The Cube Nulane ONE 2027 bike we’re featuring here at Escapa combines the speed of a road bike with the comfort of flat handlebars and the versatility of a touring bike. It’s an ideal choice for getting around town, training on pavement, or exploring trails and paths on the weekend.
Its lightweight Superlite aluminum frame, Shimano Essa 1x8 drivetrain, and Shimano hydraulic brakes come together to form a simple, reliable, and easy-to-maintain package. Plus, its numerous mounting points allow you to install racks, fenders, bags, and other accessories to adapt the bike to any use.
Superlite Aluminum Frame
The frame is made of 6061 T6 Superlite aluminum and features Gravel Comfort geometry designed to provide stability, control, and comfort on a variety of surfaces.
The carefully shaped tubes and smoothed welds create a clean, modern look. The integrated seatpost clamp and semi-internal cable routing round out a functional design that keeps cables protected and reduces visual clutter.
Gravel Comfort Geometry
The Nulane ONE’s geometry strikes a balance between agility and safety. Its positioning allows for efficient pedaling in the city and on the road, while maintaining control when the ride continues on trails, compacted paths, or uneven surfaces. The flat handlebars provide a natural riding position and direct handling, which is especially practical for navigating traffic, tackling sharp turns, or riding on mixed terrain.
Wheel Clearance of Up to 50 mm
The frame accommodates tires up to 50 mm, significantly expanding your setup options. With fenders installed, the maximum tire clearance is reduced to approximately 45 mm.
This generous clearance allows you to choose between fast tires for city and road riding or higher-volume tires with deeper tread patterns for Gravel, trails, and paths. The standard Schwalbe G-One Comp 700x40C tires provide a good balance between speed, grip, and comfort.
Shimano Essa 1x8 Drivetrain
The 8-speed Shimano Essa drivetrain prioritizes simplicity and ease of use. The single-chainring setup eliminates the front derailleur, reduces the number of components, and makes it easier to select the right gear.
The 40-tooth chainring is paired with a Shimano 11-45T cassette, providing a wide gear range for urban commuting, fast trails, and moderate climbs. The Shimano Rapidfire Plus shifter allows for intuitive gear changes right from the handlebars.
Shimano Hydraulic Brakes
The Shimano BL-MT200/UR300 hydraulic disc brakes provide powerful, progressive, and easy-to-control braking. The 180 mm front and rear rotors deliver consistent performance in the city, on trails, and in varying weather conditions.
The hydraulic system requires minimal lever effort and allows for better modulation of braking power, providing safety on descents, at Cruzes, and during unexpected braking situations.
Tubeless-Ready Wheels
The 32-spoke Acid EX25 rims offer a sturdy build for everyday use and mixed-terrain rides. Their Tubeless Ready compatibility allows you to convert the wheels to tubeless using the appropriate tape, valves, and sealant. This setup lets you ride at lower pressure, improving comfort and reducing the risk of pinch flats.
Ready for Everyday Riding and Aventura
The Nulane ONE features multiple mounting points to adapt the bike to different needs:
- Cube SIC 2.1 semi-integrated rear rack.
- Fenders.
- Lowrider front rack.
- Frame bags.
- Multi-tools and accessories under the top tube.
- Water bottle cage and additional gear.
Thanks to this customization capability, it can easily be transformed into a city bike, a touring bike for trips, or an adventure bike for mixed terrain.
