CUBE STEREO HYBRID 120 PRO 625 Review

Bosch is the major motor manufacturer in the EMTB world, alongside Shimano - and it's no surprise, as the Performance Line CX Smart System shows. The Bosch motor climbs steep ramps effortlessly. The very natural riding feeling combines the Bosch Performance Line CX Smart System with a dynamic power delivery. The well-tuned driving modes hit the mark. Whoever likes to go on long rides will be pleased with the very good range.

As the hits get faster and harder the average chassis limits the downhill fun. Especially for heavy riders, the CUBE brakes could be a problem. With four pistons they only decelerate averagely. At the drivetrain components and the rest of the parts, CUBE uses average parts. The moderate head tube angle provides a good compromise between stability and agility when going downhill. The reach is also right there in the middle ground. The low bottom bracket height will likely be a sticking point for trail riders, as it negatively affects handling.
