Cube Stereo Hybrid 160 HPC review - MBR

Dec 2020 · Danny Milner

Dressed in top-of-the-range Fox Factory suspension with Kashima coating there’s no quibbling with the spec of the Cube Stereo Hybrid 160 HPC.

Cube Stereo Hybrid 160 HPC Actionteam 625 27.5 2020 review

May 2020

Cube's snappily named Stereo Hybrid 160 HPC Actionteam 625 27.5 is a full-fat e-MTB that offers up a large battery capacity and latest generation Bosch drive unit mated to a sleek carbon frame with solid trail-taming capability and some great kit for the money. The only real issues were an unexplained rattle from the motor unit and the substantial weight. Buyer's guide: electric mountain bikes - all you need to know about e-bikes Is it worth converting your mountain bike to tubeless?

Tested: Cube Stereo Hybrid 140 Race 500 27.5

May 2019

The Cube Stereo Hybrid 140 Race 500 27.5 has an interminable name, though much easier to ride than pronounce while climbing a steep hill. The Stereo Hybrid uses a finely finished aluminium frame with sharp angles and a robust, industrial presence, 27.5” wheels wrapped in meaty 2.6” Schwalbe tyres, and the excellent Bosch Performance CX …

Highs
  • Excellent value.

  • Comfortable and composed.

  • Bosch CX motor runs very well.

Lows
  • Too conservative for aggressive riding.

  • Needs tubeless valves.

CUBE Stereo Hybrid 120 HPC Review – Big wheels keep on turning

Nov 2018 · Christoph Bayer

eMTBs have turned the bicycle world on its head. Previous definitions of categories have had their day. Efficiency is no longer significantly dependent on suspension travel or weight.

Cube Stereo Hybrid 140 HPA Race 500 e-MTB review

Nov 2017 · Guy Kesteven

Impressively smooth in a straight line, but noise and conservative handling limits confidence. Buy if you want an impressive-looking bike with straight-up power

Highs
  • Powerful motor and plush suspension are great in a straight line

  • Reinforced rear tyre improves survivability

Lows
  • Conservative shape and handling plus 180mm brakes make it a struggle to control its DH-bike-like weight when things get steep, fast and twisty

  • Bosch motor is noisy and blunt in operation, and battery rattle is irritating

CUBE STEREO HYBRID HPA 160 ACTION TEAM 500

Apr 2017 · Sean White

It's about light fast speed with the Cube Stereo. A refinement on one of the first full-suspension e-bike we rode and an evolution which shows real progress.
