Hi everyone, back here with some more questions, I’ve tried and really liked the cube nuroad one, looking online the reviews seem great and the price is amazing too.
So why am I here?
Does any of you have first hand experience with this bike?

I have a nuroad c62 pro 2022 model and I’m very pleased with it. However I’ve changed several parts of it, so the cheap price at first might be irritating. I found the saddle, drop bar pretty bad. Also i changed to carbon wheelset so i ended up spending from initially 2200€ to 3500€ (which is considered still cheap for a very solid full carbon bike).
Do you want to be discouraged? It has a press fit BB, hydraulic brakes are a necessary part on any nice bike, Cube bikes have unusual rear rack mounting points which are incompatible with almost all racks (admittedly the Cube ACID Gravel is my favorite rack in the world), and the quick release hubs are going to make wheel installation slightly annoying every time compared to through-axle. I don’t know if the wheels have sealed bearings but if not then that’s a headache too.
I think the most offensive thing by far is the press fit BB, it’s not hard to find a bike in any price category that has a threaded BB.
Realistically the stock saddle on any bike isn’t going to by chance be the saddle you want, and all bars found on gravel bikes are too wide for humans anyway, so I wouldn’t worry about those on this bike in particular.
