Weighing 30 kg, the Town Hybrid SL 625 is relatively heavy for an e-bike, but this is offset by its high-performance specifications.

The Shimano Nexus SL-C6000-8 Revoshift gear lever enables precise gear changes, whilst the SR Suntour XCR32 LO-R Air fork, with 100 mm of travel and a lockout function, ensures additional comfort on uneven terrain.

For lighting, the bike is fitted with the ACID Front Light PRO-E 110 (5–16V, DC) and the ACID Mudguard Rear Light PRO-E (12V, DC), which ensure good visibility in the dark. The ACID PP Trekking pedals, the ACID E-Crank (40T, 165mm) and the KMC Z610 EcoProTeQ chain all contribute to the durability and efficiency of the drivetrain.

The CUBE Comfort Trail Bar handlebars (700mm) and the RFR Comfort grips offer a comfortable ride, whilst the BySchulz Speedlifter Twist stem allows for flexible adjustment of the handlebar height. The ACROS AZX-1041 headset with BlockLock 135° provides additional security.

The CUBE EX23 rims (36H, disc, tubeless-ready) and Schwalbe Marathon E-Plus tyres (55-622) ensure a stable and puncture-resistant ride. The hubs consist of a Shimano Deore HB-M6000 at the front and a Shimano Nexus SG-C6001-8D at the rear, guaranteeing reliable performance.

The Natural Fit Shen Ponso saddle and the BySchulz G.2 Parallelogram Suspension seatpost (30.9mm) ensure a high level of comfort, whilst the CUBE Varioclose seatpost clamp (34.9mm) allows for easy adjustment. The bike is completed by ACID 65 mudguards, a CUBEstand Cmpt kickstand and a CUBE Integrated Carrier 2.0 luggage rack, which is SnapIt-compatible.

The Town Hybrid SL 625 is powered by a Bosch Performance Generation 3 motor with 60 Nm of torque and 250 watts of power, combined with a Bosch PowerTube 625 battery. The Bosch Nyon display offers intuitive controls and comprehensive information whilst riding.
