Cube has equipped the bike with hydraulic disc brakes for reliable braking and stopping. There is also a pannier rack, mudguards and a kickstand, making the Cube Touring Hybrid Pro a good companion for everyday use and touring. For comfort, Cube has equipped the bike with a suspension fork and a special geometry (Efficient Comfort Geometry). The touring bike with e-drive is available in various frame shapes and sizes.

Cube Kathmandu Hybrid SLT 750
Cube sees the Kathmandu Hybrid SLT 750 as a stylish and comfortable bike for all touring routes. Even long journeys are supported by the fourth-generation Bosch CX motor and a battery with a capacity of 750 watt hours. The e-bike is equipped with XT 12-speed gears from Shimano and matching XT disc brakes with a 4-piston design, which ensure controlled braking manoeuvres even in wet conditions. The bike rolls on Newmen wheels fitted with Schwalbe Marathon Efficiency tyres.
At the front, a RockShox Recon Gold RL air suspension fork and an adjustable stem ensure comfort during the ride, while the Byschulz suspension seatpost ensures comfort further back. No journey is complete without luggage, which is why Cube has equipped the bike with a luggage rack integrated into the design; mudguards keep out splash water and dirt. And if it takes longer, gets dark early or visibility is poor, the lighting system ensures visibility and safety. Thanks to the rear kickstand, the Cube Kathmandu Hybrid can be parked anywhere and does not have to be leant against walls or trees.

City bike: Supreme Hybrid EXC
Our everyday lives are often hectic and a balancing act between work, leisure, household, etc. Cube has equipped the Supreme Hybrid EXT with a Gates belt drive, which is also powered by the Bosch Active Plus motor, so that the means of transport requires as little maintenance as possible and is always ready for use. The gear ratio can be adapted to gradients, headwinds or current requirements thanks to the 8-speed Nexus hub gears from Shimano.
This e-bike is also equipped with hydraulic disc brakes from Shimano. The tyres on the city bike are from Continental: Contact Urban. Like the Kathmandu Hybrid SLT 750, the stem of the Cube Supreme Hybrid EXC is adjustable. Additional comfort is provided by the built-in suspension fork and suspension seat post.

Cargo Dual Hybrid
Using a bike instead of a car is not always easy, especially when large purchases, bulky items or even children need to be transported. This is where cargo bikes come into play, and with the Cargo Dual Hybrid, Cube is also getting in on the act. Riders are supported by the fourth generation Bosch Cargo Line motor, which is powered by two 500 watt-hour batteries. The right gear ratio can be found using the infinitely adjustable hub gears. And now to the heart of the cargo bike: the transport box. Cube does not specify the dimensions, but promises that even bulky belongings will arrive safely at their destination.
A rain cover and a double child seat are optionally available. Functioning lighting is essential for use in city traffic, which is why Cube has equipped its Cargo Dual Hybrid with bright LED lighting. Schwalbe pick-up tyres and a hydraulic disc brake system from Magura ensure that there is always sufficient traction and braking power even in bad weather. The bike also has a side stand. Other accessories include a set of mudguards, and the bike has been fitted with a suspension fork to ensure a comfortable ride even on poor roads and cycle paths.

The Cube Nuroad C:26 Pro was designed for ambitious off-road rides. Cube equips the carbon frame and carbon fork of the C:62 Pro version of the Nuroad with the 11-speed Shimano GRX gravel drivetrain and hydraulic disc brakes. The frame and fork offer space for wide tyres and are fitted with Schwalbe G-One Allround tyres in a width of 40 millimetres. There are attachment points on the fork for a lowrider rack.

In the case of the Nuroad C:62 SLT, the seal of approval refers to a fast, light and versatile all-rounder with a full carbon frame and full carbon fork in combination with the corresponding components. These include the electric XX1 Eagle AXS 12-speed drivetrain from Sram, which ensures smooth gear changes with a wide gear range. The off-road-specific Newmen Advanced carbon wheels with Schwalbe G-One-R tyres are grippy and robust. The hydraulic disc brakes always provide safety and reliable braking. Cube sees the Nuroad C:62 being used for both fast (after-work) laps and bikepacking tours.

At the same time, the bike comes with a complete accessory set consisting of pannier rack, mudguards, kickstand and lights. The frame is made of aluminium, the fork of carbon.

Stylish city runabout with recycled materials: Cube Kathmandu SLX
The bicycle as a means of transport is not only good for the daily exercise quota, it also minimises the ecological footprint. With the Kathmandu SLX, Cube aims to reduce this by using many recycled materials. This is the case with the front light, for example, and also applies to the mudguards, which are made from recycled PET. The Pure Contact tyres from Continental are made from sustainably sourced rubber. "That's a start," says the bicycle manufacturer from Waldersdorf. The bike should offer reliability, ease of use and comfort. To achieve this, Cube has selected Shimano XT components and fitted the Kathmandu SLX with a RockShox Paragon Gold air suspension fork. There is also an integrated pannier rack, the aforementioned mudguards, a kickstand and lights.
- Frame shapes: Men, Trapeze
- Frame sizes for men: XS (46 cm), S (50 cm), M (54 cm), L (58 cm), XL (62 cm)
- Frame sizes Trapezoidal frame: XS (46 cm), S (50 cm), M (54 cm)

Cube Nulane C:62 SLT - Sports mate and touring partner
The Nulane C:62 SLT convinces primarily as a sports companion and touring partner, as a recent MYBIKE test showed. You can read the whole test in the current magazine.
It has already been explained that the SLT in the product name refers to Cube's top-of-the-range bikes. For the Nulane C:62, this means that the frame and fork are made of carbon fibre, and the resulting promise from Cube is increased comfort and a low bike weight. A Shimano GRX drivetrain with two chainrings and eleven sprockets has been fitted. This means that nothing stands in the way of sporty tours, including climbs. Cube has also equipped this bike with a hydraulic disc brake. The bike rolls on 40 millimetre wide Schwalbe G-One Allround tyres and offers sufficient space and mounting points for mudguards. This quickly turns the sports bike into a fully-fledged commuter.
- Frame sizes: XS (50 cm), S (53 cm), M (56 cm), L (58 cm), XL (61 cm)
- Weight: 9.3 kilogrammes

Cube Nulane Race FE - Simple and chic companion for everyday use
Another Nulane from the Cube bike range for 2023 is the Nulane Race FE. Cube promises a clear design, speed and easy handling with this everyday bike. In contrast to the bike described above, the frame is made of aluminium and is combined with a carbon fork. However, the gear group is the same, as the 2x11-speed Shimano GRX gear system is also used on the Nulane Race FE. However, the hydraulic disc brakes on the Race FE are from Tektro and not Shimano. The bike is completed with a full range of accessories, including mudguards, pannier rack, lights and rear kickstand.
