City cycle couriers in the '80s and '90s used mountain bikes for a reason. Drawing inspiration from Cube's 29er hardtails, the Hyde's frame uses double-butted aluminium tubes to create a structure that's strong, durable, light and lively. Neatly integrated luggage carrier and mudguard mounting points make it easy to customise, and there's room for two water bottles for longer rides at the weekend. The sleek rigid fork is the perfect accompaniment, offering crisp, precise steering to match its low weight and understated looks.
Two wheels make more sense than four if you want to beat city traffic. That's the inspiration behind the Hyde; a simple, rugged urban all-rounder inspired by Cube's line of 29er mountain bikes. Fast-rolling Schwalbe tyres are well suited to street use, while powerful Shimano hydraulic disc brakes offer huge reserves of stopping power, whatever the weather. The rigid fork helps keep weight down and the steering reassuringly precise. Slick Shimano 3x9 gears give you the range you need to tackle any route.
It's never been more important to find alternative ways around town. Luckily, bikes like the Hyde make it easier than ever. Taking inspiration from Cube's 29er mountain bikes, its combination of rugged simplicity and safe, lively handling makes zipping around the urban jungle a pleasure rather than a chore.
Aluminium Superlite
CUBE's Aluminium Superlite starts with heat-treated 6061 aluminium, which has the qualities that are important for a bicycle frame, including high fatigue resistance, good stiffness, low weight and excellent strength. Then Cube make it into double butted tubes, to reduce weight without sacrificing any of its strength. The result is exceptionally light, strong and tough frames.
Urban Geometry
City streets are the natural home of Cube's urban bikes, so they gave them geometry to match. Nimble for weaving safely through traffic, with ideal weight distribution for great grip and safe braking and cornering, Urban Geometry is precisely what you need to help you navigate the mean streets safely and beat the gridlock.
