Mr White has sent us this rather tidy looking looking Cube Elite HPC Race. It uses their rather light (950g)  full carbon frame, with a tapered integrated headset up front, seriously chunky down tube to a press fit BB, with ‘Double Flex Stays’ that act like a little carbon wishbone to reduce the harshness race hardtails can sometime suffer from. It’s got a Fox 32 FIT with remote lockout and full 10spd X.0 with a triple carbon chainset up front. We popped it on the scales and it’s a rather stunning 21lbs out of the box, impressive with ‘just’ X.0 kit. Although we’ve got a bevy of superlight and super expensive hardtails in the next issue, this one will be our Issue 63 Grinder bike and Benji is going to make himself horribly sick by pedalling very hard.

Price: £2,899
