• Cube Stereo Hybrid 140 HPA 27 5″ Race E-BikeCube’s Stereo Hybrid 140 HPA 27 5″ Race E-Bike sets the benchmark for an all-mountain Hybrid. Whether it’s the frame’s exceptional balance and low weight, the Agile Ride Geometry’s superb trail manners or the reliable, range-topping components that have been carefully selected by Cube, this is a bike that stands out above the competition. More than that, it’s just crying out for epic singletrack adventures Innovative E-BikeThe Cube way of doing things is simple: maximum performance, zero compromise. They’ve built on well-known features – like the much-lauded Agile Trail Geometry (ATG) and Efficent Trail Control (ETC) suspension dynamics – to give their four pivot 7005 High Performance Aluminium frame a real innovative edge. The Tuned Drive Position (TDP) integrates the drive unit into the frame in the best possible position, enabling their engineers to optimise chainstay length and improve agility and overall handling as a result. Boost hubs with 148mm axles keep everything tracking true and straight and an integrated battery mount means you can enjoy a low centre of gravity. The incredibly clean looks are given a boost by running cables internally, protecting them from damage Reliable, Race-ready ComponentsEven the steepest, narrowest singletrack won’t catch the Stereo Hybrid 140 HPA 27 5″ Race E-Bike off-guard. The Bosch CX drive delivers up to 75Nm torque for effortless climbing. Throw in the 500Wh battery and the entire system enjoys extraordinary efficiency. It’s easy to see why even epic hilly routes are now a possibility. The enormous gear ratio range of the 11-speed Shimano XT transmission with its 11-46T cassette means you’ll always be able to find the right gear. And the XT brake system won’t let you down, even on the longest and steepest of mountain descents, thanks to its superb modulation and large 180mm rotors. Fox’s new generation Float DPS Performance EVOL shock and 34 Float Performance fork work together to provide peerless bump-eating smoothness. Robust Cube EX25 rims on Boost XT hubs with wide, grippy Schwalbe Hans Dampf tyres – in puncture-proof Super Gravity form at the rear – provide all rigidity, traction and control you need to tame the toughest of trails Features:Frame:ŒæHPA Ultralight, Advanced Hydroform, Triple Butted, ETC 4-Link, ATG, Boost148mm, Tuned Drive Position, AXHFork:ŒæFox 34 Float, 3-Position Micro-Adjust GRIP Damper, Tapered, 15QR, 140mmShock: Fox Float DPS, 190x50mm, Open/Medium/Firm Mode, EVOL Air SleeveShock Hardware: Top: 30x8mm, Bottom: 30x8mm Headset:ŒæFSA Orbit Z-t, Top Zero-Stack 1 1/8″ (OD44mm), Bottom Integrated 1 1/2″ Stem:ŒæCube Performance Stem Pro, 31 8mm Handlebar:ŒæCube Rise Trail Bar Pro, 740mm Grips:ŒæCube Race Grip, 1-clamp Front Derailleur:ŒæN/ARear Derailleur:ŒæShimano XT RD-M8000-DGS, ShadowPlus, 11-Speed, Direct MountShifters:ŒæShimano XT SL-M8000-I, Direct Attach Brake System:ŒæShimano XT BR-M8000, Hydr.

Cube 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. Twin Mould Technology: The Twin Mould technique uses re-usable cores during the lay-up process to ensure precision frame moulding. Special inserts guarantee optimum ply orientation during the production process to add extra strength at frame points subject to higher loads. This improves the safety of the product and delivers outstanding stiffness characteristics High Performance Aluminium: For Cube’s high-end bikes they have use High Performance 7005 Aluminium alloy which has a very low density combined with high strength due to the alloy elements and the hardening heat treatment. By triple butting or even quadruple butting to give different wall thicknesses in one tube, aluminium tubes are reinforced where required and made lighter where possible. In this way, Cube succeed in getting material where it is needed most. In addition, they use special tube shapes, manufactured with hydroforming technology to better cope with directional forces. The low density and high strength as well as the butting and the hydroforming technology enable them to make high-performance frames with an ultimate level of stiffness.. Agile Ride Geometry: Cube ran innumerable tests to develop the Agile Ride Geometry in its series of big wheel bikes. It also added the 27 5″ wheel size to the very well received portfolio. Three important details lead to the very agile character. Increased fork offsets let Cube achieve the same trail as its 26″ bikes without having to steepen the head angle, thus maintaining generous toe clearance to the front wheel. Secondly it shortened the chainstays without compromising the seat angle. Cube invented a patented construction to mount the front derailleur to give it more tyre clearance while keeping a conventional seat angle, leading to a perfect riding position for every rider size. Last but not least, it kept the BB height the same as on its 26″ bikes. These measures lead to a natural riding position. Every mountain biker will feel immediately at home on a Cube 29er or 27 5″ bike 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 Press Fit BB: With Press Fit bearings, the bottom bracket bearings are pressed directly into the frame and not screwed in as usual. This gives a wider bottom bracket shell and allows Cube to build a wider downtube and more broadly spaced chainstays. Every millimetre of additional width gives a significant improvement in lateral stiffness Stealth Ready: Dropper seatposts are getting more and more widespread, but to integrate them optimally in the frame, they have to be factory fitted. With the Stealth Ready frames, it is possible to build in a dropper seat post with internally routed cables, which besides the clean look, helps prevent any cables getting jammed. The exit of the cable on the frame, if not required, will be sealed with a cover for protection. 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 headtube. On all of the 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. Boost 148mm: Boost 148mm technology provides precise handling, on every trail, in every situation. The hub flange moves 3mm towards the outside on both sides. It increases the stiffness of a 27 5″ wheel by 14% and, for a 29er wheel, by 21%. The reason is the spokes wider support in comparison to the 142mm hubs used previously. FSP4Link: The key requirement is for continuously active and fully usable travel, with the rear triangle unaffected by pedalling or especially braking forces. There are a number of ways of achieving this; Cube favours a four bar design with a chainstay pivot. Here, one of the pivots is located between the dropout and the chainstay, ensuring that braking does not have a negative effect on the movement of the rear wheel. By carefully positioning the remaining pivots, they obtain the finest riding qualities for their full suspension bikes both uphill and downhill. This fact is proven by many top test results in leading magazines over the last few years. Smooth Welding: This elaborate procedure with doubled weld seams has two advantages: on the one hand, it improves the firmness of the weld seams and minimises the load peaks on the tube welds through energy flow. On the other hand, it helps the frame to a better and more organic look due to the smooth and hardly noticeable welds. Efficient Trail Control: Cube’s Efficient Trail Control series works so that everyone can have more fun on the trail. With 27 5″ and 29er wheel options, their 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 headtube 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. Frame Safe System: To protect their high-end aluminium frames from damage, Cube’s Frame Save System has a 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 Easy AssemblyWhen you order a bike, one of our trained mechanics will carefully prepare and pack your bike for shipping.
