This is what happens when you blend the low weight and lively handling of a road bike - complete with full carbon fork - with the practicality of a tourer and the Shimano GRX 2 x 11 gears of a gravel bike. The result? The Nulane Race is quick, comfortable, and almost endlessly versatile. For town, for country, for work, for fun.
You don't need a race bike to get to your destination quickly, comfortably and in some style. Meet the Nulane Race - light, sleek and almost infinitely adaptable. Shimano's GRX 2 x 11 transmission puts a huge range of hill-flattening gears at your fingertips. Smooth, strong Tektro flat mount hydraulic disc brakes ensure you're always in full control. The full carbon fork filters out road buzz for a comfortable ride. And a full set of rack and guard mounts gives you options for equipping your bike just the way you like it.
Versatile can be fast, and fast can be versatile, too. That's why, with the Nulane frame, we added mounting points for easy mudguard and carrier upgrades. There are even lowrider rack points on the full carbon fork, so it's practical as well as comfortable. Superlite double-butted aluminium frame tubes keep the weight down. We added flat mount disc attachment points for sleek looks and the best stopping performance. And finished off with thru axles front and rear to ensure safe and predictable handling, laden or unladen.
Features
Cube's Aluminium Superlite starts with heat-treated 6061 aluminium, which has the qualities - high fatigue resistance, good stiffness, low weight and excellent strength - that are important for a bicycle frame. Then we make it into double butted tubes, to reduce weight without sacrificing any of its strength. The result? Exceptionally light, strong and tough frames.
A gravel bike is a supremely versatile beast, which is why all our gravel models have a fender and rack option. With generous frame clearances to fit comfortable, safe and grippy tyres even with full length mudguards, we also neatly integrated the rear rack into the mudguard design - and included a rear light, too.
Combining everything we know about building great-riding off-road bikes, Gravel Comfort Geometry is the secret ingredient that makes our gravel series such a blast to ride. Nimble enough to mix it up in the rough, stable enough for reassuring descents and with comfort for the long haul, we've got it all covered.
