Riding position
The Cube Nuroad C:62 Race sits you more upright (1.47 stack-to-reach against 1.45). The BMC URS 01 LT TWO is the more aggressive of the two — quicker if you can hold it, harder work if you cannot.

Climbing gear
The BMC URS 01 LT TWO has the easier bottom gear (20 gear inches against 25), which matters more than weight on anything genuinely steep.
