It might be the elegant design of the C:62 carbon frame that draws you in, but it’ll be the Nulane Hybrid C:62 Race’s effortless functionality that’ll win you over. The smooth, light Bosch SX motor and 400Wh battery delivers up to 60Nm of pedal assistance. Combined with the simple reliability of Shimano’s 1×9 Cues gears and a strong, light Newmen Performance Gravel 25 wheelset, it’s everything you need to deliver you to your destination swiftly and in great shape. Powerful Shimano hydraulic disc brakes and grippy Schwalbe tyres help keep you safe in all weathers. There’s even a full set of luggage carrier and mudguard mounting points plus a pre-installed X-Connect cable, for a quick and easy upgrade to full weekday commuter or weekend tourer. City slicker or country explorer, it’s entirely up to you.
Frame description
Borrowing heavily from our experience building light, fast and tough gravel bikes, the Nulane Hybrid C:62’s carbon frame’s organic curves and clean looks disguise serious intent. There’s clearance for tyres up to 50mm, even with mudguards fitted. We added luggage carrier mounting points both for the rear and on the full carbon fork, so you can tackle the weekday commute or a longer tour easily, and X-Connect makes fitting a lighting system easy. The Bosch drive system’s control unit is incorporated into the top tube – with a mini handlebar remote – and you can add a 250Wh PowerMore booster battery to the frame for extended range. And, on the technical side, the hidden seat clamp, Direct Mount chain guide, flat mount kickstand interface, Boost rear end and UDH compatibility make this a future-proof bike for all reasons.
