    Cube SUV Race 500 2017 - with nu-vinci hub

    Just pondering Seen one of these .... shop soiled at £1000 less than rrp. The idea of the nu vinci continuously variable shifting with the belt drive kind of appeals to me for tarmac riding on our hilly lanes with the 75nm CX motor and 500w battery. The big advantage appears to be lack of...

    Bosch 400wh frame battery

    Can anyone confirm that active and performance line use the same battery exactly. I feel sure they do. Many are advertised as specifically for active or specifically for performance. Seems to me the only difference is that those advertised as active are grey and the performance anthracite.
