Cube Nuroad Hybrid C:62 Slx 400X 2025

There's a lot more to the Nuroad Hybrid C:62 SLX than its light, tough and beautifully sculpted C:62® carbon frame and full carbon fork. For starters, we fitted Bosch's new lightweight SX drive unit and a 400Wh battery, which together deliver up to 55Nm of torque as well as a significant weight saving. For longer days out the frame is PowerMore-ready for an extra 250Wh of energy – and rack mounts front and rear give you the option of carrying everything you need with you. Sram's GX Eagle Transmission 1x12 gears deliver a huge gear range, exceptional ruggedness and flawless electronic shifting. Powerful Sram Rival AXS hydraulic disc brakes keep your speed in check via light, tough Newmen Evolution SL X.R.25 wheels and grippy, comfortable Schwalbe G-One Bite 45mm tyres. And, even with optional mudguards fitted, there's room to run tyres up to 50mm. Where to next?

Form meets function in the elegant shape of the Nuroad Hybrid C:62's carbon frame. Sure, it's a great looker, with a clean profile and organic curves. But we haven't forgotten practicality, like incorporating clearance for tyres up to 50mm even with mudguards fitted. Or carrier mounting points at the rear and on the full carbon fork, for maximum bikepacking versatility. The Bosch drive system's control unit is incorporated into the top tube, with a mini handlebar remote, and the frame is PowerMore-ready for a +250Wh battery booster pack. The seat clamp is hidden, there's a direct mount lightweight chain guide, a flat mount kickstand interface, Boost rear end and UDH derailleur hanger. We reckon we've ticked all the boxes.
