• Cube Stereo Hybrid 120 HPA 27 5″+ SL E-BikeAt Cube, they don’t jump on bandwagons. But when something comes along that’s genuinely useful, they’re always willing to work with it. That’s how they ended up developing the SStereo Hybrid 120 HPA 27 5″+ SL E-Bike, built around the incredible grip and comfort of 27 5+ tyres. It’s a trail-devouring monster, blending the speed and precision of regular tyres with the float and traction of a fat bike: the best of both worlds Comfortable and Responsive Aluminium E-BikeDesigning a frame to incorporate plus size wheels, 120mm of travel and Bosch’s superb drive system isn’t easy. It’s a good thing, then, that Cube’s designers are up to the task. Calling upon decades of experience in aluminium frame construction and a neat trick or two, they built a chassis that’s light, stiff, strong – and has the clearances required. Boost hubs ensure accurate tracking and precision steering, even when things are getting rowdy. A low top tube and Agile Ride Geometry make for a highly nimble, easily controlled trail companion. Meanwhile, Efficient Trail Control kinematics provide a neutral, easily adjustable suspension setup that’ll tackle anything you throw at it Reliable, Race-ready ComponentsA bike this capable needs stop-and-go components to match. So Cube teamed Bosch’s superb CX drive unit – with its mountain-taming 75Nm of torque and 500Wh battery – with Shimano’s wide-ranging, super-reliable 11-speed XT transmission. The 11-46T cassette and slick, smooth shifter are the perfect match for the Bosch’s seamless power delivery, ensuring smooth gear changes in all conditions. Shimano’s superb XT hydraulic disc brakes means you’ll always be able to keep your speed in check, while Fox’s 34 Rhythm fork and Float DPS Performance EVOL shock handle trail smoothing duties with easy aplomb. Answer Plus Atac wheels shod with Schwable Nobby Nic tyres provide epic levels of grip, and the Cube dropper post means you don’t have to stick to the easy line Features:Frame:ŒæHPA Ultralight, Advanced Hydroform, Triple Butted, ETC 4-Link, ATG, Boost 148mm, Tuned Drive Position, AXH, Plus ReadyFork:ŒæFox 34 Rhythm, 2-Position Sweep-Adjust GRIP Damper, Tapered, Boost 15QR, 120mmShock: Fox Float DPS Performance, 184x44mm, 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 MTB Grip Front Derailleur:ŒæN/A Rear Derailleur:ŒæShimano XT RD-M8000-DGS, ShadowPlus, 11-Speed, Direct Mount Shifters:ŒæShimano XT SL-M8000 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. Trail Motion Rocker: The Trail Motion Rocker features optimised 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 Easy AssemblyWhen you order a bike, one of our trained mechanics will carefully prepare and pack your bike for shipping.
