Cube Stereo Hybrid 160 SL 500 FS Electric MTB 2019 - 11 Speed, 27.5" Wheel

Improving on near-perfection might seem like a fool's errand, but to our designers it's just another challenge.

    The Cube Stereo Hybrid 160 SL 500 MTB takes the concept of an enduro-capable Bosch e-bike to the next level, blending an exceptionally accomplished long travel chassis with a choice selection of components and Bosch's matchless Performance CX drive unit. Revised geometry adds more reach, a slacker head angle and more progressive kinematics to an already highly regarded mountain-taming bike. With its sleek looks, Shimano XT 11 speed transmission, powerful XT hydraulic disc brakes and Fox 36 Float GRIP 170mm fork with Float DPX2 EVOL shock, it's a fork to be reckoned with in the mountains. The Fox Transfer Performance Elite stealth dropper post is the icing on the cake, opening up even more line choices for the adventurous rider. You only live once. Shouldn't your bike choice reflect that?

    A bike designed to tackle the toughest trails at speed needs a strong backbone. That's why the Stereo Hybrid 160 SL's down tube is a one piece gravity casting, completely enclosing the Bosch battery and drive unit in a structure that, combined with the tapered head tube, is as rigid as we could make it. The dirt-proof cover keeps the battery safe - and you can charge the battery in situ, though it's also really easy to remove. Tweaked kinematics add more progression to the suspension for even better trail performance, while feedback from our team riders has resulted in more reach and a slacker head angle in a revised version of our acclaimed Agile Ride Geometry. Out back is a Boost axle for maximum drivetrain efficiency and accurate tracking, while internal cable routing means you'll spend time enjoying your bike's clean, crisp shifting instead of maintaining it.

    Frame Safe System

    To protect our high-end aluminium frames from damage, they are built with the CUBE Frame Save System replaceable derailleur hanger. The mounting thread is in the hanger and not in the frame as usual. In case of a crash, this hanger can be easily and quickly replaced by a new one.

    Adaptable X12 Hanger

    We optimized our new dropout design based on the Syntace X12 through-axle system, enlarging the area of the frame where the hanger is mounted. We can now fit the longer Direct Mount hangers. Shifting precision and stiffness is therefore improved. With the new design it's also possible to swap the whole contact area of the axle with the hanger should the system be worn out.

    Agile Trail Geometry

    The Agile Trail Geometry carries over the Agile Ride Geometry’s benefits but with more focus on aggressive trail use. This can be achieved through a more compact frame construction with an even lower top tube and improved standover height. The result is more freedom of movement on the bike for the rider and a lower centre of gravity which guarantees agile handling and more riding fun.

    Efficient Trail Control

    Our Efficient Trail Control series works so that everyone can have more fun on the trail. With 27.5 and 29er wheel options our frames cover the widest range of riding on every terrain you can imagine. The low leverage ratio and linear rate curve makes the bike very sensitive, avoids bobbing and offers full usable travel all the time. Steep seat tube angles and slack head tube angles make these dream machines ready for action on the descent where you can use the full amount of travel to be on the safe side.

    Trail Motion Rocker

    The Trail Motion Rocker features optimized leverage ratios for every bike and intended use, giving fast reacting yet stable suspension in every situation. The computer-designed one piece rocker construction gives maximum stiffness for the best suspension performance while still being extremely lightweight.

    Integrated Cable Routing

    Internally routed cables offer many advantages. Cables are protected from dirt for longer life, weight is saved thanks to the absence of external housing and the bike has a clean, sleek appearance.

    Tapered Steerer

    This steerer tube design is stiffer than a conventional straight steerer and yields a more secure ride feel even in difficult terrain. Minimal flex at the front of the frame means the greatest possible steering precision. With the larger steerer, the forks become more rigid. At the same time weight is saved due to the absence of bearing shells as the lower bearing is fully integrated into the head tube. On all of our CUBE carbon models the upper bearing shells are also directly in the frame, so that once more a few grams are saved and the energy transfer is very direct.
