When only the best will do, it's time to break out Shimano's XT components. Renowned for their ease of use, precision and dependability, the wide-ranging 1x12 Di2 electronic gears and powerful hydraulic disc brakes are the obvious choice for the Kathmandu Hybrid C:62 SLT. Bosch's SX motor with 400Wh battery, compact LED remote and Kiox 500 display delivers up to 60Nm of pedal assistance to help you on your way. Combined with the C:62® carbon frame and fork plus carbon Newmen Phase 30 wheels, the result is a notably svelte grand tourer – and that means one that's easier and more fun to ride. It's just as practical as ever, though, with our super-sturdy Integrated Carrier 3.0 and a full complement of accessories. Across town or across continents, it's got your back.

Frame

A lighter touring bike means you can take more with you, but low weight is no good without strength. That's why, for the CUBE Kathmandu Hybrid C:62, we used our tried-and-tested C:62® carbon to build a frame structure that combines the load-bearing capacity you need with the comfort and ride handling that you'd expect from CUBE. With a UDH derailleur hanger, Advanced Internal Cable Routing and a Boost rear axle, it's both elegant and easy to live with. The Integrated Carrier 3.0 blends neatly into the frame structure and offers a sturdy platform for carrying whatever you need to take with you. Add the 400Wh battery, and it's the complete package for lightweight hybrid touring.
