Weighing 24 kg, the Nature Hybrid EXC 500 Allroad is certainly no lightweight, but its extensive specification justifies this. The Shimano BR-MT200 hydraulic disc brakes (180/180 mm) guarantee reliable braking power in all weather conditions. The Shimano Deore RD-M5120-SGS 10-speed derailleur, combined with the Shimano Deore Rapidfire Plus SL-M4100 shifter, enables precise and rapid gear changes.

The SR Suntour XCR32 LO-R Air fork, with 100 mm of travel and a lockout function, provides additional comfort and control on uneven terrain. Lighting is provided by the CUBE Shiny 50 Lux front headlight and the ACID Mudguard Rear Light PRO-E rear light, both operating at 12V DC.

The bike is fitted with ACID PP trekking pedals, an ACID E-Crank crankset (38T, 175 mm) and a Shimano Deore cassette (11-46T). Power is transmitted via a KMC X10 chain. The CUBE Comfort Trail Bar handlebars (700 mm) and Natural Fit All Terrain grips ensure a comfortable ride. The stem is a CUBE Performance Stem Pro with a diameter of 31.8 mm.

Steering is provided by the ACROS AZF-1039 headset, whilst the CUBE EX23 rims (36H, tubeless-ready), combined with Schwalbe Land Cruiser tyres (55-622), ensure a stable ride. The hubs are by Shimano: VR HB-TX505 and HR FH-TX505, both with QR and Centre Lock.

The Natural Fit Sequence Comfort saddle and the CUBE Suspension Seatpost HD (30.9 mm) offer additional comfort on longer rides. The saddle is clamped using the CUBE Varioclose (34.9 mm). Mudguards from ACID 65 and a CUBEstand Cmpt kickstand complete the spec.

The e-bike is powered by a Bosch Drive Unit Performance Generation 3 motor with 65 Nm of torque and an output of 250 watts. The Bosch PowerTube 500 battery provides sufficient power for long rides, whilst the Bosch Purion display allows for simple and intuitive control.
