Cube Nuroad C62

[Pupp]

Want to pension off a trusty old ally Cross Race for a carbon Nu Road… anyone got one and what do you think of it if so?

Looking specifically at the completely misnamed ‘Race’ model, as it comes with decent wheels and a 2x GRX set up, which seems pretty rare in the sector.

If anyone has one in a L(58) and would be able to measure a couple of dimensions for me, that would be stellar (long shot I know)

I don't know exactly which dimensions you are after, but you can see them for all sizes here:

I happen to know because I was looking at this bike last year

Thanks. Had seen the official Cube tables and diagrams.

The one I’m wanting to verify is the BB to top of seat tube length. My current cross race is a 59 large and, on it, this length is much longer than the 514mm the Cube data shows.

I need 775 mm between saddle rail and BB centre so am presently unsure the 58 in the Nuroad will support that.

The 61 XL is too large in terms of reach etc and I prefer to tun the most compact frame so can do am happy with Seat post being well extended.

The answer is obviously to try one but Leeds or Lake District is closest with stock, so a 300+ mile round trip

I was hoping the Cube dats was somehow in error; doubtful though that is…

Anyway, appreciate the response.

What did you plump for instead?

Gotcha. I see your point as this measurement can vary a lot and result in too much seatpost exposed...

I was undecided between an endurance road bike or gravel bike, and in the end, after riding a few "gravel" events on a hardtail mountain bike, decided that I could continue to do this and have a more dedicated road bike, and went for a Giant Defy Advanced Pro 2. I've done rides up to 180k on it and it's amazingly comfortable.

Can't be much help but i have last years Attain GTC Race. The frame is a 60cm and the 560mm seat length the website shows is accurate.

I was in a similar situation moving from a decent CF hardtail as i was mainly road riding. After looking at the options an endurance road bike seemed the best option. i kept my old, old MTB for the odd occasion i venture off road, which i haven't done since.

Thanks Both; the Giant looks great!

Bit the bullet and am at Wheelbase in Staveley (Lakes), waiting for it to go through the workshop. I’m still mystified as to how but it does fit despite the Cube data being correct. Excited; nothing quite like a new bike!
