The Peloton SL is a great bike, just make sure you choose the right size. As expected, the Shimano 11-speed drivetrain worked flawlessly and the brakes are fantastic, a combination of Shimano’s excellent dual-pivot calipers and Mavic’s machined braking surface. The frame itself is light, and stiff, and encourages levels of flamboyance we really weren’t expecting. There’s a real spring to its step that makes you want to sprint for road signs even when you’re riding solo. Printouts are large and accurate with the CubeProDuo which. Fortunately, you’re not buying blind with Cube and you’ll be able to go to a shop to try the fit for yourself before you spend any money. The cube pro duo prints up to two colors per print from ABS, PLA, and durable Nylon materials. It was a useful reminder that there’s more to bike handling that simply getting the contact points into the right position. Having switched in a longer stem to replace the 90mm version that came supplied with the Peloton SL, it was obvious upon rolling out onto the congested city streets that surround Cyclist’s HQ that combining a long stem with a relatively slack head angle had produced some handling quirks. They don’t have many fans in the Cyclist office, but during this test they performed adequately. Mavic’s own-brand Aksion tyres are marked as 25mm but come up on the narrow side. These wheels will last, and won’t hold you back in any road riding situation. With a retail price of £220 they’re an unusual find on a £1,000 bike, but that’s all to Cube’s credit. Weighing 1,774g for the pair without tyres, they’re also notably light in comparison to the wheels that would normally come supplied on bikes at this price. The Mavic Aksium wheels are excellent and a worthy upgrade to most bikes. The Midea Duo’s self-contained dual-hose setup and powerful inverter compressor make it better at dialing in a precise comfort level while being quieter and. That head angle isn’t a problem in itself, making for stable handling at speed, but conversely, it can feel a little odd at slower speeds, or track-standing at the lights. As a result, we’d advise you use a shorter than normal stem to improve handling at low speeds, which may require a nominally larger frame than you’d choose from other brands. We measured the Cube’s head angle at 70.5 degrees, rather than the specified 71.5 – a discrepancy that likely comes about from the way aluminium frames distort slightly as they cool after welding. That allows low-speed manoeuvrability while still being stable and predictable at speed. Road bike geometry is normally very conservative around a median of 73 degrees seat and head angles. One interesting geometry quirk of the Peloton SL is its head angle. Cube pro duo is ideal for the classroom environment and is the perfect 3D printer for students to get hands on experience due to its ease of use and low cost. Either way, we easily achieved a comfortable position on the Peloton simply by swapping out the stock 90mm stem for a longer, 120mm version, and with Cube having an extensive dealer network, there’s no excuse to get the wrong size bike.
