2019 Cube Kathmandu Hybrid SL 500 Electric Bike - Black Edition

The Kathmandu Hybrid SL is the best in urban Bosch e-bikes and your perfect companion for any journey around town. Fully equipped for any eventuality, Cube have cut no corners in their quest to build the ultimate road-going e-tourer. Starting with Bosch's powerful CX drive and sleek PowerTube battery, a brand new frame was created that fully encloses both in an elegant structure that's as efficient as it is good-looking. The integrated carrier and included mudguards, chainguard, lights - with integrated 70 lux sidelight, for even better visibility - and kickstand ensure that you've every accessory you need. Shimano's wide-ranging 11 speed XT transmission with Di2 electronic shifting integrates seamlessly with the Bosch control system, for flawless shifting and smooth power delivery time after time. Meanwhile, powerful hydraulic disc brakes - with the extra reassurance of a four piston caliper up front - give you the stopping power to bring you safely to a halt in any weather conditions. The Kathmandu Hybrid SL is ready for anything. All you need to do is ride.

Combining the needs of a load hauler, weekend cruiser and urban commuter into a single machine that works seamlessly with the powerful Bosch e-bike system is no easy task. However Cube's engineers used their experience gained from working on their sleek MTB hybrids and found a way to fully enclose both drive unit and battery within the frame's down tube. This creates the basis for superbly efficient power delivery, keeps the weight low for improved handling and has the added bonus of giving the Kathmandu Hybrid SL incredibly sleek looks. The integrated rack is the latest incarnation of a simple, strong and elegant load-carrying solution, while a tapred head tube helps deliver precise, confidence-inspiring steering. Add internally routed cables for clean looks and reduced maintenance, and you're looking at Cube's best urban e-bike frame to date.
