Nulane (Flat-bar gravel)

Cube, founded in 1993 in Waldershof, Bavaria by Marcus Puerner, grew from a 50-square-metre corner of his father's furniture factory into one of Europe's largest bike makers, known for packing high-spec parts into aggressively-priced complete bikes. The Nulane arrived in the mid-2020s as the flat-bar sibling to Cube's established drop-bar Nuroad gravel range, aimed at the fast-growing 'fitness / adventure' segment where riders want gravel-bike versatility and tyre clearance but prefer the upright control and familiarity of a flat handlebar. It slots between a hybrid and a proper gravel bike: race-road geometry and 40mm knobblies, but with commuter mounts and a flat cockpit. Cube built the line as a value ladder, from the sub-1000-EUR alloy One up to the sub-10kg carbon C:62 SLX, so the same silhouette covers a first-bike buyer and a weight-conscious enthusiast.
