Cube Nuroad Pro vs Giant Revolt 2
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 Pro comes out ahead (70% against 58%). That is not a universal verdict — change the terrain or the priority and the order can flip.
What actually separates them
- Weight
- The Giant Revolt 2 is 0.2kg lighter, which you notice on long climbs more than anywhere else.
- Riding position
- The Giant Revolt 2 sits you more upright (1.54 stack-to-reach against 1.51). The Cube Nuroad Pro is the more aggressive of the two — quicker if you can hold it, harder work if you cannot.
- Tyre clearance
- The Cube Nuroad Pro takes 50mm tyres against 45mm — the single most common thing buyers wish they had more of.
- Climbing gear
- The Cube Nuroad Pro has the easier bottom gear (22 gear inches against 24), which matters more than weight on anything genuinely steep.
- Mudguards
- Only the Cube Nuroad Pro takes mudguards, which decides whether it can be your winter bike.
