Overview
Gravel Bike Cube Nuroad Race
Form meets function meets perfection in the Nuroad's frame. Crafted from High Performance Aluminium with a keen eye on detail, it blends the organic aesthetic of a road race bike with the practical functionality of a tourer. Advanced Internal Cable Routing, an integrated seat clamp and Smooth Welding all contribute to its svelte appearance, whilst the rigid carbon fork adds a dose of vibration-reducing comfort to the mix. But it's super practical, too, with clearance for up to 50mm tyres (45mm with mudguards), compatibility with our SIC 2.0 rear carrier, and host of mounting points for accessories.
Hiding beneath the sleek, organic lines of the Nuroad Race's frame and full carbon fork is a bike with serious intent. There's a clue in the Shimano GRX 2x12 gears, which serve up a huge range of hill-devouring ratios with the dependable durability of equipment built specifically for gravel use. Matching hydraulic disc brakes and grippy Schwalbe G-One R 45mm tyres on Newmen Performance Gravel 25 wheels offer excellent grip and control in any weather – plus there's clearance for up to 50mm tyres. And, with a huge range of frame and fork mounting points for accessories like mudguards and luggage carriers, it's as adaptable as it is rugged.
Technologies
CUBE's Aluminium Superlite starts with heat-treated 6061 aluminium, which has the qualities – high fatigue resistance, good stiffness, low weight and excellent strength – that are important for a bicycle frame. Then we make it into double butted tubes, to reduce weight without sacrificing any of its strength. The result? Exceptionally light, strong and tough frames.
A gravel bike is a supremely versatile beast, which is why all our gravel models have a fender and rack option. With generous frame clearances to fit comfortable, safe and grippy tyres even with full length mudguards, we also neatly integrated the rear rack into the mudguard design – and included a rear light, too.
Combining everything we know about building great-riding off-road bikes, Gravel Comfort Geometry is the secret ingredient that makes our gravel series such a blast to ride. Nimble enough to mix it up in the rough, stable enough for reassuring descents and with comfort for the long haul, we've got it all covered.
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.
Smooth Welding isn't easy, but worthwhile things usually aren't. It has two advantages. First, and most obviously, it looks great: one tube seems to almost flow into the other. Second, and at least as importantly, it helps to minimise load peaks on welded areas for better frame strength and durability.
