Description
CUBE HYDE RACE GALACTIC/BLACK XL
The ideal blend of mountain bike-inspired ruggedness with road bike-inspired pace, the Hyde Race is an understated urban traffic-beater. Fast-rolling Schwalbe G-One Allround tyres work with the smooth, ultra-durable Gates CDX belt drive and Shimano Alfine 8-speed hub to get you where you need to be with the minimum of fuss. Powerful Shimano hydraulic disc brakes ensure you're always in control. And the whole lot is light, manoeuvrable and huge fun to ride.
Frame description
Drawing inspiration from our mountain bike hardtails, the Hyde's frame uses double-butted aluminium tubes and fast-rolling 700c wheels for speed and comfort. Neatly integrated luggage carrier and mudguard mounting points make it easy to customise, and the eccentric bottom bracket and split dropout accommodate the low-maintenance belt drive. The sleek rigid fork is the perfect accompaniment, offering crisp, precise steering to match its low weight and understated looks.
Find your size!
Enter your height and inseam below and click on 'Calculate my frame size' to see which size you need. You measure your inseam as follows:
1. Stand barefoot with your heels against the wall. Place your feet about 6 inches apart.
2. Grab a book and place it between your legs, with the short side of the book against the wall. Press the book up against your crotch, mimicking the idea of a bicycle saddle.
3. Measure the length from the top of the book to the floor, the distance you measure is your inseam.
