The ABS is the big news but this Cube e-MTB packs plenty of punch, with a quality spec, carbon frame and eye-catching looks
Outstanding braking with the new Bosch ABS
Powerful 750Wh battery
Climbs with ease with 85Nm of hill-slaying torque
Confidence-inspiring handling with All Mountain Geometry
Excellent user-friendly tuning app
ABS braking takes a bit of getting used to
ABS won't be for everyone
Only one color choice

I get it, ABS is probably great for commuting. So people avoid having the front wheel sliding out when breaking in turns, or avoid going over the handlebars. But on an emtb? Folks like us, who ride fast on rough trails, we aren't noobs that don't...

Harsh, raw-feeling ride that needs patience and skill to master, or flatter and tamer tracks to get the most from
Refined frame details
Drool-worthy components
Bosch motor
Stiff and unforgiving
Tyre compound and trail casing
Conservative geometry
Headset cable routing limits headset compatibility
Brake and shifter/dropper integration

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
May 2022
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.

In last year's budget group test, the CUBE Stereo Hybrid 140 secured our coveted Best Buy badge. Entering the race with the top-of-the-range, € 8,499 Stereo Hybrid 140 HPC SLT Nyon, the German brand has to face much tougher competition in this year's high-end group test. As the only bike with a Bosch Nyon display in our test field, does it have a real technological advantage or is the onboard computer an unnecessary distraction on the trail?
Outstanding long-distance comfort
Killer look
Spec suits the purpose

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.
