The Ultimaker 2 introduced the concept of UltiGCode. The idea of UltiGCode was that you could slice once, and print with different materials which you select on the printer. By default, Cura uses this UltiGCode for the Ultimaker 2, so all material settings such as temperatures are not shown inside Cura because selecting them would conflict with what you select on the printer.
By the time the Ultimaker 2+ came around, Ultimaker had come to the realisation that very different materials really need very different slicing parameters. Not only the speeds you mention, but also eg the use of a raft for some materials. This was no longer something that the printer could fix on the fly, so materials in Cura were reintroduced for the Ultimaker 2+.
Go to the Printers pane of the preferences, and open the Machine Settings window. Once there, change the G-code Flavor to "Reprap (Marlin/Sprinter)". This should instantly give you materials, temperatures, etc (as well as support for printing with USB). Just know that these settings will override what you select on the printer.
In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
We are happy to announce the next evolution in the UltiMaker 3D printer lineup: the UltiMaker Factor 4 industrial-grade 3D printer, designed to take manufacturing to new levels of efficiency and reliability. Factor 4 is an end-to-end 3D printing solution for light industrial applications
