Cube Hyde Race iridium´n´black

The "Hyde Race iridium'n'black" model from Cube, released in 2021, is an urban bike that stands out thanks to its high-quality components and low weight of 12 kg. The frame is made from Superlite Urban Double Butted aluminium, which ensures high stability whilst remaining lightweight.

Braking performance is provided by Shimano BR-MT200 hydraulic disc brakes with 160 mm rotors at the front and rear, which work reliably even in wet conditions. Gear changes are controlled via the Shimano Alfine SL-S7000 shifter, which allows for precise and easy gear selection. The rigid aluminium fork helps to reduce weight and ensures direct steering response.

The bike is fitted with VP 615M pedals and features a Gates S150 CDN crankset with 46 teeth and a length of 170 mm. The rear sprocket has 22 teeth, and power is transmitted via a Gates CDN belt with 113 teeth, ensuring low-maintenance and clean power transmission.

The handlebars – a CUBE Flat Race Bar with a width of 660 mm – and the Natural Fit All Terrain grips offer a comfortable and ergonomic hand position. The stem is a CUBE Performance Stem Pro with a diameter of 31.8 mm. The semi-integrated CUBE H863 headset ensures stable steering.

The Hyde Race’s rims are CUBE UX24 with 32 spokes, designed for disc brakes. The tyres are CUBE Spicer Active, size 40-622, which provide good grip and comfort on urban roads. The front hub is a Shimano Deore HB-M6000 with a quick-release mechanism and Centre Lock mount, whilst the rear hub is a Shimano Alfine SG-S700 with 8 speeds.

The Selle Royal Prestige saddle and the CUBE Performance seatpost, with a diameter of 27.2 mm, offer comfort even on longer rides. The saddle is secured using a CUBE Screwlock with a diameter of 31.8 mm, ensuring the saddle is held securely in place.

Priced at 1049 EUR, the Cube Hyde Race iridium’n’black offers excellent value for money for a high-quality urban bike that impresses with its spec and build quality.
