Cube Nulane Hybrid C:62 Race FE 400X

Cube Nulane Hybrid C:62 Race FE 400X

Borrowing heavily from our experience building light, fast and tough gravel bikes, the Nulane Hybrid C:62 FE's carbon frame's organic curves and clean looks disguise serious intent. There's clearance for tyres up to 50mm, even with the included mudguards. There's a sturdy rear luggage carrier – perfect for commuting or touring – and mounts on the fork to add an optional second carrier. We added a neat lighting set so you can see and be seen, and there's a kickstand too. The Bosch drive system's control unit is incorporated into the top tube – with a mini handlebar remote – and you can add a 250 Wh PowerMore booster battery to the frame for extended range. And, on the technical side, the hidden seat clamp, direct mount chain guide, Boost rear end and UDH compatibility make this a future-proof bike for all reasons.

• 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.
• FULLY EQUIPPED - A bicycle is such a versatile tool. That's why many riders add accessories like a luggage carrier, mudguards, kickstand and lights. But with our Fully Equipped range you don't have to, because we've already taken care of all of that. With carefully selected accessories that match and integrate with each bike, you're all set for any journey from the weekday commute to a longer tour.
• BOOST148 - A wider hub makes a stiffer wheel, and a stiffer wheel means better handling. That's the thinking behind the Boost 148 rear hub standard, which allows wider flange spacing for better wheel performance without impacting on shifting accuracy or drivetrain efficiency. Simply put, you can go faster and harder with better handling and stronger wheels.
• OPTIONAL LOW RIDER - Adventure sometimes demands different kit. That's where our low rider rack mounts come in. Designed to accept an optional fork rack, they're a great way to carry up to 10kg of additional weight for extended tours. Not only that but carrying some of your luggage over the front wheel helps improve weight distribution and handling. Win, win.
• 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.
• UNIVERSAL DERAILLEUR HANGER - One standard for all: gear hanger replacement made easy thanks to the innovative Universal Derailleur Hanger. With a design that includes some room for pivoting to help prevent chain jams, it improves shifting performance and works with all drivetrains. Best of all, it's a standard part that is available anywhere.
• 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.
