Cube

Kathmandu Pro

The Cube Kathmandu Pro in coal’n’black represents the newest evolution of Cube’s premier trekking platform, refined for the 2025/2026 season. Built for the rider who views a bicycle not just as transport, but as a gateway to long-distance exploration, this model features the state-of-the-art Integrated Carrier 3.0. By welding the luggage rack directly into the frame structure, Cube has created a chassis with exceptional torsional rigidity, ensuring that even when the bike is loaded with heavy touring gear, it handles with the same precision and stability as an unladen machine. The "coal’n’black" finish is a sophisticated, matte-metallic aesthetic that looks purposeful and premium in any environment.
For this latest generation, the Kathmandu Pro prioritizes mechanical resilience and rider ergonomics. It features a high-performance Shimano CUES 2x11 drivetrain, a significant update that utilizes Linkglide technology for smoother shifting and drastically improved wear resistance under heavy loads. The inclusion of an SR Suntour NCX D LO Air fork is a critical comfort feature; unlike traditional coil forks, the air spring allows the suspension to be tuned exactly to the rider’s weight and cargo, providing a plush 63mm of travel that irons out rough gravel roads. It is a complete, expedition-ready package that requires no further upgrades for your next cross-continental journey.
Frameset & Fork

Fork: SR Suntour NCX D LO Air, 63mm, Lockout (Air-spring adjustable).
Seatpost: CUBE Performance Post, 27.2mm.
Saddle: ACID Sequence Pro 160.
Colour: coal´n´black.
Drivetrain & Brakes
Shifters: Shimano CUES SL-U6000, Rapidfire-Plus, 2x11-speed.
Front Derailleur: Shimano CUES FD-U6010, Top-Swing.
Rear Derailleur: Shimano CUES RD-U6020-SGS, 11-Speed.
Brake System: Shimano BR-MT200, Hydr. Disc Brake.
Rotors: Shimano Centerlock, [F]160mm, [R]160mm.

Rear Hub: Shimano FH-QC300-HM, QR, Centerlock.
Tires: Schwalbe Range Cruiser, Active, 47-622 (28" x 1.75").
Key Highlights
Shimano CUES 2x11 Linkglide: The move to the CUES ecosystem is a game-changer for trekking. The sturdier cassette teeth and optimized shift gates provide a drivetrain that is far more durable than traditional systems, specifically designed to handle the high-torque demands of loaded touring.
Integrated Carrier 3.0: This isn't just a rack; it's a structural extension of the frame. It features a sleek, minimalist design that fully supports RILink bags and baskets while keeping the centre of gravity low and the rear end of the bike remarkably stiff.
Air Suspension Customization: The SR Suntour air fork allows you to use a shock pump to set the exact sag and stiffness you need. This is vital for touring bikes, where the weight of the rider and gear can change significantly from trip to trip.
Full Commuter Integration: The Pro model includes a permanent hub-dynamo lighting system (CUBE Shiny 50 Lux / ACID Mudguard Rear Light), full-length mudguards, and a heavy-duty kickstand. It is a turnkey solution for both trans-European tours and the daily commute.
