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?

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 …
Excellent value.
Comfortable and composed.
Bosch CX motor runs very well.
Too conservative for aggressive riding.
Needs tubeless valves.

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. Do we even need a short travel bike like the CUBE Stereo 120 HPC TM? Or is that what makes this bike so much fun? NEW: Before […]

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
Powerful motor and plush suspension are great in a straight line
Reinforced rear tyre improves survivability
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

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.

Cube expands its e-bike line with the new Cube Stereo Hybrid 140 HPA Pro 500 27.5. It’s great value for money, but is the ride electrifying?
Superb Bosch motor with four levels of assist, stiff frame, grippy tyres.
Short frame proportions and underwhelming fork. Needs more stopping power.
