Here it is: the bike that effortlessly blends road bike refinement with gravel ruggedness. The Nuroad Hybrid C:62 EXC's Sram Rival XPLR AXS 1x13 gears deliver a wide range of closely spaced ratios with electronic precision, for perfect cadence in any situation. Bosch's light SX drive and 400Wh battery combination gives up to 60Nm of assistance, and we pre-installed X-Connect so it's easy to add a compatible ACID front light. The elegantly sculpted C:62 carbon frame and fork have attachment points for mudguards and carriers, with more than enough clearance for the Schwalbe 45mm G-One RS Pro tyres that grace the Newmen Performance Gravel 25 wheelset. And strong, progressive Sram Rival AXS hydraulic disc brakes have the power to ensure you're always in full control, whatever the weather or ground conditions. It's the complete package.<br><br><strong>Frame description</strong><br />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.
