What sets CUBE apart, among other things, is an absolute attention to detail. That's why we equipped the Kathmandu with the integrated IC 3.0 carrier rack, seamlessly blending into our Acid mudguards. Additionally, there is a mount for a flat mount disc brake on the rear wheel and a kickstand. The clean and tidy appearance of the frame is thanks to the Smooth Welding process used for the tube connections. As far as functionality goes, we have equipped the rear end with a thru-axle and opted for a tapered head tube for optimized stability and steering precision (even when fully loaded). And thanks to the internally routed cables in the down tube, the bike smoothly changes gears permanently, and the gearing requires minimal maintenance. We've thought of everything - just the toothbrush, you'll have to pack that yourself.
