Cube Nuroad Race

The Nuroad Race blends road-bike efficiency with the versatility needed for gravel. Shimano GRX 2x12 gearing and hydraulic brakes, 45mm Schwalbe tyres and plenty of mounting points make it well suited to fast gravel rides and longer adventures.Key Features:6061 Superlite aluminium frame with internal routing and clearance for 50mm tyresCube C:62 carbon fork with mudguard and lowrider mountsShimano GRX 2x12-speed drivetrain with 48/31t chainset and 11-36t cassetteShimano GRX BR-RX410 hydraulic disc brakes with 160mm rotorsNewmen Performance X.R.25 tubeless-ready gravel wheels45mm Schwalbe G-One R tyres with gravel tread for mixed surfacesFrame and fork mounts provide options for mudguards, racks and luggageAvailable with 0% APR financeThe Nuroad Race combines an aluminium frame with a full carbon fork and gravel-specific Shimano components, creating a versatile platform for everything from quicker mixed-surface rides to longer days exploring. At 10.4kg, it balances a practical, durable build with a relatively low overall weight.The frame is made from 6061 T6 aluminium using Cube's Superlite construction. Its clean tube profiles are complemented by an integrated seatpost clamp and internal cable routing, keeping cables largely protected and out of sight.There's clearance for tyres up to 50mm, giving you room to increase tyre volume if you want additional cushioning and grip on rougher routes. The frame also includes mounting points for mudguards and a rear rack, so the bike can be adapted for commuting, touring or carrying luggage.Up front, Cube's C:62 carbon fork helps keep weight down while providing some vibration damping over rough roads and gravel. Mudguard and lowrider mounts add further luggage-carrying options, while internal routing is provided for a compatible front light cable.Shimano's GRX drivetrain is designed specifically for gravel riding. The Nuroad Race uses a 2x12-speed setup with GRX RX820 front and rear derailleurs, a 48/31t chainset and an 11-36t Shimano cassette. This gives you a broad range while retaining relatively small steps between gears, useful when routes combine faster roads with steeper off-road climbs.Shimano GRX BR-RX410 hydraulic disc brakes are paired with 160mm rotors front and rear. Hydraulic braking provides consistent control with manageable lever effort, while the GRX controls are shaped specifically for drop-bar riding across both paved and rougher surfaces.Newmen Performance X.R.25 wheels use 12mm thru axles and tubeless-ready rims. A compatible tubeless conversion can allow lower tyre pressures for additional grip and comfort, while sealant can help deal with smaller punctures.They're fitted with 45mm Schwalbe G-One R Performance TLR tyres. Their gravel-specific tread balances a relatively fast-rolling centre with additional grip for loose and uneven surfaces, while the generous tyre volume adds cushioning when the route gets rougher.The Cube Gravel Race handlebar uses a gravel-focused shape to provide control and multiple hand positions for longer rides. A 27.2mm Cube Performance seatpost also helps introduce a degree of compliance beneath the saddle.Versatility is a key part of the Nuroad Race. Alongside the rear rack and mudguard options, the carbon fork includes lowrider mounts for carrying additional luggage up front. That means the same bike can be kept relatively streamlined for everyday gravel rides or equipped for commuting, touring and bikepacking.With its GRX 2x12 drivetrain, wide tyre clearance and practical mounting options, the Nuroad Race offers a useful middle ground between a fast gravel bike and a longer-distance all-rounder. It's well suited to riders who want to mix tarmac and gravel without limiting where their route can take them.
