CUBE / PART 2
Three years, four versions. – SLICK EXCERPT #19
Si possono individuare due tipologie di forcelloni, utilizzati sulla Cube nel corso della sua attività (più la versione che non ha corso) per quattro versioni:
dunque le versioni 2002 e 2003 si assomigliano molto, così come le versioni 2004 e 2005.
Interestingly, in the first two versions the lines are very square and imposing, while from 2004 the lines begin to soften.
So it was in 2004 that Aprilia’s chassis makers made a significant change, and the development of that solution led to the 2005 version.

So the Cube swingarm has changed continuously, year after year, so no swingarm is exactly the same as the previous season’s swingarm.
Because the frame builders have been continuously developing this area of the Cube as well, as a result of the major changes to the rear suspension: the 2004 model is hybrid, because it was designed to accommodate two types of suspension: the traditional one, anchored to the frame, and the one that is total body inside the swingarm itself, so it is detached from the frame (the system is easily recognizable, observing the attachments on the top of the swingarm).
And it is the version chosen for 2005.
