Its aluminium hardtail frame, 100mm suspension fork and wide-range 1x drivetrain give riders the essentials for exploring local trails, bridleways and forest tracks, while its versatile setup is equally useful for everyday riding.Cube builds the frame from Aluminium Lite tubing using its Advanced Mechanical Forming process. Double-butted tubes reduce unnecessary material while retaining strength where it's needed, helping create a practical and durable frame. Internal cable routing keeps the cables neatly contained for a cleaner appearance.The frame also includes mounting points for Cube's SIC system and a flat-mount kickstand. These give riders the option to add practical accessories, making the Aim ONE easier to adapt for everyday transport as well as recreational riding.An SR Suntour XCS suspension fork provides 100mm of travel. This helps absorb impacts from roots, rocks, potholes and uneven trail surfaces, improving comfort and helping the front wheel track rougher ground.Shimano CUES provides a simple 1x9 drivetrain. A CUES SL-U4010 Rapidfire Plus shifter controls the RD-U4000-GS rear derailleur, while the FC-UT400 chainset uses a single 32-tooth chainring. With no front derailleur to manage, riders only need to think about one shifter as the terrain changes.A wide-range Shimano CUES CS-LG300 11-46T cassette provides useful gearing for varied terrain. The 46-tooth largest sprocket gives an easier ratio for tackling climbs, while the overall range covers faster sections without adding the complexity of a second chainring.Shimano BR-MT200/UR300 hydraulic disc brakes use 160mm rotors front and rear. Hydraulic operation provides controlled braking with consistent lever feel, giving riders dependable speed control in both wet and dry conditions.ACID Pro 25 rims are tubeless ready, giving riders the option to convert to a tubeless setup later. Going tubeless can allow lower tyre pressures for extra grip and comfort while sealant can take care of many small punctures.Cube fits wide 2.25in MTB tyres front and rear. Their extra volume adds cushioning and grip on loose or uneven surfaces while retaining the versatility needed for paths and tarmac.Cube's Size Split system means wheel size is matched to frame size rather than using the same wheel diameter across the entire range. The supplied specification doesn't state which frame sizes receive each wheel size, so I've avoided assigning specific 27.5in or 29in wheels to individual sizes.A 680mm Cube Rise Trail Bar, Cube Performance stem and ACID Venec Lite saddle complete the contact points. Flat pedals are also included, so the bike is ready to ride without needing to add a set separately.At a stated 15.3kg, the Cube Aim ONE keeps its focus on simplicity and versatility. The 100mm fork, wide tyres, hydraulic disc brakes and CUES 1x9 drivetrain make it a practical starting point for riders looking to build confidence off-road while still having a bike that's useful away from the trails.
