Cube Kathmandu Hybrid C:62 SLX 400X Electric Hybrid Trekking Bike 2026

With its C:62 carbon frame and rigid carbon fork, the Kathmandu Hybrid C:62 SLX has the same rugged appeal as its illustrious forbears, but with a focus on lower weight. The smooth Bosch SX motor and 400Wh battery continue the svelte theme, delivering up to 60Nm of torque via Shimano`s wide-ranging XT 1x12 gears and rugged Newmen Beskar 30 wheels shod with grippy Schwalbe G-One Overland Evo 50mm tyres. There is, of course, a full complement of practical accessories so you`re ready for anything, whether it`s a trip across town or overland. And, with powerful Shimano Deore hydraulic disc brakes, you can slow and stop safely in all weather conditions. It may be light, but it`s no lightweight.

Frame description
A lighter touring bike means you can take more with you, but low weight is no good without strength. That`s why, for the CUBE Kathmandu Hybrid C:62, we used our tried-and-tested C:62 carbon to build a frame structure that combines the load-bearing capacity you need with the comfort and ride handling that you`d expect from CUBE. With a UDH derailleur hanger, Advanced Internal Cable Routing and Boost front and rear axles, it`s both elegant and easy to live with. The rigid carbon fork is light and responsive, while the IC 3.0 rear carrier is adaptable and offers a sturdy platform for carrying whatever you need to take with you. Add the 400Wh battery, and it`s the complete package for lightweight hybrid touring.
