This bike promises to be top-notch on any route with its C:62 carbon frame, integrated cockpit system, and modern components. The Agree C:62 SLT is made to tackle all kinds of climbing steep climbs, sprinting on level stretches, and handling endurance rides. We will examine closely in this review the bike’s characteristics, performance, and uniqueness from the competitors.
Riding Activities
Standing at the Tour of California’s starting line, ready to tackle the storied Stage 3 path from Pismo Beach to Morro Bay, the crisp morning air swept over my face. Ahead, the undulating hills and seaside roads promised both challenges and amazing vistas. Looking at my Cube Agree C:62 SLT, its elegant Nebula N White frame shone beneath early sunlight. I knew I had the right tool for today.
Elevating
The race started with a quick rollout down the picturesque Highway 1. The level coastline stretch allowed me to evaluate the aerodynamic capacity of the C: 62 carbon frame. The lightweight build of the bike and the flawless Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 drivetrain helped each pedal stroke seem smooth and effective. As I dropped low into an aerodynamic posture, the integrated cockpit system maintained the handlebars clean and clutter-free, therefore lowering drag. The coastal breeze pushed against me, but the bike sliced through it with ease to provide the pace required to keep ahead of the pack.
The actual test started as we neared the first series of rolling hills. Starting softly, the climbs quickly got tougher with severe inclines running through the seaside cliffs. To keep a consistent tempo, I dipped into a lower gear and the Shimano Dura-Ace system responded promptly. I then easily changed gears. The stiffness of the Cube Agree C: 62 SLT shone here, making sure every bit of my exertion turned into forward motion. The bike felt solid and responsive despite the uneven surface, which let me concentrate on keeping my rhythm. The light weight frame made the climbs less taxing, and I discovered myself sprinting through areas most riders found difficult.
Descending
The crest gave us a broad downslope toward San Luis Obispo, and I was eager to let the bike demonstrate its downhill ability. The route curved and turned, with severe bends needing accuracy and control. Holding the integrated handlebars, I confidently leaned into every bend. Perfect stopping strength from the Shimano Dura-Ace hydraulic disc brakes let me slow late and carry pace across the turns. On stretches of loose gravel as well, the Continental GP5000 tires firmly gripped the road. The bike hugging the ground gave me the stability and control I needed to push harder.
The road cleared as we headed near Morro Bay, providing a level and quick finish. I switched into higher ratios, the Cube Agree C:62 SLT sprinting forward with every pedal action. By reducing resistance using the bike’s aerodynamic form, I could save energy for the last sprint. Seeing the famous Morro Rock, I got off the saddle and offered it everything I had. Every stroke counted because of the frame’s sturdiness and the drivetrain’s efficiency; it drove me past the finish line with a flash of speed.
Overshooting the line, I had a flash of pride and excitement. Over the race, the Cube Agree C: 62 SLT had been a perfect teammate. On the climbs, it excelled; on the descents, it dominated; on the flats, it gave speed and efficiency. This bike seemed like an extension of me, not only a tool. Cube Agree C:62 SLT proven on the difficult paths of the Tour of California that it is built to perform, whatever of the terrain thrown at it.
Specificized
Perfect for extended rides and serious racing, the Cube Agree C:62 SLT boasts a C:62 carbon frame that is shockingly light and stiff. The aerodynamic design lowers drag, thereby enabling you to keep faster speeds with less work.

The frame’s design maintains you in a comfortable posture, which lessens the strain of climbs.
Descending the Agree C:62 SLT is an exciting adventure. As you gather speed on twisting roads, the bike’s steadiness and sturdiness give you confidence. The hydraulic disc brakes provide outstanding stopping power, therefore enabling precise control of your descent. Together with the Continental Grand Prix tires, the bike firmly grips the road—even on tight turns or damp terrain. Braking performance plus tire traction lets you fall with total assurance.
Designed to be endurance-oriented, the Agree C:62 SLT strikes a mix of comfort and pace. On longer rides, the carbon frame absorbs vibrations from uneven road surfaces, so lessening tiredness. Comfortable arrangement of the saddle and ergonomic handlebars makes it simple to keep your posture for hours. The bike feels smooth and efficient whether you are racing or on a long-distance ride, which lets you concentrate on the road ahead free from diversion.
