Gossamer forged alloy 2-piece, steel spindle, 175mm length, 50/39/30 alloy ringsĬarbon blades, 1 1/8 alloy steerer, crown and dropouts The Scape Active Ergo 2 saddle is similar to a Fizik Arione and while it allows the rider to move around more than the others, it dips uncomfortably in the middle. The bar tape is soft and pliable to the touch in much the same way as a tennis racket handle, though it looks like it’ll be hard to keep clean. The black anodised FSA Gossamer triple chainset co-ordinates well with the frame and the Ritchey Comp bars had our testers guessing the bike’s price tag a good few hundred pounds higher than it is. The Peloton’s Ritchey finishing kit sets the standard for others to follow and the parts selection is lighter than on other similarly-priced bikes despite the triple chainset and 12-27 cassette. Equipment: weight-saving pick with triple versatility There are seven sizes right up to a huge 64cm, measured from the centre of the bottom bracket to the top of the seat-tube, and while there is no major cause for concern with the geometry, we selected a slightly longer than average stem for the 56cm version tested to compensate for a shorter than average (54.5cm) top-tube. An attractive Deda (short for Dedacciai) motif on the Black Blade carbon/aluminium fork gives the bike a cool factor as it is rare to see a branded fork on a bike costing less than a grand.Ĭube has bucked the trend for compact and sloping frame geometry, preferring to remain true to a level top-tube. The frame is made from 7005 aluminium, has a butted down-tube and top-tube, and it’s all welded to Cube’s usual high standards.

There’s no carbon back end to drool over here, but the black, red and white livery plus choice wheels and kit make it look more expensive than other similarly-priced bikes. The Peloton shares the same frame as the Cube Aerial and while no bloater, its 1,675g frame is one of the heavier in this price range. CubePro / CubeX filament pulled inside or jammed within the cartridge Worried about throwing away an entire reel just for a simple problemDon't worry A f. The Peloton’s beefy frame will suit heavy, tall riders in particular and those who prefer a traditional, level top-tube. Frame/Chassis: big, beefy & classy-looking To make things a bit more comfortable on long rides we’d recommend swapping out the 31.6mm seatpost for a USE converter shim and a narrower, slightly more flexible 27.2mm seatpost. This tendency to transmit every single nuance of the road surface through to the rider can be a hindrance though.
3D Systems charges 49 for each cartridge, each of which contains less than a kilogram (less than 2 pounds) of filament. Its taut handling and short wheelbase make the Peloton feel like it is more closely connected to the rider’s contact points than the others, and our experienced roadie testers liked this. The downside of the Cube 3 is the cost of the materials.
