2020 Cube Stereo Hybrid 160 HPC 27.5 625 Electric Mountain Bike

Anyone who tells you that pros don't ride e-bikes has got it wrong. The all-new Stereo Hybrid 160 HPC Actionteam is decked out with a full complement of team issue components and race-tested kit, combining the mountain-taming, race-proven ability of Cube's enduro bikes with the smooth power delivery and extended versatility of Bosch's fourth-generation drive system. Wish-list parts include Fox Factory shocks with a Float DPX2 Factory at the rear, combined with a 36 Float Factory fork at the front for buttery smooth, progressive and controllable travel in any riding situation, as well as a Fox Transfer Factory dropper post. There's a Shimano 12-speed transmission with XT derailleur and shifters, offering the widest possible gear range and unmatched reliability. Matching Shimano XT hydraulic disc brakes clamp to 203mm rotors for added cooling and ultimate power and control on even the longest, steepest descents, whilst light and strong Newmen rims wrapped with Schwalbe's Magic Mary and Hans Dampf Super Gravity 2.6in tyres grip tenaciously to the trail. Bosch's smooth, powerful, Kiox-controlled CX drive unit sits in a housing accessed by a single-bolt cover, and the high-capacity power unit for extended range, is housed in the down tube behind a shock-, moisture- and dust-proof cover. Hidden cable routing, chain guide compatibility, oversized bearings and the proven strength and durability of Cube's carbon main frame tested rigorously by an in-house torture testing lab, are the finishing touches that help make the difference. With aggressive geometry designed around 170mm forks and riders who aren't afraid to push their limits, all the bases are covered to build an enduro e-bike that establishes a completely new benchmark for performance. Cube's pros know it and it's available for you to discover, too.

The new Stereo Hybrid 160 HPC, a hybrid enduro bike capable of taking on the world's toughest EWS trails, rewrites the rules, blending the big-hit ability of a dialled big-mountain machine with the ride-anywhere versatility of Bosch's fourth-generation drive system. There's literally no mountain too high, or too steep, for this bike. Key to its success is a brand-new main frame constructed from carbon. The versatility of this material created an entirely new setup known as the Modular Battery System, to house the Bosch power unit entirely within the down tube. Hidden by a double-layer cover with shock protection, push-button access and a hidden lock, the new system has freed up enough space for the Stereo Hybrid 160 HPC to accommodate a larger capacity 625Wh battery, for significantly extended range so you can ride further, higher and faster, confident that you've got the juice to keep going. The trunnion shock mount, big bearings and Boost 148 rear axle of the aluminium rear triangle work with the 1.5in head tube to deliver efficient power transfer and millimetre-perfect steering precision, whilst aggressive geometry gives you the advantage you need to show the trails exactly who's boss. A bottle cage mount has even been added and it has been made to be chain guide compatible, so you can tailor your Stereo Hybrid 160 HPC exactly the way you want it. Enduro is exciting, but Bosch hybrid power takes it to a new level.
