Cube Reaction Hybrid SLT 500 Kiox HT Electric MTB 2019, Grey – 11 Speed
One look at this Cube Reaction Hybrid SLT 500 Kiox HT E-MTB tells you all you need to know: it's special. Our design team created a sophisticated, gravity cast down tube and bottom bracket to house the Bosch CX drive unit and PowerTube battery. It serves several purposes. First, it's undeniably elegant. Second, it keeps the Reaction Hybrid SLT's centre of gravity as low as possible, for better handling. And third, it's an incredibly stiff backbone for the rest of the chassis. Combined with the Boost 12mm thru-axle, tapered head tube and Agile Ride Geometry, the result is a Bosch e-bike frame that's as intuitive and inspiring to ride as any of our mountain bikes. You can even charge the battery without removing it, if you wish. Internal cable routing complements the clean appearance and keeps gear shifts slick in even the filthiest of conditions, and there's room for up to two bottle cage mounts – so you can stay properly hydrated, even on longer rides.
The Reaction Hybrid SLT represents the state of the art in aluminium e-MTB technology. Whether it's the ultimate drivetrain performance or the best handling Bosch e-bike that you're seeking, it all comes together here in a single, exceptional hardtail. Our engineers' refined chassis design harnesses the power and versatility of Bosch's proven e-bike technology with CUBE's years of experience in crafting great-looking, great riding mountain bikes. Combined with Fox's plush 34 Rhythm fork, Shimano 11 speed XT gears, powerful hydraulic disc brakes – with a 4 piston caliper at the front – as well as Newmen cockpit components and a remote dropper post, we've cut no corners in our quest to produce the ultimate machine for off-road explorers. Ride further, faster and more often: the trail awaits.
