Cube Kathmandu Hybrid Pro 625 flashstone´n´black

The "Kathmandu Hybrid Pro 625 flashstone’n’black" model from Cube, released in 2023, is a high-quality e-bike that stands out thanks to its well-thought-out design and high-performance features. Priced at EUR 3,499, this bike offers excellent value for money.

The frame of the Kathmandu Hybrid Pro 625 is made from Superlite aluminium and utilises Gravity Casting Technology. This construction ensures high stability whilst keeping the weight down to just 26 kg. Thanks to the Efficient Comfort Geometry, the Boost148 standard and the fully integrated battery, the bike is both comfortable and high-performing. The integrated Luggage Rack 3.0 and the advanced internal cable routing round off the well-thought-out design. The maximum load capacity is 150 kg, which is a testament to the bike’s robust construction.

The braking system comprises Shimano BR-MT200 hydraulic disc brakes with 180 mm discs at the front and rear, ensuring reliable braking performance. The drivetrain is a Shimano Deore RD-M5100-SGS with 11 speeds, controlled via Shimano Deore SL-M5100 Rapidfire-Plus shift levers. This combination enables precise and rapid gear changes.

The X-Fusion MIG32 Air fork, with 100 mm of travel and a lockout function, ensures a comfortable ride on a variety of surfaces. For lighting, the bike is fitted with a CUBE Shiny 50 Lux front light and an ACID Mudguard Rear Light PRO-E rear light, both of which operate at a voltage of 12V DC.

The pedals are ACID PP trekking models, whilst the crankset consists of an ACID E-Crank with 40 teeth and a length of 175 mm. The Shimano Deore CS-M5100 cassette offers a range of 11–51 teeth, driven by a KMC X11 chain.

The handlebars are CUBE Comfort Trail Bars with a width of 700 mm, combined with ACID Travel Comfort grips and an adjustable CUBE Comfort Stem Pro stem. The headset is an ACROS AZF-1035 with integrated cable management and a BlockLock function for added security.

The wheels are fitted with CUBE EX23 rims, which are tubeless-ready, and Schwalbe Big Ben Performance tyres (55-622) offer excellent grip and comfort. The hubs are Shimano HB-MT400-B at the front and FH-MT400-B at the rear, both to the Boost standard and with CentreLock brake disc mounts.

The Natural Fit Sequence Comfort saddle sits on a CUBE Suspension Seatpost HD with a diameter of 30.9 mm, which offers additional comfort. The saddle is clamped using a CUBE Screwlock Semi-Integrated clamp with a concealed tool.

Additional features include ACID 65 mudguards, an ACID FM Pure kickstand and an ACID Integrated Carrier 3.0 luggage rack, which is compatible with CUBE adaptors.

The bike is powered by a Bosch Performance CX Generation 4 motor (85 Nm) with a Bosch PowerTube 625 battery and a Bosch Kiox 300 display. The battery has a capacity of 625 Wh and is charged using a Bosch 4A charger.

The packaging dimensions are 260 mm wide, 935 mm high and 1685 mm long, which underlines the bike’s compact and well-thought-out design.
