Cube Nuroad Pro vs Liv Devote 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
- 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.
