CUBE Stereo Hybrid ONE22 Pro 600 Review

The Performance Line CX Gen. 5 from Bosch shows impressively that they shouldn't be limited to DIY and household products. No motor has shaped the EMTB boom as much as the Bosch CX. Since October 2024, the 5th generation of the Bosch Performance Line CX has been available. Compared to the previous model, the motor is especially much quieter. While you can still hear a sound when pedaling uphill, the annoying high-frequency tones have finally disappeared. The gearbox no longer rattles on the downhill trails either. With its proven performance data of 85 Nm torque and over 600 watts of peak power, the motor provides ample power, even for the steepest uphill trails. Bosch has always been a leader in motor control, and the new CX demonstrates this as well. Although it doesn't reach the extremely fine tuning of the #DJI Avinox, Bosch remains one of the best brands on the market in terms of motor control. Additionally, the motor delivers powerful support even at low cadence. Whoever enjoys longer tours will be pleased with the good range.

As the hits get faster and harder the average chassis limits the downhill fun. At the brakes, CUBE reaches for the bottom of the Magura shelf and instals simple brakes with two pistons. Shifting and components still leave room for improvement. Other providers dig deeper into their pockets for these assemblies. The relatively high reach value in the geometry table is compensated by CUBE with a relatively short stem. Thus, the long main frame remains maneuverable in the terrain. The view of the weight of 25,5 kg reveals: There are lighter Touringbikes.
