Cube Nuroad C:62 SLX

Gravel Bike Cube Nuroad C:62 SLX

Nuroad C:62 SLX – the back road and gravel track carbon express par excellence

The Nuroad C:62 frame takes everything we know about carbon frames and repackages it in a format that's perfect for gravel racing. There's ample frame clearance for tyres up to 50mm, so you can easily change tyres to suit your needs. An integrated seat clamp, fully-integrated cable routing complement the frame's elegant, organic appearance, and the C:62® carbon fork has two carrier mounting positions. And the overall weight for all this? Just 1,150g for a mid-sized frame. So it's tough, but also extremely light. The ideal basis for a new approach to gravel racing.

There's exceptional CUBE design detail in the Nuroad C:62 SLX's C:62® carbon frame and fork, but you've probably already noticed the Zipp 303 XPLR S wheels... so let's talk about those. Gravel-specific and with a deep rim designed to provide a measurable aero advantage at typical race speeds, we shod them with Schwalbe's fast-rolling 45mm G-One RX Pro tyres and added Sram's Force AXS hydraulic disc brakes. Rugged, reliable shifting is served up by Sram's GX Eagle 1x12 Transmission, and there's a Sram Force crankset with built-in power meter so that you can keep an eye on your performance. Let's ride...

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• INTEGRATED SEATPOST CLAMP - Our Integrated Seatpost Clamp is all part of our quest to sweat the details, so that you can reap the rewards. Its minimalist design suits the frame's pared-back aesthetic. And, of course, that's important – because why wouldn't you want your bike to look great? But it also saves a few grammes too. And that matters just as much…
• 3RD BOTTLE CAGE MOUNT - Because the Nuroad C:62 is built for adventure, we added a third bottle cage mount under the down tube. Use it for carrying tools and a spare inner tube, or carry another water bottle – the choice is yours. Either way, you're all set for extended exploring.
