Cube Stereo Hybrid 160 HPC SLX 750 2023 Electric Bike

It's time to get your enduro on. The Stereo Hybrid 160 HPC SLX 750's blend of gravity prowess and all-round trail ability is the killer combo that re-writes the rules for e-mtbs. With Bosch power and Cube kinematics, it's got the range, the handling and the attitude to help you take on any trail and come out on top.

Meet the enduro-capable e-mtb that re-writes the rules. Powered by Bosch's fourth-generation CX drive and a high-capacity 750Wh battery for the best possible range, the Stereo Hybrid 160 HPC SLX 750's blend of gravity prowess and all-round trail ability is what sets it apart. A RockShox Zeb Select fork works with a Deluxe Select+ rear shock and carefully tuned Cube kinematics to smooth the trail ahead. Shimano's legendary XT 1 x 12 transmission gives you the range you need to tackle any climb. And powerful, progressive Shimano hydraulic disc brakes, with oversize rotors front and rear, combined with a remote dropper post ensure you're always in complete control.

An enduro-capable bike with Bosch power? You'd better believe it. The Stereo Hybrid 160 HPC's carbon main frame is built to house the Modular Battery System - including a battery up to 750Wh - and fourth-generation Bosch drive unit, in a full range of sizes to suit almost every rider. Practicality is key so, for example, there's room for a bottle cage, and the battery cover has push-button access. On the handling front we've incorporated race-inspired geometry, a Boost 148 rear end and 1.5in head tube for on-demand cut-and-paste line choices, no matter how rowdy the trail. With a trunnion shock mount, oversize linkage bearings and internal cable routing, you can be assured of minimal maintenance downtime and maximum trail fun time.

Features

More of a pimped-travel all mountain machine than race-bred enduro weapon. The comfy riding position, strong chassis and great spec add up to a wallet-friendly all-rounder for demanding trail-heavy tours. EMTB Magazine 01/23

Our Efficient Trail Control series works in the background so that everyone can have more fun on the trail. A low leverage ratio and linear compression rate are the technical way of saying that these bikes are very sensitive to trail obstacles, whilst remaining insensitive to pedal-induced bob and giving a full range of travel.

With our Advanced Twin Mold process we use two precisely manufactured forms for our C:62, C:68 and C:68X carbon frames. The first form is to ensure an accurate layup. The second, inner form keeps every individual fibre precisely where it needs to be while the frame cures. The result is a significantly lighter, stronger frame, with fibre density tailored to anticipated loadings at specific points.

Agile Trail Geometry is a development of our popular and well received Agile Ride Geometry, with a focus on riders who enjoy pushing their limits on the trails. By lowering standover height and allowing more room for the rider to move around over the bike, we've created a setup that rewards adventurous line choices. Because, after all, it's all about having fun.

A wider hub makes a stiffer wheel, and a stiffer wheel means better handling. That's the thinking behind the Boost 148 rear hub standard, which allows wider flange spacing for better wheel performance without impacting on shifting accuracy or drivetrain efficiency. Simply put, you can go faster and harder with better handling and stronger wheels.

The Fully Integrated Battery system tucks the power of Bosch's battery out of sight, safely inside the confines of your bike's downtube. Hidden beneath a splash and dust-proof cover and secured with a lock to prevent theft, it allows us to design beautiful e-bike frames that are as brilliantly functional as they are good to look at.

In many ways the battery is the heart of an e-bike. That's why, with our Modular Battery System, we've made a setup that's easy to use. You can charge the battery on or off the bike, and we've made room for even high capacity batteries. You'll wonder how you ever managed without it.

One standard for all: gear hanger replacement made easy thanks to the innovative Universal Derailleur Hanger. With a design that includes some room for pivoting to help prevent chain jams, it improves shifting performance and works with all drivetrains. Best of all, it's a standard part that is available anywhere.
