NO ROAD?
NO PROBLEM!
The Nuroad Rookie's frame is packed with attention to detail. We've crafted High Performance Aluminium into an elegant structure, using Smooth Welding and carefully chosen tube profiles. An integrated seat clamp and Semi-Internal Cable Routing complement the clean aesthetic, and we finished off with a full carbon fork which is both light and comfortable. There's also clearance for 50mm tyres – 45mm with mudguards fitted – and extra mounting points on the top tube for optional accessories like a frame bag or multi-tool, as well as all the usual attachment points for carrier and mudguards. Put it all together, and it's the ideal gravel frame for keen youngsters with adventure running through their veins.
Frame Material Aluminium Superlite
Tire clearance 50mm

Family rides into the unknown don't need to stop when the road ends – the Nuroad Rookie will keep going where other bikes can't thanks to its grippy tyres, rugged design and gravel-oriented components. Perfectly proportioned for young riders, it's the ideal blend of low weight, comfort and versatility.
For those times when the road peters out on a family ride, the Nuroad Rookie will just keep going. With tough, comfortable and grippy 45mm Schwalbe tyres fitted to a pair of ACID disc wheels as standard, it doesn't care whether you're rolling on tarmac or gravel – either way, it has the grip and the comfort to make every ride fun. Shimano Cues hydraulic disc brakes serve up ample stopping power whatever the weather gets up to, and Shimano Cues 1x9 gears have the range to take on any route. It's got adventure in its DNA, so you can feed their curiosity.

Adventure sometimes demands different kit. That's where our low rider rack mounts come in. Designed to accept an optional fork rack, they're a great way to carry up to 10kg of additional weight for extended tours. Not only that but carrying some of your luggage over the front wheel helps improve weight distribution and handling. Win, win.
A gravel bike is a supremely versatile beast, which is why all our gravel models have a fender and rack option. With generous frame clearances to fit comfortable, safe and grippy tyres even with full length mudguards, we also neatly integrated the rear rack into the mudguard design – and included a rear light, too.
Combining everything we know about building great-riding off-road bikes, Gravel Comfort Geometry is the secret ingredient that makes our gravel series such a blast to ride. Nimble enough to mix it up in the rough, stable enough for reassuring descents and with comfort for the long haul, we've got it all covered.
CUBE's Aluminium Superlite starts with heat-treated 6061 aluminium, which has the qualities – high fatigue resistance, good stiffness, low weight and excellent strength – that are important for a bicycle frame. Then we make it into double butted tubes, to reduce weight without sacrificing any of its strength. The result? Exceptionally light, strong and tough frames.
