Product Information
Full details
The Cube Attain Race is designed for road cyclists who prioritize a balance of comfort, durability, and performance during long-distance endurance rides. This aluminium road bike features advanced frame geometry and a carbon fork to dampen road vibration, making it an excellent choice for varied terrains and diverse weather conditions. While it offers impressive stopping power and a versatile gear range, prospective owners should be aware that it utilizes a 2x9 drivetrain, which may feel more limited compared to higher-end 11 or 12-speed systems for competitive racing applications.

FAQs
Can I fit wider tyres on the Cube Attain Race?
The bike comes with 32mm tyres, which is quite generous. Check clearance at the chainstays and fork crown before attempting to fit anything wider.
Is this bike suitable for gravel riding?
While the 32mm tyres handle light gravel and hard-packed paths well, the geometry and gearing are optimized for tarmac road cycling.
How often should I service the hydraulic brakes?
Hydraulic fluid should typically be replaced or bled every 12 to 24 months, or sooner if you notice a degradation in performance.
Is the frame compatible with electronic shifting?
The standard Attain Race is designed for mechanical cable-actuated shifting; retrofitting electronic groupsets may not be supported by the frame's cable routing.
What is the primary benefit of the carbon fork?
The carbon fork provides a high strength-to-weight ratio and excels at absorbing road vibrations, which significantly reduces rider fatigue on long rides.
Troubleshooting
Brake levers feel spongy or pull to the handlebar
This indicates air in the hydraulic lines; the system requires a professional bleed.
Drivetrain skipping or noisy shifting
Check cable tension via the barrel adjusters on the derailleur or seek a professional indexing adjustment.
Unusual rattling sounds while riding
Check that the internal cable routing ports are secure and inspect the bottle cage bolts for tightness.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent vibration dampening provided by the carbon fork
- Consistent and powerful stopping power via hydraulic disc brakes
- Durable aluminium frame construction suitable for long-term use
- Internal cable routing for low maintenance and clean looks
- Wider 32mm tyres offer better stability on uneven roads
Cons
- 2x9 drivetrain is less versatile than 11 or 12-speed alternatives
- Aluminium frame is slightly heavier than high-end carbon equivalents
- Not optimized for high-intensity criterium racing
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Cube Attain Race, perform a basic safety check before every ride, specifically ensuring the thru-axles are tight and the hydraulic brake levers offer a firm feel. For optimal maintenance, clean the drivetrain every 100-200 miles or after riding in heavy rain, using a degreaser and high-quality chain lubricant.
Regarding compatibility, the frame supports modern road standards, though the 2x9 groupset components are specific to this drivetrain architecture. If you plan on fitting mudguards or rack mounts for commuting, ensure you choose hardware compatible with the specific frame eyelets. Always have your hydraulic brake system bled by a professional technician if the lever feel becomes 'spongy' or if stopping power diminishes.
