The city of Kathmandu is legendary - now there's a bike named after it. Despite the hand-picked components, the light aluminium frame and complete Shimano XT groupset, you'll still have enough money left over for your next world trip. Maybe start and finish in Kathmandu? Hydraulic disc brakes, 30 gears and a superb suspension fork are perfect for smoothing the road on faraway continents, but also just as suitable for day-to-day use.
The basis of our Kathmandu is the double butted aluminium tubeset, carefully joined together during our production process to make an extremely stiff and stable chassis. IC technology integrates the luggage rack directly into the frame, giving a further boost to stability - it'll respond to the rider's inputs without hesitation, even when fully laden. Our Efficient Comfort Geometry gives the best blend of comfort and efficiency for the long haul. And, of course, the Kathmandu also boasts internal cable routing.
It's one highlight after another. The Rock Shox Paragon air suspension fork can be set up precisely according to the rider's needs - thanks to mountain bike suspension technology - and makes even the roughest of surfaces manageable. We've chosen a complete Shimano XT transmission with 30 gears, as well as the matching hydraulic disc brakes. The luggage rack features the SnapIt system and easily replaceable wear items. The Busch & Müller lighting system includes an Eyc T headlamp with sensor control and 40 lux output, a Toplight 323 rear light and takes its power from the Shimano XT hub dynamo. This is a bike for setting out on your own legendary world tour…
With our Advanced Mechanical Forming technology we can mechanically transform different frame tubes and thus optimize them without material-wearing welding work for the respective requirements. Along the obtained organic look, the production method is primarily motivated by functional reasons. Multiple converted tubes enable us to manufacture lighter and also stiffer aluminum frames.
Extremely high tensile strength heat-treated 7005 aluminium alloy is developed for the highest requirements. It is very stiff, fatigue resistant, corrosion resistant and has high elongation. Our Superlite tubes are double butted, giving very light tubesets with a high level of stiffness.
The Easy Mount Kick Stand is a new system developed and designed by CUBE. The base of the stand is mounted from below to a fitting plate integrated to the frame and fixed with a through bolt. This kick stand is extremely stiff and solid through the enlarged contact areas between base and frame which gives a stable stand even with loaded panniers.
With our specially designed Efficient Comfort Geometry, long distances can be covered easily. Trips with the family, tours with friends or a journey of months - explore the world and life in a new way with our travel series geometry.
CUBE Bikes with this labelling fulfill all legal requirements and meet all safety demands according to the StVZO German Road Traffic Licensing Regulations. Lighting systems and reflectors mounted are tested and certified accordingly. These bikes take into account every security-related detail to guarantee safe and relaxed mobility in traffic.
Internally routed cables offer many advantages. Cables are protected from dirt for longer life, weight is saved thanks to the absence of external housing and the bike has a clean, sleek appearance.
The Integrated Multi Carrier is a complete new development by CUBE. The bicycle rack becomes an integral part of the frame, adding to the rigidity of the chassis. Through a specially designed modular construction, the rack is expandable in many ways. Bags, carrying systems and boxes can be mounted easily and safely for secure, convenient load carrying.
On polished, brushed aluminium and all HPC frames, the logos and graphics are applied in multi-layer wet paint. We use this surface treatment technology mainly to save weight.
