It goes where others give up :
Snow , sand or gravel , the CUBE Nutrail brings a whole new riding experience
True freedom has a name : Nutrail . It ' s a bike that holds its line off-road , keeping going where others have long since thrown in the towel . Our Nutrail isn ' t just an on-trend Fatbike - it ' s also a real CUBE bike with lots of detail that extend its versatility beyond conquering snow-covered winter trails . The high quality and reliability of the RockShox Bluto suspension fork ensures great fat tyre riding practically anywhere , from the Sahara to Alaska and everywhere in-between - including your local trails . Fatbike Lite ! The Nutrail ' s frame - elaborately manufactured with advanced hydroforming of the triple butted 7005 HPA aluminium tubes , and incorporating details like a tapered head tube , semiintegrated headset and PressFit bottom bracket shell - is both extremely efficient and precise , but also lightweight . The 197mm X12 rear axle and extra-wide bottom bracket provide excellent clearance for tyres up to 4.5 inch . Thoughtful details include the special cable routing for Sideswing front derailleurs and internal dropper post routing .
It ' s not enough any more for a Fatbike to simply have the largest possible tyre clearance . But that ' s a good thing because , when CUBE created the Nutrail , they didn ' t just want a Fatbike for cruising along snow-covered paths . They also wanted one that ' s fun to ride on technical terrain , so CUBE integrated their best triple butted , hydroformed HPA tubset in the Nutrail . Combined with the tapered head tube , extra-wide PressFit bottom bracket shell and 197mm wide hub spacing , the Nutrail offers fantastic frame stiffness with very low weight . CUBE ’ s proprietary Agile Ride Geometry ensures the same stable-but-lively handling , whether fully loaded on an expedition or just having a blast out on the trails . Naturally , the frame is built for the special cable routing for Sideswing front derailleurs and a stealth dropper post .
Pedal assisted too ! CUBE Nutrail Hybrid !
True freedom can only be experienced when you ' re willing to try something completely new - and the Nutrail Hybrid is the perfect tool for the job .
