The Kathmandu Hybrid C:62 SLT 400X Easy Entry takes the lightweight approach of Cube's carbon Kathmandu platform and combines it with a more accessible frame design. The lowered frame makes getting on and off easier, particularly useful when making frequent stops around town, while retaining the equipment and carrying capacity needed for longer touring.

Cube uses its C:62 carbon and Advanced Twin Mold manufacturing process to balance strength with low weight. Efficient Comfort Geometry is designed around longer rides, creating a comfortable riding position while retaining the predictable handling needed for commuting, leisure riding and touring.

The 400Wh Bosch CompactTube battery is built into the frame structure, keeping it protected from dirt and spray while maintaining the bike's clean appearance. Advanced Internal Cable Routing follows the same approach by keeping cables neatly routed through the frame.

A rigid Cube C:62 carbon fork keeps weight down and provides direct steering. Carbon construction can also help filter some of the vibration generated by rougher roads, while a Boost 15x110mm thru-axle creates a secure wheel connection. Internal routing is provided for compatible lighting cables.

Bosch's Performance Line SX drive unit is a compact system delivering up to 60Nm of torque. Compared with Bosch's full-power drive units, its lower weight complements the carbon chassis and helps the Kathmandu retain more natural handling while still providing useful assistance on climbs and longer journeys.

The Bosch CompactTube battery provides 400Wh of capacity. Rather than prioritising maximum range through a larger and heavier battery, this setup is focused on balancing useful electric assistance with lower overall weight.

A Bosch Kiox 500 display provides easy-to-read ride and assistance information from the handlebar. No separate remote switch is listed in the supplied specification, so one hasn't been assumed here.

Shimano XT Di2 provides electronic 1x12-speed shifting, with an RD-M8260-SGS rear derailleur and SW-M8250-IR shifter. Electronic operation provides quick, consistent gear changes, while the XT 10-51t cassette gives a broad range for flatter roads, steeper climbs and riding with luggage.

An ACID MTB Hybrid carbon crankset with a 38t chainring complements the lightweight build, while a Shimano CN-M6100 chain completes the drivetrain.

Shimano XT M8100 hydraulic disc brakes use 180mm rotors at both ends. They provide progressive braking control for managing speed on descents and when carrying luggage, with dependable performance in changing weather conditions.

Newmen Phase 30 carbon wheels further reduce weight from the build and are tubeless ready. Boost spacing is used front and rear, with 15x110mm and 12x148mm thru-axles providing secure wheel attachment.

The wheels are paired with 50mm Schwalbe G-One Overland tyres. Their generous volume adds cushioning on broken roads and unsurfaced routes, while the mixed-surface tread makes them suitable for journeys that combine tarmac, cycle paths and lighter off-road sections.

A Newmen Advanced carbon seatpost contributes to the lightweight build and can add some compliance over rough surfaces. The Easy Entry version also receives an adjustable Cube Comfort Stem Pro, allowing the handlebar position to be altered to help riders find a comfortable setup.

Cube's Integrated Carrier 3.0 is incorporated neatly into the rear of the frame, creating a sturdy platform for compatible luggage. This keeps the Kathmandu's touring practicality despite the emphasis on reducing weight elsewhere.

The manufacturer also specifies a full complement of accessories, reinforcing the Kathmandu's focus on practical everyday and touring use. Combined with its accessible Easy Entry frame, carbon construction and compact Bosch SX system, it's particularly suited to riders who want a well-equipped e-bike that's easier to get on and off and avoids the heavier feel of many full-power trekking e-bikes.

Occasionally, without notice, manufacturers change product design and/or specifications.
