2018 Cube Stereo 120 HPC SL 500 Electric Mountain Bike - Black/Green

For the brand new Stereo Hybrid 120 SL model Cube took everything they know about building high performance e-MTBs, and combined it with their engineers' experience in carbon frame construction. The result? A uniquely light, sleek and lively hybrid full suspension bike that will redefine your expectations. Using Bosch's in-tube technology to incorporate the battery and motor into the down tube, they were able to reduce weight, improve handling and boost comfort levels even further than before. Combined with a spec sheet that includes a Fox 34 fork with matching shock, plus Shimano's peerless XT gears and brakes for the ultimate in performance and reliability, it makes for a bike that will take you further - and faster - than you thought possible.

There's no doubt that designing a trail-ready carbon full suspension e-MTB is a major challenge, but that's the kind of thing that gets engineers all fired up. With a clean sheet of paper and a brief to improve on everything that they'd done before, they started by building a sleek down tube that fully encases the battery and, with a bash plate, the motor too. Protected from dust, water and rocks, the new setup doesn't just look good, it reduces the bike's centre of gravity too, for greater comfort and livelier handling in all trail conditions. Internal cable routing keeps gears shifting cleanly for longer with minimal maintenance, while the Boost rear end helps improve steering precision no matter how rough the trail. As you'd expect, Cube's renowned Agile Ride Geometry means that this is a bike that rides as good as it looks, with precisely the right blend of agility and stability to keep you coming back for more.
