More choice, more innovation promised in CUBE Bikes 2025 range

As the old adage goes, there is something for everyone in CUBE Bikes 2025 line-up, from road bikes and MTB hardtails to full suspension eBikes and a new take on eBike touring.

Refusing to adhere to the “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” philosophy, the R&D boffins at the Waldershof, Bavaria HQ have been hard at work, so said the brand, with a significant evolution of the range for this CUBE Bikes 2025 product launch.

Road

The Attain road series has had a significant update, inspired by the success of the Litening series in the pro peloton. With its sleek C:62 chassis designed for comfort and speed – and the ability to fit mudguards – the Attain C:62 is the ideal club and training bike. On the comfort side, flex stays and a full carbon fork are designed to reduce rider fatigue, even on longer rides or rougher road surfaces – and clearance for tyres up to 34mm translates into plenty of grip and extra cushioning, if needed.

Both the aluminium Attain HPA and the carbon Attain C:62 series feature a semi-aero design with integrated seatpost clamp, stem and cable routing, a full carbon fork and clearance for tyres up to 34mm.

Road range highlight – CUBE Attain C:62 SLT

CUBE has picked out a few highlights from each part of its range, including the Attain C:62 SLT. Combining race bike pace and touring bike comfort it features a C:62® carbon semi-aero frame, full carbon fork and premium components, pitching it as an ultimate endurance machine. Price is £2.999; Attain series prices start at: £1.699 (C:62) and £899 (aluminium).

Gravel

Gravel riders get a new bike too, with the light and well-equipped Nuroad C:62. With its sleek, lightweight C:62 carbon frame and matching fork, it has ample clearance for up to 50mm tyres and is available with a range of premium, gravel-focused components. Sram’s Red XPLR AXS, mounted on Nuroad’s top model, puts a big 1×12 range of gears at the fingertips with precise electronic control and a built-in power meter. Powerful Sram Red AXS hydraulic disc brakes ensure you can always slow and stop safely, whatever the conditions.

MTB

The Reaction C:62 and Phenix C:68X mountain bike hardtails also channel World Cup success into a new breed of minimalist carbon frames. The new bikes combine light weight with marathon comfort and podium-capable pace. With race-proven features like integrated cockpit and cable routing, plus an internal seat clamp, they’re pitched as fast A to B cross-country rides.

CUBE’s evergreen and much-lauded Stereo ONE22 full suspension bike, meanwhile, gets a C:62 carbon upgrade. Sitting alongside the existing aluminium model, the premium carbon version offers legendary comfort and control in a more elegant and versatile package.

E-MTB

The Stereo ONE range of full suspension eBikes has had a complete makeover, with new frame designs and integrated cable routing throughout. The ever-popular Stereo Hybrid ONE22 and Stereo Hybrid ONE44 HPA are available with Allroad specification, complete with the new SIC 2.0 carrier as well as mudguards, lights and a kickstand. The Stereo Hybrid ONE44 HPC features an adjustable angle headset and a 150mm fork, whilst the Stereo Hybrid ONE77 HPC’s super-clean carbon looks and horizontal shock disguise serious potential, CUBE said. With a mullet setup and 170mm of suspension travel front and rear, it offers truly rugged All Mountain performance.

Go-anywhere eBike potential is also on offer from the revised, sleeker-looking Reaction Hybrid models. With a choice of Classic, Trapeze or Easy Entry frame styles, a wide range of sizes and the inclusion of the Semi Integrated Carrier (SIC 2.0) on the Allroad models, there’s something for every rider.

Urban and trekking eBikes

Riders with wanderlust, meanwhile, will appreciate the updated Kathmandu Hybrid. Now with a 100mm suspension fork, integrated cables and CUBE’s sturdy and  neat IC 3.0 carrier, there’s also a Comfort model with hub gears and belt, to boost convenience.

The Supreme Hybrid eBikes for urban riding feature Deluxe models with silent, practically maintenance-free Gates belt drive, while the Comfort models are mounted with gearhub and closed chainguard. The stepless Enviolo City hub gears on the Deluxe Pro are pared-down simplicity. With its semi-integrated carrier, mudguards, kickstand and lighting set, the Supreme Hybrid is equally at home tackling the daily commute or accompanying you on a countryside tour at the weekend.

The brand new Nulane Hybrid extends the appeal of CUBE’s gravel-focused Nuroad series, combining the light weight of Bosch’s SX drive with a proven C:62® carbon frame and fork, versatile components and flat handlebars. City slicker or rural explorer – or both.

The lightweight Bosch SX-powered stars of the current CUBE range – including the AMS Hybrid ONE44, Nuroad Hybrid, Kathmandu Hybrid C:62 and Editor Hybrid, all continue into 2025.

Urban and trekking eBike highlight #3 – CUBE Nulane Hybrid C:62 Race FE

Price: £2.899; Nulane Hybrid series prices start at: £2.699.

And accessories

CUBE’s 2025 range includes, as always, a huge selection of accessories. New for 2025, the X-Connect light integration system for eBikes allows for easy connection of a compatible ACID front light with a pre-installed cable in the frame – just clip on and go. A revised Semi-Integrated Carrier (SIC 2.0) design also features fewer parts and makes it even easier to fit compatible luggage accessories.

No doubt you’ll be able to see a number of those new models at OneWay’s Rotterdam showroom facility.
