For gravel enthusiasts, Escapa presents the Cube Nuroad C:62 Race 2026 Bike. The Nuroad C:62 frame incorporates everything we know about carbon frames and adapts it to a design perfect for gravel racing. There’s ample clearance in the frame for tires up to 50 mm (45 mm with fenders), so you can easily swap out tires to suit your needs. An integrated seatpost clamp, semi-integrated routing, and a one-piece carbon dropout complement the frame’s sleek, organic look. The C:62® carbon fork features two rack mounting positions, and the frame also accommodates a rear rack and fenders. And the total weight of it all? For a medium-sized frame, just 1,150 g. Sturdy, yet extremely lightweight. The ideal foundation for a new approach to Gravel racing.
A racing bike demands attention to detail, andthe 2026 Cube Nuroad C:62 Racedelivers it in spades. The C:62® carbon frame and fork are sleek and comfortable even over long distances, as you’d expect, but they also feature mounting points for fenders and racks, so no matter how long the Carrera or how tough the conditions, you can set it up just the way you like.
The Shimano GRX Di2 2x12 drivetrain offers an Epic range and precise, on-demand shifting at all times, while the GRX crankset with an integrated power meter provides access to essential performance data. Newmen Advanced SL X.R. 36-spoke wheels with 45 mm Schwalbe G-One RS Pro tires and Shimano GRX hydraulic disc brakes. And to ensure you’re always in control, we’ve fitted a one-piece carbon handlebar. Ella’s definitely ready. Are you?
C:62 Carbon Fiber Technology
Not all carbon is created equal. With our C:62® carbon, we increase the high-modulus fiber content and then reinforce the resulting material with nanoparticles embedded in the resin. Yes, that’s just a fancy way of saying it’s extremely strong, light, and durable.
Advanced Internal Cable Routing
Shift and brake cables need to connect the handlebar controls to the frame, but is it necessary to drill holes near the head tube to achieve this? We came up with a design that routes the cables to the frame through the headset, maintaining a completely internal cable layout while creating a tidier look and making the cables less obtrusive.
Integrated Seatpost
Our integrated seatpost clamp is part of our quest to find the best details so you can reap the rewards of our choices. Its minimalist design complements the frame’s clean aesthetic. This is important because you want a bike that looks good, right? But you also want it to weigh as little as possible. Weight is also a deciding factor.
Optional Low Rider
Sometimes, the adventure gets even better with special gear. That’s where our lowrider rack mounts come in—designed to give you the option of installing a rack on the fork: an excellent way to carry up to 10 kg of extra weight on long trips. Plus, loading some of your luggage onto the front wheel helps improve weight distribution and the bike’s handling. It’s all advantages.
Gravel Endurance Geometry
For epic moments on gravel or in competition, venturing into the countryside and beyond, we’ve designed our Gravel Endurance geometry with you in mind. With a riding position optimized for long days in the saddle and frame angles and dimensions aimed at achieving the perfect balance between agility and stability, it’s everything you need for your off-road adventures.
Fender and Rack Options
A gravel bike is an extraordinarily versatile machine, which is why all our gravel models come with the option for fenders and a rack. With generous frame clearance to accommodate comfortable, safe, and grippy tires even with full-length fenders, we’ve also seamlessly integrated the rear rack into the fender design and included a rear light.
Advanced Twin Mold
With our Advanced Twin Mold process, we use two precision-machined molds for our C:62®, C:68®, and C:68X® carbon frames. The first mold ensures precise alignment. The second, inner mold keeps every individual fiber exactly where it needs to be as the frame cures. The result is a much lighter and stronger frame, with fiber density tailored to the expected loads at specific points.
Third Water Bottle Cage Mount
The Nuroad C:62 is designed for adventure, which is why we’ve added a third bottle cage mount beneath the down tube. Use it to carry tools and a spare inner tube, or another water bottle—it’s up to you. The important thing is that with this bike, you’re all set to explore for longer.
