The "Nuroad Race greyblue’n’orange" model from Cube, released in 2021, is a versatile gravel bike designed for a wide variety of surfaces and conditions. Priced at 1549 EUR, it offers a balanced combination of performance and comfort.
The frame is made from 6061 T6 Superlite aluminium and features Gravel Comfort Geometry, which ensures a comfortable yet sporty riding position. Thanks to the flat-mount disc brakes, options for mudguards and a luggage rack, and the 12x142mm thru-axle, the bike is both robust and versatile. The bike’s total weight is 10 kg, making it a lightweight choice in its category.
Braking performance is provided by the Shimano BR-RX400 hydraulic disc brakes with Flat Mount mounting and 160mm rotors at the front and rear. Shifting is precise thanks to the Shimano GRX RD-RX810 rear derailleur with 11 speeds and the Shimano GRX FD-R810 front derailleur. The crankset is the Shimano GRX FC-RX600 with a 46x30T gear ratio; its length varies depending on frame size: 170mm for sizes 50/53cm, 172.5 mm for 56/58 cm and 175 mm for 61 cm. The cassette is a Shimano 105 CS-HG700 with a range of 11–34T, and the drivetrain is completed by the Shimano CN-HG601-11 chain.
The fork is made of full carbon (CUBE Nuroad Flat Mount Disc) and features a tapered design from 1 1/8" to 1 1/4". It is fitted with mounts for mudguards and a lowrider and uses a 12x100mm thru-axle for added stiffness.
The handlebar assembly consists of the CUBE Gravel Race Bar and the CUBE Performance Stem SL with a diameter of 31.8mm. The headset is a VP Top Zero-Stack 1 1/8" (OD 44mm), integrated into 1 1/4" at the bottom.
Contact with the road is provided by Schwalbe G-One Allround tyres in size 40-622, fitted to a CUBE RA 0.8 CX wheelset. The saddle is the Natural Fit Nuance Lite, mounted on a CUBE Performance Post seatpost with a diameter of 27.2mm. The saddle is clamped in place using the CUBE Nuroad Integrated Seat Clamp.
Overall, the Cube Nuroad Race greyblue’n’orange offers a well-thought-out setup that is suitable for both long tours and sporty off-road rides.
