The 7 commuter gravel bikes in the test
The Cube Nuroad Race FE
With the Nuroad is Cube has become a veritable bestseller. Hardly any other randonneur is seen so often on the road, in the city and in the countryside. What's more, this well-made bike offers almost sensational value for money. The modern aluminium frame and the matching carbon fork provide a laterally rigid, solid framework for the universal GRX drivetrain and powerful discs from the same series.
Seating position, riding feel and equipment
The riding position is moderately sporty. The seat is not too long or low, but it is aerodynamically favourable and still keeps a good view of the lively traffic.
The knobbly G-One tyres roll fast and smoothly, cushion well and provide sufficient grip even on loose surfaces. The Cube Nuroad can handle tarmac as well as gravel roads. The reduced, in-house pannier rack is easy to ride with two bags and is surprisingly stable: the Cube carried our 22-kilo test load without complaint. The lightweight, in-house plastic mudguards offer good protection against moisture, while a sturdy rear kickstand, bright daytime running lights and a Knog bell make it suitable for everyday use.
Advantages and disadvantages
- Plus: Very versatile sports bike; clever details; good components
