Kathmandu Pro / slabgrey'n'chrome

The Cube Kathmandu Pro in Slabgrey ’n’ Chrome is a fully equipped, heavy-duty trekking and touring bike engineered for long-distance bike touring, daily utility commuting, and all-weather riding. Built around Cube’s Aluminium Superlite frame with Trekking Comfort geometry and a seamless Integrated Carrier 3.0 pannier rack, the chassis features internal cable routing, Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH) compatibility, and a sleek "Slabgrey 'n' Chrome" finish. Comfort over rough roads and cobblestones is provided by an SR Suntour NCX32 D LO Air suspension fork with 63mm of travel and lockout capability.

Drivetrain duties are handled by a wide-range 2x10-speed Shimano CUES LinkGlide drivetrain (46/30T crankset paired with an 11-43T cassette) to spin up steep, fully loaded climbs smoothly. Powered by an integrated Shimano hub dynamo, the Kathmandu Pro features full-time front and rear LED lights without needing battery recharging. Rolling on heavy-duty 700x47c Schwalbe Marathon Mondial PRO tires wrapped around tubeless-ready ACID EX25 rims, stopping power is supplied by dependable Shimano hydraulic disc brakes.
