CUBE STEREO HYBRID 160 HPC SLX 750 27.5 Review

The combination of 27.5 inch wheels and 160 mm of travel at the fork has become rare. But the STEREO HYBRID 160 HPC SLX 750 27.5 brings these two factors together in one bike.
The Performance Line CX Smart System from Bosch shows impressively that they shouldn't be limited to DIY and household products. 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. 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 160 HPC SLX 750 27.5 in comparison to the competitor bikes of following categorie: (5000) .

The Rock Shox chassis provides safety and traction, even when the trail gets rougher. However, it comes to its limit at high speed. The thick 38mm stanchions on the fork provide an extra dose of steering precision and performance. Especially for heavy riders, the CUBE brakes could be a problem. With four pistons they only decelerate averagely. 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 will likely be a sticking point for trail riders, as it negatively affects handling. Due to the short chainstays and the shallow seat angle , when climbing steep sections, it requires active weight shifting to prevent the front wheel from lifting.
