Cube reveals 2022 disc-brake only road bike range with updated Agree frame, plus new gravel and cross bikes

New Agree frame saves 10 watts and an additional watt can be saved by adding Cube’s special storage pouch

Cube has updated its Agree road race model with aerodynamic improvements, while also expanding its off-road collection with a new top-end model in its carbon Nuroad gravel series as well as a lighter Cross Race C:68X SLT cyclocross bike with clearly a new groupset Cube don't want you to see... yet.

The German bike brand Cube, originally a mountain bike manufacturer, has fully cemented its place in the road scene with its WorldTour stage-winning Litening C:68X SLT, piloted by the Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert pros.

> Cube Litening C:68X 2020 - aero makeover with disc brakes and integrated bars

Cube has now announced that all its road bikes will be equipped with disc brakes.

Here are the highlights from the new Cube 2022 Road Bike range:

Agree C:62

The Agree C:62 is Cube’s road aero endurance road bike, aimed at those who want to stay comfortable while riding fast. Cube says that the 2022 version of the aero optimised frame saves 10 watts compared to the previous iteration.

> Review: Agree C:62 Pro

A special storage pouch can be mounted to the frame, hanging beneath the top tube, and Cube claims this allows you to save another watt, while also having some handy extra space to carry nutrition or tools.

The top models within the Agree C:62 range, the SL and SLT, also now have fully integrated cable routing.

More info on the SRAM XPLR components, a few hours ahead of the official presentation: https://youtu.be/Bqny47NrGWI

Seems like there is also a suspension fork.

The fork can also be seen on the Canyon site: https://www.canyon.com/de-de/gravel-bikes/adventure/grizl/cf-slx/grizl-c...

Oh well,that's Cube of my list for a new road bike if they only do Mtb brakes on road bikes.

Thankfully many other companies see sense and still make road bikes for those of us with less dependance on fashion.

That new Dura Ace cage is a lot longer than I expected. Really looking forward to that launch.

The image is that of a normal Red eTap AXS. Using images of existing products happens often when a reseller already wants to add an upcoming product to his catalogue.

This one could be more like it: https://www.rennrad-news.de/forum/threads/sram-goes-gravel-neue-xplr-gru...

Think the OP was probably referring to the Shimano-looking group on the red Agree.

I highly suspect the gravel one has the new Sram AXS XPLR rear mech and cassette on it (XPLR = Explore).
