With only 120 mm of travel, the STEREO HYBRID 120 RACE 625 is the most propulsion-oriented fully in Cube's lineup. For really demanding single trails, the Bavarians have other bikes in their product range.

The Performance Line CX from Bosch shows impressively that they shouldn't be limited to DIY and household products. The Bosch motor takes away the fear of even the steepest ramps. The combination of a very natural riding feeling and a progressive power delivery characterises the Bosch Performance Line CX. The well-tuned driving modes hit the mark. Thanks to the very good range, you should no longer have any range problems even on very long tours.

At a glance

The most importanten ratings of the CUBE STEREO HYBRID 120 RACE 625 ⬤ in comparison to the competitor bikes of following categorie: (4000) ⬤.

Rough descents take away some of the fear thanks to the average chassis. The mid-range brakes from Magura do their job but could be a bit firmer. The power of the two pistons setup is only average. The average shifting components and accessories leave some tuning potential open. For most e-bikers, this should be an acceptable point. 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 is a party pooper for the handling on the trail. On other bikes, you are more centrally located behind the handlebar.

Conclusion

Expirience with the CUBE STEREO HYBRID 120 RACE 625

The STEREO HYBRID 120 RACE 625 isnt`t a specialist on the trail. Despite a middle ground chassis and a mediocre brake system, it remains thanks to a very strong range, a good motor and a good geometry a solid all-rounder with a wide range of use.
