CUBE Stereo Hybrid ONE44 HPC Race Review

The shock mount supported at the downtube gives the Stereo Hybrid ONE44 HPC Race a futuristic look. With 15 mm 150 mm, it is also a bit more generously equipped than its predecessor, the Stereo Hybrid 14. The bike flirts with serious trail use more than ever before.
Bosch is the major motor manufacturer in the EMTB world, alongside Shimano - and it's no surprise, as the Performance Line CX Gen. 5 shows. 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. Fans of XXL tours will be happy with the Stereo Hybrid ONE44 HPC Race due to ist excellent range.

Expirience with the CUBE Stereo Hybrid ONE44 HPC Race

Altogether, an amazing range, a very good motor and a good geometry make the Stereo Hybrid ONE44 HPC Race a very good bike for friends of the uphill flow.
