The bike is fitted with Magura hydraulic disc brakes (CMe, 180/203 mm), which ensure reliable braking performance in a range of weather conditions. The Enviolo Cargo manual gear system and its corresponding gear lever allow for smooth and intuitive gear selection, which is particularly advantageous when carrying varying loads.

To ensure optimum visibility in traffic, the Cargo Hybrid 500 is fitted with an ACID Front Light PRO-E 110 (5–16 V, DC) and an ACID Mudguard Rear Light PRO-E (12 V, DC). The CUBE PP MTB pedals offer a secure grip and stability whilst riding. Power is transmitted via a KMC Z610 chain drive, combined with an ACID E-Crank (170 mm, 38T) and an Enviolo 20T sprocket.

The bike’s handlebars are a 680 mm wide CUBE Comfort Trail Bar, which, together with the RFR Comfort Revoshift grips, ensures an ergonomic riding experience. The BySchulz Speedlifter Classic stem and the CUBE H835D3 headset with Cane Creek Viscoset contribute to stability and steering precision.

The CUBE EX30 rims (32H, disc, tubeless-ready) are robust and, in combination with the Schwalbe Pick-Up tyres (front: 60-406, rear: 65-584), are designed to withstand heavy loads. The front hub is a Shimano HB-MT400 (15x100 mm, Centre Lock) and the rear hub is an Enviolo Cargo (380%, 10x135 mm), ensuring smooth power transfer.

The Natural Fit Sequence+ Comfort saddle and the Newmen Evolution seatpost (30.9 mm) offer a high level of comfort, whilst the CUBE Varioclose seatpost clamp (34.9 mm) secures the saddle firmly in place. The ACID 75 mudguards protect against splashes and dirt, and the Cargo kickstand ensures the bike stands securely when loaded.

The Cargo Hybrid 500 is powered by a Bosch Drive Unit Cargo Line Generation 4 motor (85 Nm) with an output of 250 watts. The Bosch PowerPack 500 battery provides sufficient power for long rides, and the Bosch Intuvia display offers user-friendly controls and an overview of all key ride data.
