Battle the city with speed and comfort. Whether you're racing to work or trying to beat the coffee queue, there's no better way than to get there in style, comfort and with speed. Drawing inspiration from Cube's mountain bike hardtails, the Hyde's frame uses double-butted aluminium tubes and fast-rolling 700c wheels for speed and comfort. Neatly integrated luggage carrier and mudguard mounting points make it easy to customise, and the eccentric bottom bracket and split dropout accommodate the low-maintenance belt drive. The sleek rigid fork is the perfect accompaniment, offering crisp, precise steering to match its low weight and understated looks.
There's nothing more satisfying than gliding smoothly past urban traffic at a standstill and few bikes do it better than the Hyde Race. Built with the durability of Cube's mountain bikes and the nimble pace of Cube's road race machines, it's the ideal way to speed from A to B across town.
The ideal blend of mountain bike-inspired ruggedness with road bike-inspired pace, the Hyde Race is an understated urban traffic-beater. Fast-rolling Schwalbe G-One Allround tyres work with the smooth, ultra-durable Gates CDX belt drive and Shimano Alfine 8-speed hub to get you where you need to be with the minimum of fuss. Powerful Shimano hydraulic disc brakes ensure you're always in control. The whole lot is light, manoeuvrable and huge fun to ride.
Aluminium Superlite
CUBE's Aluminium Superlite starts with heat-treated 6061 aluminium, which has the qualities that are important for a bicycle frame, including high fatigue resistance, good stiffness, low weight and excellent strength. Then Cube make it into double butted tubes, to reduce weight without sacrificing any of its strength. The result is exceptionally light, strong and tough frames.
Urban Geometry
City streets are the natural home of Cube's urban bikes, so they gave them geometry to match. Nimble for weaving safely through traffic, with ideal weight distribution for great grip and safe braking and cornering, Urban Geometry is precisely what you need to help you navigate the mean streets safely, and beat the gridlock.
Semi Internal Cable Routing
Cables for your gears and brakes are essential, but you don't necessarily want to see them all the time. Cube's semi internal cable routing takes gear and brake cables through the down tube for a cleaner appearance, smoother shifts and reduced maintenance. So your CUBE bike looks good and continues to function as it should, and you just concentrate on enjoying the ride.
