The Nulane Hybrid C:62 SLX's elegantly sculpted C:62® carbon frame is just the start. A Newmen Performance Gravel 25 wheelset with Continental Terra Speed 45mm tyres is light, fast-rolling and tough enough for anything from potholed city streets to gravel forestry tracks. Magura MT8 Pro hydraulic disc brakes are as powerful as their name suggests. Sram's Apex XPLR AXS 1x12 gears work with the smooth, quiet Bosch SX drive unit and 400Wh battery to make light work of any route. And, with mounting points for mudguards and luggage racks front and rear – plus an X-Connect cable pre-installed – an upgrade to workhorse commuter or weekend tourer is quick and easy.

Frame

Borrowing heavily from our experience building light, fast and tough gravel bikes, the Nulane Hybrid C:62's carbon frame's organic curves and clean looks disguise serious intent. There's clearance for tyres up to 50mm, even with mudguards fitted. We added luggage carrier mounting points both for the rear and on the full carbon fork, so you can tackle the weekday commute or a longer tour easily, and X-Connect makes fitting a lighting system easy. The Bosch drive system's control unit is incorporated into the top tube – with a mini handlebar remote – and you can add a 250Wh PowerMore booster battery to the frame for extended range. And, on the technical side, the hidden seat clamp, Direct Mount chain guide, flat mount kickstand interface, Boost rear end and UDH compatibility make this a future-proof bike for all reasons.
