Cube Stereo Hybrid 120 HPC SLT 500 2018 Electric bike Black

When we set out to design the ultimate full suspension trail e-MTB, it was obvious that we needed a completely fresh approach. When only the best will do, the Stereo Hybrid 120 SLT will deliver, time after time. Our new-for-2018 carbon Stereo Hybrid 120 frame incorporates everything we've learned about high performance e-MTBs and encapsulates it in light, rigid and durable carbon form. No-compromise components include a NEWMEN cockpit, Fox Transfer Factory dropper post with internal cable routing and Shimano's matchless Di2 XT transmission. There's no faster, more comfortable or more efficient way to pedal from A to B, even if you throw the most technically demanding trails into the mix. What are you waiting for?

It's hard enough to build a great carbon full suspension frame, but adding a Bosch drive system into the mix makes things even trickier. This year, not only have we managed to improve the function of everything - from the position of the battery and motor to the kinematics of the suspension system - but we've made the Stereo Hybrid 120 SLT look better too. Those sleek looks are partly down to Bosch's Intube battery setup. This allows us to lower the frame's centre of gravity, protect the battery from dust and water and even offer the option of in-frame battery charging. The drive unit is perfectly positioned thanks to our proprietary Tuned Drive Position, and protected from trail debris damage by a CUBE-designed bash plate. Internal cable routing keeps cables where they belong - out of the way - and a Boost rear end backs up the carbon front triangle's superb rigidity with precise steering in all trail conditions. And, as you'd expect, our revised Agile Trail Geometry offers the unique blend of agility and stability that's become the hallmark of our e-MTBs.
