Cube Nuroad C:62 ONE vs Cube Nuroad SLX
Both are gravel bikes at a similar price. Here is what actually separates them.
The short answer
For a typical all-round rider the Cube Nuroad C:62 ONE comes out ahead (81% against 73%). That is not a universal verdict — change the terrain or the priority and the order can flip.
What actually separates them
- Weight
- The Cube Nuroad C:62 ONE is 0.9kg lighter, which you notice on long climbs more than anywhere else.
- Riding position
- The Cube Nuroad SLX sits you more upright (1.51 stack-to-reach against 1.47). The Cube Nuroad C:62 ONE is the more aggressive of the two — quicker if you can hold it, harder work if you cannot.
- Climbing gear
- The Cube Nuroad C:62 ONE has the easier bottom gear (21 gear inches against 23), which matters more than weight on anything genuinely steep.
- Shifting
- Only the Cube Nuroad SLX has electronic shifting. Crisper and lower maintenance, but it needs charging and costs more to replace.
