Kathmandu Hybrid
Origin
The Kathmandu Hybrid has carried Cube's e-touring philosophy since 2018: a fully-equipped trekking bike with a Bosch drivetrain, carbon-option frame, and proper touring accessories all included at the point of sale. The 2024 generation introduced the lightweight Bosch SX motor on select variants — dropping the motor weight to 2.9 kg — giving the C:62 carbon build exceptional all-round weight. A range extender battery option on SX builds extends range to touring distances that would otherwise require overnight charging.
Specifications
- Frame
- C:62 carbon (HPC variant) or aluminium; Efficient Comfort Geometry; internal routing; 12x148 mm thru-axle
- Drivetrain
- Shimano XT 1×12 with Linkglide chain (build-dependent)
- Brakes
- Shimano XT hydraulic disc, 180/180 mm
- Wheels

The verdict
- Fully equipped (lights, rack, fenders) with no additional investment required
- Bosch SX motor option gives exceptional weight savings without sacrificing capability
- Range extender compatibility makes multi-day touring viable
- C:62 carbon variant carries a premium price
- Smaller SX battery (400 Wh) gives shorter range than CX/750 Wh competitors without range extender
- Touring accessories add ~3–4 kg — significant if used for sportier riding
