New styling and better ergonomics
The update to the Rose Hobo, now called the Hobo Cues, brings a few welcome changes. Choosing the 10-speed Shimano Cues groupset gives a better drivetrain, in line with what urban riders and gravel fans are looking for. On the styling side, the new “Cotton Candy” colour gives the bike a distinctive look. A front rack fitted as standard makes it more practical for everyday journeys.
The change in handlebar width, now 680 mm, adds a touch of agility, ideal for threading through city traffic or along narrow tracks. Thanks to a design focused on comfort and performance, the Hobo Cues keeps the ride enjoyable while adapting to a range of terrain.
Thoughtful kit built for versatility
True to its hybrid character, the Hobo Cues is based on a steel frame paired with a carbon fork, for both sturdiness and responsiveness. The 27.5in wheels combined with 47 mm gravel tyres provide good grip on tarmac as well as on dirt tracks.
With 14 mounting points, the frame and fork offer plenty of options for adapting the bike to individual needs. Whether it is adding mudguards, a bottle cage or other essential accessories, the Hobo Cues is ready to take on everyday demands.

The Hobo Cues positions itself as a complete answer to that urge to get away, while staying practical for everyday use. With its refreshed look and its ergonomic improvements, it is well placed to become a popular choice among urban and adventurous cyclists.
