CUBE Kathmandu Hybrid C:62 SLX 400X (2026)

CUBE Kathmandu Hybrid C:62 SLX 400X

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 Details

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.
