Cube Cross Race C:62 Pro 2020 CycloCross Road Bike

Cube Cross Race C:62 Pro Carbon / Green 2020 £1999.00

Got the 'cross racing bug? This is the bike to fuel your passion: the Cross Race C:62 Pro. A sleek, carbon-framed race bike designed to excel in the muddy hell of competitive cyclocross, it's full of clever details to make your life that little bit easier out on the race course. For example, racers love internal cable routing for its ability to keep gear shifts reliably slick through the filthiest of conditions. But what, our engineers wondered, if the cables were routed directly into the head tube? The answer is in front of you: a super-clean look, absolutely no cable rub, lower weight - because the down tube doesn't need to be reinforced to accept cable holes - and shorter cables for less interference with shouldering the bike. Speaking of which, the curved seat stays and top tube junction makes that particular task a little less uncomfortable. And our premium C:62 carbon makes for a light, stiff and nimble chassis that'll be with you for every step and pedal revolution. We even added changeable inserts for a future upgrade to electronic shifting - although you'll love the reliable performance of Shimano's legendary Ultegra groupset. Fulcrum Racing 77 wheels are light and strong, Schwalbe X-One tyres grip tenaciously in the mud and a Newmen Evolution cockpit keeps you firmly in control. It's all designed to help you cut through both the mud and the competition. So don't get cross, get the Cross Race C:62 Pro instead.

Remarks

Light, lighter, lightest. When saving every gramme is the goal, every single detail matters. We knew that choosing our premium C:62 carbon was a good start, but the Cross Race C:62 needed something special to set it apart. The answer came from an unusual direction: our engineering team decided to route cables internally via the head tube, rather than the usual down tube routing. This approach fulfilled two goals. First, it created an incredibly clean look and eliminated any cable rub. And second, it meant we didn't need to reinforce the down tube to the same extent as usual, saving even more weight. Internal cable routing uses custom inserts which can be swapped out easily, so you can run electronic, wireless or traditional cable-actuated gears. Combined with the full carbon fork and race-bred geometry designed for quick, precise handling, the Cross Race C:62 is proof that the devil really is in the detail.
