Description
This bike is fitted with the latest generation Bosch Performance CX (Gen5) engine and Bosch PowerTube battery.
The CUBE Kathmandu Hybrid EXC 800 is built to go places. We started with Bosch's CX motor and an 800 Wh PowerTube battery, to give you up to 85 Nm of pedal assistance on your way to work or to adventure. Then we chose Shimano's legendary XT 1x12 gears, for their huge range and dependable performance. Added Shimano XT hydraulic disc brakes, so you know you can always slow and stop safely. And finished with a smooth, comfortable Fox 34 AWL Sport suspension fork. But that's not quite all, because of course there's also an adjustable stem, suspension seatpost and our strong, elegant and versatile Integrated Carrier 3.0, plus a full complement of accessories.
Frame description
The Kathmandu Hybrid's Easy Entry frame is designed to do exactly what it says, making adventurous cycling as accessible and straightforward as possible. The neatly housed Bosch CX drive and 800 Wh PowerTube battery are just the start. Efficient Comfort Geometry is designed around a 100mm travel suspension fork, for better control even when the going gets rough. Integrated cables complement the frame's clean lines and help reduce the need for maintenance, while a UDH dropout is tough, versatile and future-proof. And, of course, there's an integrated chainguard mount and our tough, sturdy and exceptionally neat Integrated Carrier 3.0, so you can carry everything you need for your adventures.
