The CUBE TWO15 Race and TWO15 SLX share the same gravity-focused TWO15 platform, giving both bikes a clear purpose for downhill riding, bike parks, race tracks and big, technical lines. Both use CUBE’s high-pivot suspension design and adjustable geometry, but each model brings a different component specification to the platform.
The TWO15 Race and SLX therefore offer two distinct ways to experience the same gravity-focused bike, with differences in their suspension, braking, wheels and finishing kit allowing riders to choose the specification that best suits their riding and setup preferences.
CUBE TWO15 Race
The CUBE TWO15 Race is the more accessible of the two models, built around CUBE's gravity-focused TWO15 frame and designed for riders who want a dedicated bike for downhill tracks, bike parks and challenging gravity-focused riding. It uses a RockShox Boxxer Select LinearXL fork with 200mm of travel alongside a RockShox Vivid Select rear shock, giving the bike the suspension platform needed for rough and demanding terrain. The drivetrain is made up of a SRAM GX DH 7-speed rear derailleur and trigger shifter, paired with SRAM Descendant DH cranks and an MRP G5 SL chain guide.
Braking comes from SRAM Maven Base brakes with 220/200mm rotors, while the Newmen Performance 30 strong/strong wheels are paired with Continental Kryptotal Front tyres. The result is a purpose-built gravity bike with a specification focused around control, durability and predictable handling when riding steep, rough and technical terrain, making it well suited to everything from regular bike-park days to riders looking to get into more serious downhill riding.
CUBE TWO15 SLX
The CUBE TWO15 SLX takes the same gravity-oriented TWO15 platform and gives it a higher-spec component package, making it another option for riders looking for a dedicated bike for downhill, bike parks and demanding gravity trails. At the front is a Fox 40 Float Factory GRIPX2 fork with 203mm of travel, matched to a Fox Float X2 Factory rear shock with adjustable high- and low-speed compression and rebound. The drivetrain remains a SRAM GX DH 7-speed setup, while braking is upgraded to SRAM Maven Silver with 220/200mm rotors.
The SLX also features Newmen Beskar 30 strong/strong wheels, along with a Schwalbe Magic Mary Gravity Pro Ultrasoft front tyre and Tacky Chan Gravity Pro Soft rear tyre. CUBE also gives the SLX adjustable geometry through its headset system, allowing riders to alter the bike's reach and steering angle to suit their preferences and riding style. With its Factory-level Fox suspension and more premium component selection, the SLX provides another take on the TWO15 platform for riders who want to make use of its adjustability and tune the bike around their own approach to gravity riding.
