2020 Cube Stereo Hybrid 160 HPC SL 625 27.5 Electric Mountain Bike

The all-new Stereo Hybrid 160 HPC SL is a bike that redefines what's possible. Building a world-beating enduro bike isn't easy. Building one that combines genuine enduro performance with the ease of use of Bosch's amazing drive system is even harder. Luckily, CUBE's years of experience at the Enduro World Series, as well as building class-leading Bosch e-bikes, helps make the job a tiny bit easier. Cube were able to draw on their extensive hybrid, carbon and full suspension design experience to create a remarkable 160mm travel bike with carbon main frame, progressive suspension kinematics and an aggressive geometry designed specifically for 170mm forks and tough enduro courses, plus seamless Bosch power. The new CUBE Modular Battery System encloses the Bosch power unit in the down tube, hidden behind a shock-, moisture- and dust-proof cover that features a push button for access, as well as a hidden lock. It's not just neat, it also increased the battery's capacity for even greater range out in the mountains. Larger bearings, hidden cable routing, chain guide compatibility and space for a bottle cage mount are just some of the details that set this bike apart. As for the spec, it would have been easy to cut a few corners but that's not the CUBE way. So you'll find a RockShox Deluxe Select+ shock and matching RockShox Lyrik Select fork up front, working together to deliver up to 170mm of boulder-swallowing travel. A remote dropper post opens up new line choices, while Sram's NX Eagle 12-speed transmission ensures you can ride every bit of the link stages. Magura MT Fifty hydraulic disc brakes, combined with big-volume and super-grippy Schwalbe Hans Dampf tyres, give you all the power you need to control your speed on the timed stages. Combined with Bosch's fourth-generation drive unit, it's all the excuse you need to head out into the mountains and smash out some new personal bests.

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 allowed our engineers to create 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. Add a bottle cage mount was even added and it was 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.
