Cube Nature graphite´n´black

The 2022 ‘Nature graphite’n’black’ model from Cube is a versatile trekking bike renowned for its high-quality build and well-thought-out features. The frame is made from Superlite aluminium, which, thanks to the Trekking Cross geometry and tapered construction, ensures an optimal balance between stability and lightness. Double-butted technology helps to reduce weight without compromising strength.

Braking performance is provided by Clarks Clout 1 hydraulic disc brakes with 160 mm rotors at both the front and rear, offering reliable stopping power in all weather conditions. The drivetrain consists of a Shimano RD-M360 8-speed rear derailleur, which, in combination with the Shimano SL-M315 Rapidfire-Plus shifter, enables precise and fast gear changes. The front derailleur is a Shimano Tourney FD-TX800 model with a Topswing design and a 31.8 mm clamp.

The SR Suntour NEX HLO suspension fork, with 63 mm of travel and a lockout function, ensures comfort on uneven terrain and enables efficient power transfer on smooth roads. The ACID PP trekking pedals offer a secure grip and are robust enough for everyday use.

The Shimano FC-T801 crankset, with 48x36x26T gears and a length of 175 mm, is fitted with a chain guard to protect clothing from dirt. The Shimano CS-HG31 cassette offers a 11-34T range, providing a wide gear ratio range for varying terrain conditions. Power is transmitted via a KMC Z51 chain.

The CUBE Comfort Trail Bar handlebars, 660 mm wide, combined with Natural Fit All Terrain grips, ensure a comfortable ride. The stem, a CUBE Performance Stem Pro with a diameter of 31.8 mm, and the VP Integrated headset (1 1/8" top, 1 1/2" bottom) contribute to the stability and precision of the steering.

The CUBE ZX20 rims with 32 spokes are robust and designed for use with disc brakes. The Schwalbe Land Cruiser tyres, size 50-622, offer good grip and puncture protection on a variety of surfaces. The hubs are made from lightweight aluminium (front: CUBE Alloy Light, QR, 6-bolt / rear: CUBE Alloy Light, QR, 6-bolt) and contribute to the bike’s overall performance.

The Natural Fit Sequence saddle and the CUBE Performance seatpost, with a diameter of 27.2 mm, ensure comfort on long rides. The saddle is clamped using the CUBE Varioclose clamp with a diameter of 31.8 mm.

The ‘Nature graphite’n’black’ model is available at a price of 679 EUR and offers excellent value for money for anyone looking for a reliable and well-equipped trekking bike.
