Cube Bike Size Guide
Getting the right size matters more than almost anything else. The correct frame size means a comfortable, efficient and safe ride, while the wrong size can leave you cramped or overstretched.
Use the height guide below as a starting point:
| Rider height | Road / gravel (frame) | Mountain / hybrid (frame) |
|---|---|---|
| 5’0″ to 5’4″ (152 to 163 cm) | 47 to 50 cm | XS to S |
| 5’4″ to 5’8″ (163 to 173 cm) | 50 to 54 cm | S to M |
| 5’8″ to 6’0″ (173 to 183 cm) | 54 to 57 cm | M to L |
| 6’0″ to 6’3″ (183 to 191 cm) | 57 to 60 cm | L to XL |
| 6’3″+ (191 cm+) | 60 cm+ | XL+ |
This is a guide, not a rule. Exact sizing varies by model and range, and factors like leg length, riding style and flexibility all play a part. Always check the size chart on the specific product page, and if you are between sizes or unsure, contact the Paul’s Cycles team before you buy. We would rather get it right first time.
Which Cube Bike Should I Buy?
Still deciding? Match your main type of riding to the range below:
