Cube Analog 29 (2016)

The 2016 Cube Analog 29 is an entry-level mountain bike. Kitted out with casual riders in mind, the Analog is a pleasure to ride, with a wide gear range, comfortably padded saddle and grips, and an easy step-over sloping top tube. Once aboard, it's a zippy performer on singletrack, gravel paths, or even pavement: the light aluminum frame is nimble and responsive, contributing nicely to the bike's overall light weight. Componentry is a well-behaved mix, delivering performance and value, with clean-shifting Shimano gearing and sure-stopping hydraulic disc brakes, a smooth SR suspension fork, and tough, high-traction tires from Schwalbe.
A very good recreational mountain bike.
