With all the new gravel bikes, this novelty is in danger of being quickly overlooked: The Upper Palatinate bike manufacturer Cube has developed a flawless cyclocross bike, and at an ambitious level too. Cube is expanding its involvement in cyclocross sport and is now sponsoring the German Team Schamel as well as the Belgian professional team Tormans by Wanty.
Carbon fork and frame, plus internal cables - the bike's professional ambitions are clear to see. Nevertheless, the "Team Edition" differs from the actual professional bikes used in the Cross World Cup in a number of ways: In addition to the 2x 11-speed Shimano gears, this also includes the use of clinchers. The pros, on the other hand, use tubular tyres. The flat top tube, which is designed to make shouldering the bike easier, is comfortable for amateur athletes and professionals alike.
The geometry of the Cube Cross Race C:62 TE largely corresponds to the 2020 model and thus follows the classic rules of a cross bike. In detail, this means a higher bottom bracket to make it easier to jump over obstacles and a steeper steering angle than is known from comfort-orientated gravel bikes, for example.
