The “Stereo Hybrid 140 HPC Pro 625 prismagrey’n’blue” model from Cube, released in 2022, is a high-quality e-mountain bike designed for challenging trail adventures. Priced at 3999 EUR, it offers an impressive combination of advanced technology and robust features.

The bike’s frame is constructed using C:62 Monocoque Advanced Twin Mold Technology with a 6061 T6 aluminium rear triangle. This design ensures an optimal balance between stiffness and weight. The Efficient Trail Control and FSP 4-Link design enhance riding dynamics, whilst the Agile Trail Geometry enables agile and precise handling. The frame also features a Boost 148 system and a fully integrated battery, further enhancing the bike’s aesthetics and aerodynamics.

Braking performance is provided by Magura MT Thirty hydraulic disc brakes with 4-piston calipers on both the front and rear wheels and 203 mm rotors, which offer reliable deceleration even on challenging descents. The drivetrain consists of an 11-speed Shimano Deore RD-M5100-SGS, controlled by Shimano Deore SL-M5100 Rapidfire-Plus shifters, which enable precise and fast gear changes.

The RockShox Recon Silver RL Air suspension fork, featuring a tapered head tube and a 15x110 mm Boost axle, is specifically approved for e-MTBs and offers 100 mm of travel as well as a lockout function. The RockShox Deluxe Select rear shock, featuring a trunnion mount and rebound adjustment, provides additional control and comfort on rough terrain.

The drivetrain is powered by an ACID E-Crank crankset with 165 mm cranks, whilst the front chainring varies depending on wheel size (27.5: 36T, 29: 34T). The Shimano Deore CS-M5100 cassette with 11–51T offers a wide range of gear ratios, whilst the KMC X11 chain ensures smooth power transfer.

The bike’s cockpit consists of a Newmen Evolution SL 318.25 handlebar with a width of 760 mm, ACID React Pro grips and a CUBE Performance Stem E-MTB stem with a 31.8 mm clamp. The headset varies depending on wheel size: the 27.5 model is fitted with an ACROS AZX-1032 BlockLock, whilst the 29 model uses an ACROS AZX-1030 headset.

The CUBE EX30 rims are tubeless-ready and, in combination with the Schwalbe Nobby Nic tyres (PerfL, 2.6), offer excellent grip and stability. The hubs are by Shimano (FR: HB-MT400-B, RR: FH-MT400-B) and feature Boost axles and CentreLock brake disc mounts.

The Natural Fit Venec saddle, mounted on a CUBE Dropper Post seatpost with internal cable routing and a handlebar lever, ensures comfort and adjustability whilst riding. The saddle is clamped using a CUBE Screwlock semi-integrated clamp with a diameter of 34.9 mm.

The bike is powered by a Bosch Performance CX Generation 4 motor with 85 Nm of torque and an output of 250 watts. The Bosch PowerTube 625 battery ensures a long range, whilst the Bosch Purion display allows for easy control and monitoring of the system. A Bosch 2A charger is also included.

All in all, the Cube Stereo Hybrid 140 HPC Pro 625 in Prismagrey’n’Blue offers a well-designed and high-performance package for anyone looking for a reliable and versatile e-mountain bike.
