The CUBE Kathmandu Hybrid C:62 Pro has two gramme-shaving tricks up its sleeve. For starters, there's the C:62 carbon frame and fork, complete with rugged IC 3.0 rear carrier. It's as tough and versatile as it is light and lively to ride. Second, Bosch's lightweight SX motor and 400Wh battery provides up to 60Nm of pedal assistance without needlessly weighing you down. Shimano's reliable 1x11 Cues gears deliver power via 50mm Schwalbe G-One Overland tyres, and there's a powerful set of Shimano hydraulic disc brakes to ensure you can slow and stop safely, whatever the weather. It's all you need for adventures, near or far.<br><br><strong>Frame description</strong><br />A lighter touring bike means you can take more with you, but low weight is no good without strength. That's why, for the CUBE Kathmandu Hybrid C:62, we used our tried-and-tested C:62 carbon to build a frame structure that combines the load-bearing capacity you need with the comfort and ride handling that you'd expect from CUBE. With a UDH derailleur hanger, Advanced Internal Cable Routing and Boost front and rear axles, it's both elegant and easy to live with. The rigid carbon fork is light and responsive, while the IC 3.0 rear carrier is adaptable and offers a sturdy platform for carrying whatever you need to take with you. Add the 400Wh battery, and it's the complete package for lightweight hybrid touring.
