Solution

In aniline or other arylamines, the NH2 group is attached directly to the benzene ring. It results in the unshared electron pair on nitrogen atom to be in conjugation with the benzene ring and thus, making it less available for protonation.
Whereas in cyclohexylamine, the lone pairs on nitrogen are not involved in any such type of conjugation. They are completely available for protonation. Hence, it is a stronger base than aniline.
