2019 Cube Sting Hybrid 140 SL 500 Kiox 27.5 Womens Electric Bike

If you like riding adventurous terrain with views to match, you'll want the Sting Hybrid 140 SL. Cube's all-mountain Bosch e-bike is designed with mountain-taming performance in mind, and is tailored specifically for women. With its elegantly proportioned frame, smooth and reliable Bosch CX drive system and top notch component selection, it's the perfect choice for big days out in big country. The wide ranging Shimano XT 11 speed transmission puts every climb within reach, while powerful XT hyrdaulic disc brakes with 4 piston front calipers help you tame the descents. A Fox 34 Rhythm fork and Float DPS EVOL shock work in tandem, serving up 140mm of trail-smoothing travel front and rear. Schwalbe's comfortable, grippy 2.6in tyres hook up tenaciously, giving you the control you need to take your mountain biking to the next level.

There are lots of things you'll love about the Sting Hybrid 140 SL, from the confidence-inspiring handling - thanks to Cube's Agile Trail Geometry - to the sleek looks and low maintenance internal cable routing. Don't be deceived by its clean lines, though; incredible attention to detail lurks wherever you look. Take, for example, the one piece, gravity cast down tube. Housing both the battery and Bosch CX drive unit under splash and dust-resistant covers, this masterpiece of engineering has several neat tricks up its sleeve. First, you can charge the battery without removing it - but separating it from the frame is also incredibly quick and easy. Second, it provides the super-rigid backbone joining the tapered head tube at the front to the Boost axle at the rear, for incredibly accurate steering and safe, predictable handling. Finally, it allowed room to add a bottle cage mount, so you can carry more fluids with you on longer rides. All of which goes to prove that beauty really is more than skin deep.
