CUBE Bicycle Load Capacity and Category Guide

Understanding System Weight and Load Capacities

This guide details the load capacities and intended use categories for CUBE bicycles for the model year 2026. It is crucial to understand these specifications to ensure safe and optimal use of your bicycle.

The variation of the system weight is caused by the weight restrictions of the installed components.

Status: August 26, 2025

Attention: Please note when using rear stands, mudguards, carrier, and bicycle trailers, the range of use of the model always changes to category 2.

Key Definitions

? Bike Weight: The weight of the bicycle in a medium frame size, including attached accessories. Additional luggage not placed on the carrier is also part of the bike weight. For models with different frame variants (diamond, trapeze, easy-entry), the specified value refers to the diamond frame variant.

? Rider Weight: The weight of the rider with their equipment.

? Maximum Carrier Load: Applies only to bicycles where a carrier has been fitted by a certified dealer. This load is further limited by the use of a trailer. Lowrider payload is a maximum of 10 kg, evenly distributed (left/right). The load on the lowrider has no influence on the maximum luggage carrier load and must be considered separately.

⚖️ Vertical Load: Describes the load acting on the rear axle of the bicycle. The maximum vertical load is 8 kg. The permitted load on the carrier is further limited by the vertical load. Accordingly, the vertical load of the trailer is subtracted from the maximum load of the carrier.

Maximum Trailer Load: 60 kg is the maximum permissible total mass of the trailer including its load, taking into account the specifications for the maximum payload of the trailer manufacturer. The vertical load of the trailer (2-8 kg) has to be subtracted from the carrier load.

➕ Maximum System Weight: The maximum permitted total mass which must never be exceeded.

Bike Categories and Intended Use

The following categories define the intended use for each CUBE bicycle model:

Category 1: Intended use: Commuting and recreational riding under moderate effort.
Category 2: Intended use: Leisure riding and trekking under moderate effort.
Category 3: Intended use: Sport and competition riding with moderate technical demands of the trails.
Category 4: Intended use: Sport and competition riding with very challenging technical demands of the trails.
Category 5: Intended use: Extreme sports.
Category 6: Intended use: Sport and competition riding with high exertion.
Category 0: Intended use: Sport and competition riding with moderate technical demands of the trails.
Category 1 (Secondary): Intended use: Leisure rides with moderate exertion.
Category 1 (Tertiary): Intended use: Leisure riding and trekking under moderate effort.
Category 3 (Secondary): Intended use: Sport and competition riding with moderate technical demands of the trails.
Category 4 (Secondary): Intended use: Sports and competition rides with very challenging technical demands of the trails.
Category 1 (Tertiary): Intended use: Transportation of luggage or children.

System Weight Examples

Example 1: Valid Configuration

A bicycle (? 17 kg) plus a rider (? 100 kg) plus a trailer (? 23 kg) equals a total system weight of 140 kg. This configuration is valid (✔️).

Example 2: Valid Configuration with Carrier and Trailer

A bicycle (? 17 kg) plus a rider (? 75 kg) plus a carrier (? 15 kg) plus a trailer (? 20 kg) equals a total system weight of 140 kg. This configuration is valid (✔️).

Example 3: Invalid - Exceeding Maximum System Weight

A bicycle (? 17 kg) plus a rider (? 75 kg) plus a trailer (? 30 kg) exceeds the maximum system weight of 140 kg. This configuration is invalid (❌).

Note: The maximum system weight must never be exceeded.

Example 4: Invalid - Exceeding Maximum Rider Weight

A bicycle (? 17 kg) plus a rider (? 110 kg) exceeds the maximum rider weight limit and the system weight. This configuration is invalid (❌).

Note: The maximum rider weight must never be exceeded.

Example 5: Invalid - Exceeding Maximum Carrier Load

A bicycle (? 17 kg) plus a carrier (? 70 kg) plus a trailer (? 65 kg) exceeds the maximum system weight. This configuration is invalid (❌).

Note: The maximum carrier load weight must never be exceeded.

Example 6: Trailer Vertical Load Consideration

This example illustrates trailer load and vertical load constraints. It shows a bicycle (? 17 kg) and a trailer with a load of 20 kg (? 20 kg) and a vertical load of 8 kg (? 8 kg). The total system weight is within limits, but the vertical load on the trailer is a critical factor.

Note: The vertical load on the trailer must be subtracted from the load on the carrier.
