Equipped with Newmen Performance 30 wheels shod with Schwalbe Marathon Efficiency tyres, it'll keep rolling whether you're tackling potholed city streets or dusty country lanes. The adjustable stem, parallelogram suspension seatpost and Fox 34 AWL Float suspension fork are all there in the name of comfort. The Integrated Carrier 3.0 is a tough, elegant and versatile way for you to carry what you need, and there's a full complement of included accessories, too. Last but not least, the 800Wh battery ensures there's enough juice to keep feeding the Bosch CX drive and its up to 120Nm of pedal assistance, and the Kiox 500 display puts you in full control.Frame descriptionThe CUBE Kathmandu Hybrid's design is classically elegant – familiar, even – but it's stuffed full of innovation and clever touches. The neatly housed Bosch CX drive and 800Wh PowerTube battery are just the start. Efficient Comfort Geometry is designed around a 100mm travel suspension fork, for better control even when the going gets rough. Internal Cable Routing complements the frame's clean lines, while a UDH dropout is tough, versatile and future-proof. And, of course, there's an integrated chain guard mount and our rugged, sturdy and exceptionally neat Integrated Carrier 3.0, so you can carry everything you need for your adventures.
Have bike, will travel. The Kathmandu ONE's understated simplicity belies its ruggedness and adaptability. Take a closer look, and you'll spot the sturdy, versatile Integrated Carrier 3.0 – the ideal base for carrying whatever you need. Full-length ACID mudguards, front and rear lights and a flat mount kickstand are all included. Shimano's easy-to-use 2x9 Cues gears put the right ratio at your fingertips, and strong Shimano hydraulic disc brakes ensure you can stop safely in any weather. There's a Suntour suspension fork to help smooth even rough roads, and the Schwalbe Green Marathon tyres use recycled rubber in their construction to reduce their environmental impact. Where will it take you next?Frame descriptionIf ever there was a bike frame to prove that form and function can co-exist, the Kathmandu is it. Extra-smooth welding creates joints between the High Performance Aluminium tubes that are so flawless, one tube flows almost organically into the next – and Internal Cable Routing complements the clean aesthetic. But it's not just about looks. Our sturdy Integrated Carrier 3.0 works seamlessly with the ACID mudguard, which also incorporates a rear light to accompany the included front light and mudguard. The UDH gear hanger is strong and future-proof, whilst the flat mount kickstand means you'll never struggle to find somewhere to park. And we even fitted extra mounting points on the frame, to make it easier to add extra bags, accessories and water bottles. Because you never know what you might need...
