The CUBE AMS 110 SL Mountain Bike For 2011 Review
Yet again Cube are here with the new AMS full suspension mountain bikes. This year round they have expanded the range a bit to accommodate the growing demand for do it all type of mountain bike. For 2011 there is loads to choose from – the 100/110/125/130/150 millimeters of rear travel ready full-bounce frames made of alloy or HPC carbon composite, combined with various levels of spec.
The one I’m going to concentrate today is the shorter travel aluminum variant – the AMS 110 SL. As the model suggests it is 110 mm travel full bouncer aiming for the occasional racer/ trail center warrior/ endurance event goer First thing first the value for your bob is fantastic (something you gte with every Cube bike).
The AMS 110 SL is top of its range and therefore the spec reflects it and relative you’re geting lot for the £2199 – Fox 32 F110 Rlc Fit fork with 110mm and lockout, FOX RP23 Boost Valve rear shock, EASTON EA50XC custom light/tough wheel set, full 30 speed Shimano XT super reliable&crispy transmission, Shimano XT stoppers and custom Schwalbe kevlar racing tyres – just to highlight the best. All this comes fitted to well finished 7005 hydro-form triple butted alloy black anodized frame boasting many features – press fit BB30 Bottom Bracket, integrated rear brake Post Mount among many nifty little German touches (check the technology list for detailed description) The AMS is feather light as the SL (super light) its model name suggests) for is category and price, weighting only 11.5kg (25.3lbs) in 18’’ frame size.
So the Cube AMS 110 SL 2011 model is ideal bike for anyone who is in the market really sweet alloy full suspension mountain bike but doesn’t have necessarily unlimited budget, but wants the best kit going. The CUBE AMS 110 SL is a bike which will do it all – back door cross country, trail centre outing, endurance event with mates or you can race it if you wish.
CUBE say about AMS 110 SL:
“Universal 4-Link-System aluminium frame with balanced geometry. Take it for races, marathons or your everyday rides. The 110mm fully active travel and the complete new 3×10 Shimano Deore XT meet all your needs.”

Cube AMS Technologies:
HPA: For high end, we use High Performance 7005 aluminum alloy which has a very low density combined with high strength due to the special alloy and the hardening heat treatment. By triple butting or even quadruple butted tubing, aluminum tubes are reinforced where required and reduced where possible. In addition we use Special tube shapes, manufactured with Hydroform technology to better cope with the directional forces. The low density and high strength as well as the butting and the Hydroform technology enable us to make high performance frames with an ultimate level of stiffness.
Efficient Ride Control: Here particular attention has been given to the fact that irrespective of body size EVERY rider can have the optimum and identical riding experience. Here on a model-by-model basis we have differently designed the linkage geometry so that all frame heights have the same travel and suspension ratio (STK).In addition the kinematics have been optimised specifically to travel in respect of sensitivity, drive and no bossing. For this it was necessary to specially position all rear pivot points. Whether the rider is large or small, with any of these models he will always have the optimum ride experience.
Hydroforming System: A plain tube is placed in a mould with the specific form. The tube is filled with a mixture of liquids, often an oil mixture, which is put under high pressure. It presses the material into the negative form of the mould and gives it its shape. The manufacturing of this part concentrates, in the first place, on technical and stability issues related to the forces and stresses the part will be subject to as well as on reduced weight. Besides, hydroforming also has some great design aspects. Hydroforming enables us to make optimally light and strong shapes and internal partitions for our frames.
FSP4 link: The requirement for a continuously active and fully usable travel: The rear triangle is not affected by pedaling or especially braking forces. Regardless of the fact that a variety of other possibilities exists, we employ a four pivot chain stay construction. Here, one of the pivots is located between the dropout and the chain stay; this ensures that braking does not have a negative effect on the movement of the rear wheel. Thereby via the appropriate positioning of the remaining pivots, we obtain the finest riding qualities for our full suspension bikes in terms of uphill as well as downhill abilities.
Press Fit BB: With press-fit bearings, the outer bearing ring is pressed directly into the frame housing and not screwed-in as usual. With its wider housing, the down tube and the chain stays are joined with the full width. Because the width of the housing is a parameter in calculating the stiffness, every millimeter of additional width gives a significant improvement of lateral stiffness, whilst retaining the comfort-bringing resilience of the chain stays.
Size Tuned Kinematic: Size Tuned Kinematic is a four-pivot suspension technology developed exclusively by CUBE. It guarantees that every frame in every size will have exactly the same dynamic properties for the designed and factual travel and response. To reach this, separate links had to be developed for each frame size.
Fox DTC: Elaborative developed kinematics are only able to function correctly if the associated suspension shocks is properly tuned to it. Connected with the new Fox Float RP23 Boost Valve shock and the DHX RC4 shock, we could achieve the best optimized performance.
FSS Frame Save System: To protect our high-end aluminum frames, they are built with the CUBE Frame Save System replaceable derailleur hanger. The thread is in the hanger and not in the frame as usual. In case of a crash, this hanger can be easily and quickly replaced by a new one.
Laser Design Surface: On the high performance frames, graphics and texts are laser-cut into the material which makes them indestructible for a lifetime.
Wet Paint Surface: On polished and brushed aluminium and all HPC frames the logos and graphics are applied in multi-layer wet paint. We use this surface treatment technology mainly to save weight.
Integrated Post Mount: The Postmount breaking absorption makes it possible for us to save extra parts. The not needed IS adapter with bolts saves approx. 30 g. This may not seem much, but it shows the potential comprised in the details.
Integrated Cable Routing: Internally routed cables offer many advantages: clean appearance, cables are protected from dirt and therefore have a considerably longer life and the not required external housing saves weight.
