The CUBE Nuroad Hybrid - go-anywhere adventure
CUBE launches a new line of agile, go-anywhere gravel bikes with the added flexibility of lightweight Bosch SX power.
Paved roads needn't define the boundaries of your world. The new CUBE Nuroad Hybrid series puts genuine go-anywhere adventure riding within reach of anyone. All that's needed is a sense of curiosity and a willingness to put in that first pedal stroke.
Built from CUBE's proprietary C:62® carbon, the Nuroad Hybrid's elegantly minimalist frame and fork together weigh less than 2kg, but they’re also packed with practical touches to make life easier. There's room to run up to 50mm tyres even with mudguards fitted, for better grip and a more comfortable ride. Rear carrier mounts are complemented by matching mounts for a front carrier or CUBE ACID fork cages – and a load up to 10kg – on the full carbon fork, while an optional handlebar bag adds even more carrying capacity. The rear end is equipped with a Boost axle for secure handling and a UDH gear hanger for future-proof versatility. In order to complement the frame’s clean aesthetic, cables run through the headset and the seat clamp is integrated. There's also a flat mount kickstand interface for commuters, and a direct mount chain guide to keep the gears meshing smoothly, even on the roughest surfaces.
Blending seamlessly into the Nuroad Hybrid's svelte frame design, the Bosch SX drive system sets a new standard in lightweight e-bike power, with lower pedal resistance for a natural ride feel. Offering up to 55Nm of torque, a built-in 400Wh battery and controller – and the option to add a 250Wh PowerMore range extender – it helps take the sting out of climbs to make adventures more fun.
The Nuroad Hybrid range features five models, including two FE variants which come ready outfitted with full length mudguards, a rear carrier, kickstand, and lights.
The Nuroad Hybrid C:62 SLT 400X channels the very best of go-anywhere adventure technology. Complementing the svelte carbon frame, Newmen Advanced SL X.R.25 carbon wheels blend extremely low weight with the toughness needed for off-the-beaten-track exploration, while Sram's XX SL Eagle Transmission gears deliver crisp, on-demand shifts every time – and takes its power direct from the bike’s battery. And, like every Nuroad Hybrid model, the frame is PowerMore-ready, for an additional 250Wh of extended range.
Super-precise electronic shifting is standard with the Nuroad Hybrid C:62 SLX 400X and its mudguard, rear carrier, kickstand and lights-equipped counterpart, the Nuroad Hybrid C:62 SLX FE 400X. Because the shifting takes its power directly from the bike’s battery, there’s no need for an additional power source. Tough Newmen Evolution SL X.R.25 wheels and Schwalbe 45mm tyres will tackle most surfaces, road or off-road.
Last but by no means least, the Nuroad Hybrid C:62 Race 400X shares its Shimano GRX 1x12 gears with its Nuroad Hybrid C:62 Race FE 400X stablemate, which also adds practical full-length mudguards, a rear carrier, plus a kickstand and lighting set. Weekend adventurer, weekday commuter, or both… it’s your call.
Each Nuroad Hybrid model is designed to bring out the explorer in every rider: go-anywhere adventure, re-imagined for a new generation. The only limits to your riding are the ones that you set for yourself – with an Nuroad Hybrid, you can keep pushing further.
