Cube Stereo Hybrid 160 Video Review
We ride the Cube Stereo Hybrid 160 HPC SLX at our local trail centre to see how the bike handles the rough with the smooth. Have a look at our video to see what we thought of this powerful long-travel eMTB.
Smart Bosch Power
All models in the range feature the Bosch Performance CX Gen 4 Smart System drive unit. This state-of-the-art e-bike system offers powerful pedal assistance – up to 85Nm torque – that responds intuitively to rider input. The LED remote switch and Kiox 300 display allow you to switch between power modes and monitor key metrics while you ride. You can also customise the way the motor responds and how much power it delivers in each of the modes using the eBike Flow app.
Large Battery Capacity
Most Stereo Hybrid 160 models feature Bosch’s largest capacity 750Wh PowerTube battery pack. This offers incredible range – from 32Km in eMTB mode up to 65Km in ECO mode - when riding demanding MTB trails in mountainous terrain. The battery sits neatly in the downtube and is easily removed if you want to charge and/or store it off the bike.
Hard Hitting Suspension
With a burly fork like the RockShox Zeb or Fox 38 taking charge of the 170mm of front suspension travel the Stereo Hybrid 160 is ready to take on the most demanding terrain. The 160mm travel rear suspension system is sensitive to small bumps on the trail while also soaking up the big hits. This means you get a smooth and capable ride over mixed terrain.
Impeccable Trail Manners
Featuring Agile Trail Geometry, the Stereo Hybrid 160 is focused towards riders who like pushing their limits on the trail. The low standover height offers plenty of room to move about over the bike to give you more control, so you can have more fun as you ride.
Stand out Model
Available at a very competitive price the Cube Stereo Hybrid 160 HPC SLX 750 is the model that offers the best performance for your money. You get the same great motor as the top-of-the-line models paired with largest battery, so drive unit wise it’s as good as they get. The RockShox Zeb Select RC fork is a standout component at this price point and the Shimano groupset gives you all the capability you need. With a Maxxis Assegai / Minion DHR combo it’s even got the perfect tyre setup for aggressive UK riding.
The Cube Stereo Hybrid is a capable e-MTB that’s equally at home on trail centre loops, bike park tracks and challenging enduro trails. It’s an ideal e-bike for those who love mountain biking and want the power to do it more.
