lot of the design features from some of the German brand's higher models have been implemented on these bikes, including modern geometry which allows riders to get a real taste for the sport without needing to break the bank.

The Cube Aim mountain bike range all use the same frame, which is made from Aluminium in order to keep the weight down. The collection all offer similar features such as internal cable routing which provides a sleek look, and a low top tube and short chainstays to produce a responsive ride feel.

To keep the price down, the Cube Aim is a hardtail MTB range, meaning they have suspension forks but no rear shock. These are ideal bikes for cross country and trail riding, and many riders also like to use them as a winter bike due to the lack of maintenance they require.

One of the best value for money models is the Cube Aim Pro, which is equipped with Suntour forks and Shimano Cues drivetrain components, known for their fantastic reliability.

Anyone looking for an entry level mountain bike that offers "real MTB" features, should consider the Cube Aim, as in our opinion the range is one of the best hardtail under £1000.
