CUBE Stereo Hybrid 160 HPC TM 625 27.5 Review

Oct 2021

Price: $7250.00 | Model Year: 2021 | An enduro electric bike with long travel 170mm front 160mm rear air suspension by Fox. Available in four frame sizes and four parts levels, the TM is CUBE's mid-tier offering. Internal PowerTube 625 battery pack is hidden from view, the weight is kept low and center, the charging port and locking mechanism are well placed.

Observations
  • An enduro electric bike with long travel 170mm front 160mm rear air suspension by Fox. Available in four frame sizes and four parts levels, the TM is CUBE's mid-tier offering. Internal PowerTube 625 battery pack is hidden from view, the weight is kept low and center, the charging port and locking mechanism are well placed.

  • Nimble 2.5" front and 2.4" wide tires offer reduced weight and precise application-specific tread patterns. Premium wheelset, sturdy thru-axles, and Boost hub spacing provide stiffness and strength. Ebike specific SRAM NX 12-speed drivetrain delivers 500% gear ratio for optimal climbs and descents. SRAM NX narrow-wide steel chainring and ethirteen plastic guide prevent drops.

  • Ebike specific quad piston hydraulic disc brakes from Magura are designed to cool fast and function well at high speeds. Unique 203mm floating rotors separate the alloy carrier from the steel rotor, allowing for expansion due to heat. Magura Carbotecture master body reduces weight, piston orientation provides consistent actuation with tool-free adjustable reach levers.

  • Light and compact 4th gen Bosch CX motor delivers an "all in one" eMTB drive mode designed to keep you focused on riding and shifting gears vs. adjusting power settings. The motor controller provides shift detection to reduce chain and sprocket wear. Bosch Kiox display panel provides Micro USB charging, ANT+ wireless for heart rate monitors, and connectivity for the Bosch eBike Connect smartphone app. Drawbacks include high price, non-locking battery cover, charge port positioning, external rear wheel speed sensor.

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?

CUBE Stereo Hybrid 140 HPC in review

Mar 2020 · Felix Stix

High-end componentry at an unbeatable price – CUBE stay true to their mission with the Stereo Hybrid 140 HPC, offering one of the best specs on test. But the best components aren’t a guarantee for the best handling. Is the CUBE Stereo Hybrid 140 HPC as good on the trail as the spec sheet promises?

Highs
  • High quality and well-considered spec

  • Versatile

  • Super agile and easy to control

Lows
  • Undefined action of the dropper remote lever

  • Suspension offers insufficient reserves at high speed

  • Speed sensor with a spoke magnet

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 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

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.
