With its C:62® carbon frame and rigid carbon fork, the Kathmandu Hybrid C:62 SLX blends rugged adaptability with lower weight, for a ride difference you can feel. The Bosch SX motor, 400Wh battery and compact LED remote with Kiox 500 display continue the svelte theme, delivering up to 60Nm of torque via Shimano's wide-ranging XT 1x12 gears and rugged Newmen Beskar 30 wheels shod with grippy Schwalbe G-One Overland 50mm tyres. Powerful Shimano XT hydraulic disc brakes mean you can slow and stop safely in all weather conditions. And there is, of course, a full complement of practical accessories so you're ready for anything, whether it's a trip across town or over land. It may be light, but it's no lightweight.

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.
