A really lightweight bike won't win races on its own. But it's a good starting point. For the junior whippet in your family, the CUBE Elite 240 C:62 SLX ticks all the right boxes. Its lightweight carbon frame and fork – perfectly proportioned for smaller riders – are just the beginning.

CUBE has chosen light, tough Newmen wheels and ultra-light Schwalbe Aerothan inner tubes for quick acceleration. Powered them with a CUBE Action Rookies crank and Sram GX 1x11 transmission. And added child-proportioned handlebars, grips and brake levers – connected to powerful Magura MT8 Pro hydraulic discs – for perfect race day control, whatever the conditions. All that's left is to pedal... and win!

Built from the same heat-treated 6061 aluminium tubes as the adult bikes, the Acid 240's frame is every bit as tough as a full-size mountain bike, but with the right weight and proportions for a child. There's a bottle mount for mid-ride refreshment and rack mounts, too. The handling is designed to be both fun and confidence-inspiring. And, because CUBE knows accidents can happen, they made the gear hanger easily replaceable so that a knock or crash needn't result in an expensive repair.
