Summary
The CUBE Stereo Hybrid 160 is a high-performance enduro e-MTB that excels in rough terrain with its premium Bosch drive system and Fox suspension. It offers a comfortable riding position and significant battery capacity, though some reviews note issues with rear suspension performance and motor noise. The bike is praised for its value and integration of the Bosch system but has mixed feedback on its trail performance and geometry.
Premium Bosch drive system and components
High-capacity PowerTube 625 battery
Comfortable pedalling position for long tours
High-quality Fox suspension
Solid trail-taming capability
Poor rear suspension performance
Motor noise
Cumbersome battery removal process

Electric Bike ReviewCUBE integrate the Bosch Performance Line CX motor better than any other manufacturer in the test.
E-Mountainbike MagazineFeaturing an entirely new chassis for 2020 that’s built around the 4th generation Bosch Performance CX engine, the new Stereo Hybrid 160 has taken a dramatic leap forward in terms of geometry, system integration and aesthetics over previous Cube offerings.

Thanks to its new frame, the Cube Stereo Hybrid 160 offers improved handling, better suspension and more range over its predecessor.
Agile and poppy for a big travel e-MTB
Beautifully smooth suspension performance
Powerful and intuitive Bosch motor
750Wh battery allows you to rack up serious vertical
Tough, grippy and well-damped tyres
Mostly impressive spec for the money
FIT4 fork damper is an odd choice
Frame armouring could be refined
Bosch display and controller are vulnerable in a crash
Not tubeless ready
No Small size

The Cube Stereo Hybrid 160 HPC Race 625 is a solid bike that rode quite whether it was climbing steep trails or shredding chunky park laps.
Nimble
Snappy and fun
Lively, plush suspension feel
Climbs tech trails well
Short geo
Linear suspension needs volume reducers
Dated looks

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.

The prize for the longest model name in our big group test goes to the CUBE Stereo Hybrid 160 C:62 SLT 625 27.5 Kiox! As the only eMTB with 27.5” wheels front and rear, it's clearly the outsider in our test field, so is there a good reason for its smaller wheels?
Exemplary integration of the Bosch system
Comfortable pedalling position for long tours
Great paint finish
Trail performance up- and downhill
Poor rear suspension performance

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.
Amazing value for money.
Doesn’t quite have the ride quality to match.

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?
