The Kathmandu Hybrid SLX from CUBE redefines dependable. With Shimano's 4-piston XT hydraulic disc brakes and electronic XT Di2 1x12 gears taking care of stop-and-go duties, you know you're in good hands. Equipped with Newmen Performance 30 wheels shod with Schwalbe Marathon Efficiency tyres, it'll keep rolling whether you're tackling potholed city streets or dusty country lanes. The adjustable stem, parallelogram suspension seatpost and Fox 34 AWL Float suspension fork are all there in the name of comfort. The Integrated Carrier 3.0 is a tough, elegant and versatile way for you to carry what you need, and there's a full complement of included accessories, too. Last but not least, the 800Wh battery ensures there's enough juice to keep feeding the Bosch CX drive and its up to 120Nm of pedal assistance, and the Kiox 500 display puts you in full control.

Frame

The CUBE Kathmandu Hybrid's design is classically elegant – familiar, even – but it's stuffed full of innovation and clever touches. The neatly housed Bosch CX drive and 800Wh PowerTube battery are just the start. Efficient Comfort Geometry is designed around a 100mm travel suspension fork, for better control even when the going gets rough. Internal Cable Routing complements the frame's clean lines, while a UDH dropout is tough, versatile and future-proof. And, of course, there's an integrated chain guard mount and our rugged, sturdy and exceptionally neat Integrated Carrier 3.0, so you can carry everything you need for your adventures.
