Cube has announced a raft of updates to many of its bike platforms, with a keen focus on price.
The entry-level Attain road bike, for example, sees a frame overhaul with tyre clearance raised to 34mm. Prices start from €899 for the alloy model and €2,499 for the carbon version.
The cost-effective theme continues with the updated Nuroad gravel bike, priced from €1,499, while the carbon Reaction C:62 and Phenix C:68X hardtail mountain bikes cost from €2,999 and €5,399 respectively.
Cube has also announced a new carbon-framed Stereo ONE22 full-suspension mountain bike, costing €2,999 for the cheapest model.
Global pricing is still to be confirmed, but let’s dive into what we know so far about each bike.
2025 Cube Attain
The Cube Attain is a perennial favourite value-driven bike at BikeRadar and made the shortlist for our 2024 Bike of the Year budget bike test – scoring 3 stars.
Contributing to this was the relatively narrow tyre clearance, but Cube says the new Attain has capacity for 34mm tyres compared to its predecessor’s 28mm.
The frame has seen a complete overhaul, with carbon (C:62) and alloy (HPA) frames taking design cues from the pro-level Litening bikes.
Cube says the frames are 'semi-aero', with updated integrated routing now entering through the stem, rather than at the frame as before.
The bikes also see a new integrated seatpost clamp design (shifting away from a standard collar clamp) and a carbon fork for each model.
Cube claims its ‘Flex Stay’ design, which sees the seatstays dropped at the seat tube, helps to improve rider comfort.
The alloy-framed Cube Attain HPA is priced from €899 with a Shimano Claris R2000 drivetrain, rising to €1,399 for a Shimano 105 R7100 model.
The carbon Cube Attain C:62, with the same groupset, costs from €1,699, topping out at €2,999 for a model with a Shimano Ultegra Di2 R8100 groupset and Newmen carbon wheels.
Compare the latter to a Canyon Endurace CF 8 Di2 (£3,499 / $3,399 / €3,849) with alloy wheels and you’ll be €850 better off despite Canyon’s direct-to-consumer sales strategy.
2025 Cube Nuroad C:62
The Nuroad C:62 gravel bike has also been updated – tyre clearance is now up to 50mm from the previous model’s 45mm.
At the time of writing, Cube hasn’t shared any further information on how the frameset has changed, but has confirmed the presence of fully integrated cable routing, mudguard and pannier rack mounts, routing for a dynamo hub and the use of a press-fit bottom bracket.
The frame is also UDH-compatible, with the range-topping SRAM Red XPLR AXS-equipped bike priced at €5,999.
This includes the power meter crankset, a Newmen Advanced SL X.R.36 carbon wheelset with carbon spokes and a carbon handlebar.
For comparison, the Trek Checkmate SLR 9 AXS, with a broadly comparable spec, costs £10,000 / $11,999.99 / €10,999. A Red XPLR-equipped Canyon Grail CFR is €8,549.
2025 Cube Reaction C:62 and Phenix C:68X
The Cube Reaction C:62 and Phenix C:68X hardtail XC mountain bikes have also been overhauled, with new designs said to “channel World Cup success”.
The brand claims the frames are designed to be lightweight (although stops short of pinning its colours to figures), with slim stays contributing to this while helping frame compliance.
The Phenix C:68X uses the brand’s top-shelf carbon and sees a new integrated seatpost clamp design introduced, with an adjustable-angle headset to customise handling.
This costs €5,399 for a SRAM X0 Eagle AXS build with a RockShox SID SL Ultimate fork, and €6,999 with SRAM XX SL Eagle AXS Transmission and a Fox 32 SC Float Factory Grip SL fork.
For comparison, Canyon’s top-of-the-range carbon Exceed CF SLX starts at €5,499 for a spec level that is similar to Cube’s C:68X.
Meanwhile, the Reaction C:62 continues to serve as a more accessible entry point to carbon cross-country mountain biking, and costs from €1,499 with a SRAM NX Eagle drivetrain and SR Suntour Raidon 32 Air fork.
Similarly, this compares well against the competition – Canyon’s lower-end carbon Exceed CF starts at €1,599 and features an arguably less sophisticated RockShox Recon RL fork.
2025 Cube Stereo ONE22 C:62
The full-suspension Cube Stereo ONE22 mountain bike (which previously had an HPC-grade carbon frame) has been upgraded with the brand’s C:62-level carbon.
This is intended to reduce weight without compromising the previous bike’s comfort and is said to make the bike “more versatile”.
The bike uses the brand’s ‘Agile Trail Geometry’ layout, although it features an adjustable-angle headset to help augment the handling.
This starts at €2,999 for a Shimano XT M8100 and Fox Float fork and shock build, and tops out at €5,999 with a SRAM XX Eagle Transmission and Fox Float Factory-spec fork and shock.
The alloy framed ‘HPA’ frameset remains as it was, with two models priced at €1,999 and €2,499.
Compared to similarly capable bikes, such as Specialized’s Epic EVO, the carbon variants of the Stereo ONE22 line up well with the American brand's bikes, starting at €5,500 for a similar specification.
