1/13/2024 0 Comments Cube pro reviews![]() The 12-speed drivetrain and the four-piston brakes with 200 mm rotors come from the Shimano XT group. Cube also relies on Fox for the seatpost and uses the Transfer Factory Dropper with 150 mm travel in sizes M and L, and 175 mm in XL. The new FOX FLOAT X Factory shock is used as the rear shock. Instead of the more tunable Grip 2 cartridge, however, it only has the simpler FIT4 cartridge. ![]() The suspension comes from FOX, with a FOX 38 Factory fork with 170 mm travel at the front. The new Cube Stereo Hybrid 160 HPC Actionteam is priced below the top model HPC SLT at € 6,399. The specs of the Cube Stereo Hybrid 160 HPC Actionteam 750 According to Cube, the Stereo Hybrid 160 should have more progression in the rear suspension. Cube use droppers with only 150 mm travel in sizes M and L, and 175 mm in XL and larger. The seat tube, on the other hand, has been shortened by 10 mm in size L and by as much as 30 mm in XL, but unfortunately, not to the benefit of the insertion depth. While the predecessor had a compact frame for its intended use as a downhill rig, the 2022 model is larger overall and now has significantly more reach, higher stack and longer wheelbase. The rear suspension has become more progressive and the geometry has also been revised. Cube took this as an opportunity to address our criticisms of the predecessor. With the new Bosch Performance Line CX Smart System, a frame redesign was due anyway to accommodate the longer 750 Wh battery. We had the predecessor in our big eMTB comparison test, but it failed to convince us with its trail performance. In frame size S it remains unchanged from last year’s model and comes with the Bosch Performance Line CX motor without the Smart System and with the shorter 625 Wh battery for € 6,199. It will be launched in sizes M to XL and cost € 6,399. By staying faithful to the small wheels, Cube want to create an agile and playful character of the Stereo Hybrid 160. It has a carbon main frame and an aluminium rear triangle with 170 mm travel at the front and 160 mm at the rear and still rolls on 27.5″ wheels. The Cube Stereo Hybrid 160 HPC Actionteam 750 is intended to take on the role of the most potent eMTB in the Cube portfolio for demanding descents and difficult terrain.

An inconspicuous detail: from model year 2022, Cube will rely on the widely used UDH derailleur hanger from SRAM. This makes it easy to mount the chain on the chainring. The chain guide swivels up for easy servicing of the chain. Riders on smaller frame sizes still have to make do with the old Bosch system and 625 Wh battery.įarewell, spoke magnet! For the 2022 models, the speed sensor magnet is attached exclusively to the rotor. However, it is only available in the new Cube ebikes from size M upwards. The new 750 Wh battery is an integral part of the new Bosch Smart System. In return, however, you have to do without the other innovations on the frame and motor integration of the Cube 2022 models. If you went along with a battery capacity of 625 Wh, you will get a noticeably lighter eMTB that also costs € 200 less than the new models with the new Bosch Smart System and 750 Wh battery. This is not necessarily a disadvantage, as smaller riders usually also weigh less and can achieve comparable ranges with less battery power. Cube will continue to install the shorter 625 Wh battery in them, together with the familiar handlebar remotes and Bosch displays such as the Purion or the first-generation Kiox display. The XS and S frame sizes have to do without the new Bosch system because of limited space and therefore remain unchanged from the 2021 models. The new Bosch system is only available in combination with a 750 Wh battery and is not backwards compatible with the previous 625 Wh battery. Not all new Cube eMTBs get the new Bosch Performance Line CX Smart System. No Bosch Smart System for smaller ebikers ![]() This means that both the Reaction Hybrid hardtail and the three full suspension bikes, Stereo Hybrid 120, Stereo Hybrid 140 and Stereo Hybrid 160, have been revised to fit the new motor system. All Cube ebikes will be equipped with the new Bosch Performance Line CX Smart System. We have collected all the information on the Cube ebikes for you.Ĭube have quite a number of innovations on the agenda for 2022. Cube are revamping its ebike portfolio and giving the Reaction Hybrid, Stereo Hybrid 120, 140 and 160 eMTBs the new Bosch Performance Line CX Smart System update and the new 750 Wh battery.
