Cube Nulane Hybrid C:62 Race 400X

E-bike Cube Nulane Hybrid C:62 Race 400X

Borrowing heavily from our experience building light, fast and tough gravel bikes, the Nulane Hybrid C:62's carbon frame's organic curves and clean looks disguise serious intent. There's clearance for tyres up to 50mm, even with mudguards fitted. We added luggage carrier mounting points both for the rear and on the full carbon fork, so you can tackle the weekday commute or a longer tour easily, and X-Connect makes fitting a lighting system easy. The Bosch drive system's control unit is incorporated into the top tube – with a mini handlebar remote – and you can add a 250Wh PowerMore booster battery to the frame for extended range. And, on the technical side, the hidden seat clamp, Direct Mount chain guide, flat mount kickstand interface, Boost rear end and UDH compatibility make this a future-proof bike for all reasons.

It might be the elegant design of the C:62® carbon frame that draws you in, but it'll be the Nulane Hybrid C:62 Race's effortless functionality that'll win you over. The smooth, light Bosch SX motor and 400Wh battery delivers up to 60Nm of pedal assistance. Combined with the simple reliability of Shimano's 1x9 Cues gears and a strong, light Newmen Performance Gravel 25 wheelset, it's everything you need to deliver you to your destination swiftly and in great shape. Powerful Shimano hydraulic disc brakes and grippy Schwalbe tyres help keep you safe in all weathers. There's even a full set of luggage carrier and mudguard mounting points plus a pre-installed X-Connect cable, for a quick and easy upgrade to full weekday commuter or weekend tourer. City slicker or country explorer, it's entirely up to you.

• C:62 CARBON FIBER TECHNOLOGY - Not all carbon is created equal. With our C:62® carbon we increased the high modulus fibre content, then we reinforced the resulting material with nanoparticles incorporated into the bonding resin. Which is all just a fancy way of saying it's extremely strong, light and durable.
• ADVANCED INTERNAL CABLE ROUTING - Gear and brake cables need a way to get from handlebar controls to frame – but what if there was no need for holes near the head tube? We came up with a design that takes cables into the frame via the headset, maintaining full internal cable routing but making it even neater and less obtrusive.
• FIXED INTEGRATED BATTERY - Bosch SX technology incorporates a new, lighter and more configurable battery setup. To make the most of the weight saving, we've integrated the new battery fully into the down tube. This means we can position it optimally for the best weight distribution and handling, as well as saving more weight by building a down tube that's precisely the right size to fit, and without the need for an access hatch. And the Power More option means you can add an additional 250Wh battery quickly and simply, for extra range. It's the best of both worlds.
• GRAVEL ENDURANCE GEOMETRY - For gravel epics – or races – into the back country and beyond, our Gravel Endurance Geometry is designed with you in mind. With a ride position optimised for long days in the saddle and frame angles and dimensions geared towards the perfect balance of agility and stability, it's all you need for off-road adventure.
• ADVANCED TWIN MOLD - With our Advanced Twin Mold process we use two precisely manufactured forms for our C:62®, C:68® and C:68X® carbon frames. The first form is to ensure an accurate layup. The second, inner form keeps every individual fibre precisely where it needs to be while the frame cures. The result is a significantly lighter, stronger frame, with fibre density tailored to anticipated loadings at specific points.
• X-CONNECT - X-Connect is the simple way to attach a compatible ACID light to your CUBE bike. With a connector built into the headset and the wiring hidden in the frame, all that's left to do is attach the light, plug it in... and off you go. See and be seen, the easy way.
