CUBE Stereo Hybrid ONE22 SLT 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 224, 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 6 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. Thanks to the excellent range, you should no longer have any range problems.

Solid endurance qualities are shown by the chassis of medium quality. Thanks to the four pistons and large brake rotors, the Magura brakes decelerate so well that they can be called an anchor. You can't brake any better than that. The components and the gears are less in the spotlight with an EMTB than with bikes without motor. Nevertheless, when we take a look we find out that here, good components are always used. 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. With weight, the Stereo Hybrid ONE22 SLT is generally one of the heavier e-bikes on the market.
