CUBE HYDE METALGREY/BLACK XL

Two wheels make more sense than four if you want to beat city traffic. That's the inspiration behind the Hyde – our simple, rugged urban all-rounder inspired by our line of 29er mountain bikes. Fast-rolling Schwalbe tyres are well suited to street use, while powerful Shimano hydraulic disc brakes offer huge reserves of stopping power, whatever the weather. The rigid fork helps keep weight down and the steering reassuringly precise. And slick Shimano 3x9 gears give you the range you need to tackle any route.

Frame description
City cycle couriers in the '80s and '90s used mountain bikes for a reason. Drawing inspiration from our 29er hardtails, the Hyde's frame uses double-butted aluminium tubes to create a structure that's strong, durable, light and lively. Neatly integrated luggage carrier and mudguard mounting points make it easy to customise, and there's room for two water bottles for longer rides at the weekend. The sleek rigid fork is the perfect accompaniment, offering crisp, precise steering to match its low weight and understated looks.
