With the Cube Fritzz I will ride a lot on my hometrails, but also I will do some nice short bike-vacations and maybe some races with the bike.īorn: 1990 | Biking since: ca. It combines for me the best of both worlds, riding downhill on challenging trails without being dependent on a lift or shuttle. Later I focused more towards freeriding and motocross and ended up some time ago in Enduro. I was born in 1990 and ever since I can remember, I have been riding bikes, first I did long, long trips with my parents, where we rode some trails without any suspension and horrible V-brakes. With well-chosen parts for the low price, a clear statement of intent has been made to the competitors! The long-term test will show whether the favorable bike keeps what it promises and whether it can provide long-term fun too – we will report! In general, the Cube Fritzz 160 HPA PER 27.5 looks like a great deal for only 1,999 euros. The frame has provision for routing a stealth seatpost, so we mounted a matching RockShox Reverb for more fun on the trails. For shifting you find a functional Shimano Deore / XT component mix on the Fritzz.

To protect the chainstays against paint damage a neoprene protection sleeve is already installed.
#RL TRACKING PRO PRO#
Tractor Pullers Association (NTPA), the Pro Pulling League (PPL). Thus, the chain remains on the right spot even in rough sections I will retrofit a shiftable chain guide. R+L Carriers is a privately owned American freight shipping company based in Wilmington. In front a Shimano Deore crank with 175-millimeter-long arms and 24/38 tooth chainrings are fitted.
#RL TRACKING PRO PLUS#
With a Shimano XT rear derailleur (with Shadow Plus technology) and Deore front derailleur in conjunction with the Deore shifters. The 2×10 drivetrain underlines the good all round characteristics of the Fritzz. The Fritzz comes with a Formula C1 Brake with a 203mm rotor in front and a 180mm on the rear.įor me the cube made handlebar with 720mm width is to narrow, that’s why I will change it soon. With tubeless ready wheels and a thick rim strip setting up the tires as tubeless was very easy. The Schwalbe Hans Dampf tire with the trailstar compound take care of contact with the ground. It has a rebound control and also a lockout feature that allows you to almost completely lock the rear suspension. On the rear a Manitou Radium Pro DC RL shock does the work. The compression can also be used to lock the fork for longer pedaling sections. On the front a RockShox Pike Solo Air with 160mm of travel does a pretty good job so far – showing a good response and high class performance! The rebound and the compression can be adjusted to the personal preference of the rider. The only thing missing for tough enduro use is a variable seatpost which we have upgraded to right at the start. The Fritzz comes with consistently solid and functional parts.
