CUBE KATHMANDU HYBRID C:62, Carbon/black

With its advanced C:62 carbon frame and stiff carbon fork, the Kathmandu Hybrid C:62 SLX 400X has the same tough look as its illustrious ancestors, but with a new focus on lower weight. The new Bosch SX motor and Kiox display with 400 Wh battery continue the sleek theme, delivering up to 55 Nm of smooth torque via Shimano's extensive Deore 1x12 gears and robust Newmen Beskar 30 wheels shod with grippy Schwalbe G-One Overland 50 mm tires and ultralight Schwalbe Aerothan tubes. There's a full range of practical accessories, of course, so you'll be prepared for anything, whether traveling around town or overland. And the powerful Shimano Deore hydraulic disc brakes let you slow down and stop safely in all weather conditions. It may be light, but it's no lightweight. KATHMANDU CUBE's iconic Kathmandu series gets a carbon-frame, Bosch SX-powered boost. Kathmandu, nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas, is widely considered the world's premier adventure capital. CUBE's robust, customizable Kathmandu range has always channeled that spirit of discovery. Now, with an elegant new carbon frame and fork, the Kathmandu Hybrid C:62 brings the world even closer. Key to the new range are a pair of lightweight carbon frames - in classic double diamond format, as well as an accessible Easy Entry design - with matching full carbon forks. The lighter frame and fork are made from CUBE's patented C:62 carbon and sacrifice nothing in terms of strength and durability. A lighter touring bike obviously means it's better to ride. But it's not just light. It's also great to look at. The IC 3.0 rear rack features an exceptionally sturdy luggage rack built into the structure of the frame, for an almost organic look that is as practical as it is elegant. And the internal cable routing flatters the frame's clean lines while helping to reduce maintenance. Of course, a touring bike must also be practical, and this is where the Kathmandu Hybrid C:62 really comes into its own. From the future-proof UDH gear suspension to the space for 50 mm tires, the details are all about making it easy to live with. The included full-length fenders, lighting kit and stand are all ready for adventure, and there is room for a handlebar-mounted bag for even more carrying capacity. Complementing the frame's elegant functionality and light weight, Bosch's SX drive system and 400 Wh battery with Kiox display provide natural-feeling support for any rider. With up to 55 Nm of torque - and the option to add a 250 Wh PowerMore range extender - this is the perfect riding partner. Two specification levels are available in the Kathmandu Hybrid C:62 range, each available in a choice of Classic or Easy Entry frame configurations.
