The Cube NuRoad Hybrid – The Adventure Starts when the Tarmac Stops

Cube have just launched the all new Cube NuRoad Hybrid. The lightest and and most versatile Gravel eBike they were capable of building. Providing you with all the assistance and battery range to explore new, endless horizons without limit.

Wheelbase are stocking three models of the NuRoad, all built around Bosch’s lightweight Performance SX drive unit. Bosch’s lightest and most compact drive unit, providing all the power the rider would ever need at a minimal weight penalty. The SX drive unit is powered by Bosch’s CompactTube 400 Battery, delivering 400 watt hours at a featherweight 2kg.

The new frame is also PowerMore ready, having the capability to carry a +250Wh battery booster pack, meaning the only limit to you next gravel adventure is now the battery on your GPS!

The Cube NuRoad Hybrid Features:

Bosch CompactTube 400 Battery

Slim, integrated, compact and delivering 400 watt hours at a weight of only around 2 kilos, it’s a real energy powerhouse: The CompactTube 400 with innovative battery cell technology offers the highest energy density of all Bosch eBike batteries. This makes the extra-lightweight battery the ideal choice for a minimalist eGravel bike, such as the NuRoad, maintaining a nimble almost ‘analog’ feel in terms of bike handling characteristics due to it’s lightweight, whilst having the sleek appearance of a conventional bike.

 

 

Bosch Performance SX Drive Unit

With the NuRoad’s Power unit, the Bosch SX, muscle power and electric support work in conjunction and deliver top performance exactly when you need it. Aimed at rider looking for a more engaging and rewarding ride experience, the Performance SX is an excellent option for riders who want to push themselves a little more physically either on short sharp commutes or those looking to ride father and deeper into the backcountry without limitations. The Performance SX motor requires a slightly higher cadence to fully develop its power, but supports you willingly once it gets there.

 

C:62’s carbon Frameset

Each new NuRoad built around Cube’s premium C:62 Carbon Fibre. It really is a case of form meeting function in the elegant shape of the Nuroad Hybrid C:62’s carbon frame. Aesthetically it’s stunning, with a clean profile and organic curves. But Cube 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 real magic is in the carbon construction of the C:62 frame. With slightly less resin and  a denser carbon weave the frame has been optimised for stiffness where it’s required and compliance where it’s needed. SO you can be sure of rock solid power transfer from You legs and the drive unit through the chainstays into the wheel and onto the tarmac. Combined with all the vertical compliance you need in the seat stays and seat post to make those longer adventures a pleasure not a chore.

The carbon monocoque has the Bosch drive system’s control unit 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. It certainly looks like Cube have ticked all the boxes. So which model will it be…
