175 also sounds very long. How tall are you? I’m 190cm and use 172.5 cranks.
Also - your legs are not a fixed quantity for eternity. If you do more work, especially deliberately using lower cadence, hight torque at times, they will get less thin.
cyclezen The bikeradar quote - was that for the model year we’re talking about? Cube were definitely using pressfit BBs on all their road bikes up until 2017.

The OP did say 2018 and said that 9 spd Sora was on t here - so OEM?
As far as I know Sora is only done in 'road' specs - so a confirm of 65mm BSA threaded BB?
even thought the Germans can get 'creative' with config's (some weird concept that they can 'do it better'... LOL! ) I would assume that if the frame is intended as basic/budget setuo, they would use the std config id the bike has a Sora group...
In any case, if there is a sora/shimano spindle crank on there, then replacing with a Shimano spindle crank (for road) seems the easiest/best option....
and care should be taken to NOT get a FSA lower end crank (adventure) which is NOT shimano spindle/BB compatible
