Cube Nuroad One 2027: Gravel bike priced at 799 euros features a premium frame

Editor’s conclusion

For gravel newcomers on a tight budget, the Cube Nuroad One Great value for money. The new frame looks the part and offers features that are rarely seen in this price range. However, more ambitious cyclists should be prepared to spend a little more for a lighter bike. The affordable Nuroad One is particularly appealing in the fully-equipped FE version for commuting.

Cube is revamping its gravel bike range for the 2027 model year. The entry-level model, the Nuroad One, is particularly interesting: It costs a mere 799 euros, but is set to benefit from a higher-quality aluminium frame in future. This could enable Cube to significantly narrow the gap between affordable entry-level gravel bikes and more expensive models.

The 2027 Nuroad range continues to cover a wide range of uses, from everyday riding and commuting to long tours and competitive gravel races. As well as aluminium frames, Cube also offers models featuring its in-house C:62 carbon frame. The Nuroad One remains the affordable entry-level model in the range.

High-quality aluminium frame for the entry-level model

Features that were previously reserved for the higher-end models are now available even in the absolute entry-level range. The weld seams in the head tube area and around the seatpost clamp have been ground smooth. The frame also inherits the integrated seatpost clamp from its more expensive siblings. In the 2026 Cube range, this premium look was previously only available from €1,499. Also new are various mounting points for accessories, for example one on top of and one underneath the top tube.

However, it does not feature the same frame as the more expensive Nuroad models (Pro and above). This is because the One model continues to use quick-release skewers rather than thru-axles on the wheels. The frame was therefore developed specifically for the entry-level model. The axles are also one of the most compelling reasons why ambitious cyclists should consider upgrading to the Nuroad Pro for €1,099, which is fitted with thru-axles.

In 2026, the Nuroad One cost 899 euros; in 2027, it’s down to just 799 euros. However, this comes with a downgrade. The more expensive predecessor already had a carbon fork, whereas the new model has an aluminium fork. The aluminium fork also features mounts for a lowrider luggage rack, making the bike suitable for longer tours and bikepacking trips.

Geometry and tyre clearance

With the Nuroad, Cube traditionally opts for a sporty yet not overly aggressive geometry. This is designed to combine a comfortable riding position with confident handling. For ambitious cyclists, it is crucial that the frame is not only designed for short rides, but can also accommodate luggage, mudguards and wider tyres.

Cube states that the new version has a tyre clearance of up to 50 millimetres. With 45-millimetre-wide tyres – which are also fitted as standard – it should be possible to fit mudguards as well. This combination makes the Nuroad One more versatile than many classic road bikes and budget fitness bikes. Overall, however, the new model has become heavier. Cube states a weight of 12.3 kilos, which is, of course, a lot for serious sporting use. However, you’ll only find significantly lighter bikes in completely different price brackets.

Single-circuit system and hydraulic disc brakes

The bike is fitted with Shimano’s Cues groupset. The drivetrain offers 1x9 gears. The gear range of the 11–46 cassette is perfectly adequate, but the gaps between the gears are quite large. The hydraulic Cues disc brakes provide reliable stopping power. The Schwalbe G-One Comp tyres are supplied in a 45 width.
