Attain (Comfort)
Origin
Cube was founded in 1993 by Marcus Puerner in Waldershof, Bavaria, starting in a 50-square-metre corner of his father's furniture factory and growing into one of Europe's largest bike makers. The Attain arrived as Cube's answer to the endurance-road category pioneered by bikes like the Specialized Roubaix and Trek Domane: a road bike that trades a slammed race position for all-day comfort without giving up tarmac speed. Cube built the platform around what it calls 'Road Comfort' geometry, arguing that 'a comfortable bike is a fast bike' because a rider who is not fighting the position holds power longer. The aluminium Attain has always been the accessible half of the family (the carbon C:62 Attain sits above it), and over the years it migrated from rim brakes to disc, gaining a full carbon fork, thru-axles and internal routing while keeping an entry price that made it a default recommendation for first road bikes across Europe.
Specifications
- Frame
- 6061 T6 Superlite aluminium, double-butted tubes, internal cable routing, Road Comfort geometry
- Weight
- kg
- Drivetrain
- Shimano Claris/Tiagra 2x8 (16-speed), 50/34T compact crank, 11-34T cassette (current base). Pre-2021 base was rim-brake Claris 2x8.

- Wheels
- Cube alloy wheelset (RA-series aero disc rims), 700c
The verdict
- Genuinely comfortable, confidence-inspiring endurance geometry — ideal for beginners and long days
- Strong value: quality 6061 frame + full carbon fork and Shimano/Continental parts at entry price
- All-weather practicality — disc brakes and mudguard compatibility make it a real year-round bike
- Heavy for the class (~10.5 kg base) with a fairly heavy alloy wheelset that blunts climbing and sprints
- Limited 28mm tyre clearance on the alloy frame — not a gravel-capable endurance bike
- Entry drivetrains (Claris 2x8 with 11-34 Megarange) have gappy gearing and mechanical disc brakes lack the bite of hydraulics
