After Cube's success with the "Stereo Hybrid" e-mountain bike fully, it was time for the German bike brand to make these hybrids better. Cube is now launching three Stereos: one with 120 millimetres of travel and a size split, i.e. with 27.5 or 29-inch wheels depending on body size and preferences, an all-mountain e-bike with 140 millimetres of travel and an e-enduro bike with 160 millimetres of travel.
A lot of work has also been done on the look and geometry. By turning the motor upwards by around ten degrees, it now forms a clear, connected line with the down tube. The 500 watt battery also looks a little more integrated.

In order to make the Stereo Hybrid more maneuverable than its predecessors, the chainstays have been shortened by 18 millimetres. The top tube length, on the other hand, has increased slightly for a smoother ride.
The steering angle is 66.3 degrees on the Stereo 160, 67.3 degrees on the 140 and 68.5 degrees on the 120 Stereo Hybrid. The seat angles are pedal-heavy on all platforms and are 74.3 degrees and 74 degrees respectively, in that order.

Compact, balanced and promising fun, the Stereo-Hybrid-160 should delight e-mountain bike fans.

Cube continues to rely on the Bosch motor for the drive. All Stereos are equipped with their CX motor with 75 newton meters of power. In Tour and Sport mode, Cube specifies a range of around 40 to 60 kilometers. However, this also depends on the outside temperature, tire pressure and the rider's performance. A smaller chainring is also installed than is usual with other products. Together with the gear ratio of the motor, this corresponds to a chainring size of 37 teeth and provides better power delivery off-road. Gears are shifted with a Sram-X01.
Another feature is the integrated chain guide, which is also shock-absorbing. As a result, hardly any chain slap should be audible.

Chain guide, power pack and the remote control with Bosch on-board computer that doesn't need any other bells and whistles.

The suspension elements on the top model of the "160 HPA Action Team" stereo hybrid come from Fox. The new Float 36 fork works at the front and the Float X Factory shock with Evol air chamber at the rear. The 22.1 kilogram Stereo-Hybrid 160 is braked by a Magura MT7. This offers sufficient bite and, above all, stability to reliably brake this mass.

What rides must also come to a stop: The Magura MT7 brakes ensure reliable deceleration while the tuned Fox suspension keeps the wheels firmly on the ground.
