CUBE Kathmandu Hybrid 45 625 Review

May 2021

Price: $4899.00 | Model Year: 2021 | A feature-complete speed pedelec, ideal for ebike commuting or touring. Available in five frame sizes across two frame styles, high-step and mid-step, but only one color scheme. Very wide 10-51 tooth cassette with high end Shimano Deore XT derailleur and shifters. Premium integrated lights with excellent positioning for the headlight, puncture resistant reflective hybrid tires designed specifically for fast riding, and durable plastic fenders improve safety and add utility.

Observations
  • A feature-complete speed pedelec, ideal for ebike commuting or touring. Available in five frame sizes across two frame styles, high-step and mid-step, but only one color scheme. Very wide 10-51 tooth cassette with high end Shimano Deore XT derailleur and shifters. Premium integrated lights with excellent positioning for the headlight, puncture resistant reflective hybrid tires designed specifically for fast riding, and durable plastic fenders improve safety and add utility.

  • Comes standard with the highest capacity Bosch PowerTube 625 battery pack and their faster four amp charger. It's secured to the frame using an ABUS keyed-alike cylinder, which can be matched to additional cable, folding, and u-locks. Premium Magura MT5e hydraulic disc brakes are lightweight, predictable, and incredibly powerful. The large 203mm rotors and radial quad piston calipers are powerful and fast cooling.

  • SR Suntour air suspension fork is highly adjustable, fairly lightweight, and quite beefy for a hybrid electric bike like this. The tapered steer tube, 15mm thru-axle design, and thicker 34mm stanchions are trail capable and well-suited to 45km (28mph) riding. Upgraded Alexrims with reinforcement eyelets, locking ergonomic grips, tool-free adjustable kickstand, minimalist chain cover, comfortflex saddle, and two year comprehensive warranty set this ebike apart.

  • The battery cover does not lock to frame, though the battery itself does. The bike is fairly heavy for a hardtail with an air fork because of the high capacity battery and integrated rear rack. While the display is easy to read, removable, and has a Micro USB charging port built in, it is not compatible with the Bosch wireless smartphone apps like other newer models. The motor is fairly loud and uses energy quickly, the fenders can rattle quite a bit when off-road, no side windows on the headlight, the bike is priced higher than average due to the premium parts.
