And that's what you've got with the Stereo Hybrid 140 HPC Actionteam: the bike of choice of CUBE athletes, with no compromise. Based around the brand-new Stereo Hybrid 140 HPC 29er chassis, it features a no-holds-barred selection of premium components for ultimate performance. Making the most of the redesigned Agile Trail Geometry and progressive kinematics, the Fox Float DPX2 Factory shock - with trunnion mount - and Fox 36 Float Factory fork offer up to 150mm of smooth, controllable, rock-swallowing travel. Shimano's incredible wide-ranging 12-speed XT transmission works seamlessly with Bosch's fourth-generation CX drive unit to give you the power, torque and gear range to tackle any climb, while powerful XT hydraulic disc brakes with oversize 203mm rotors work with Schwalbe's grippy Super Gravity 2.6in Magic Mary and Hans Dampf tyres to anchor the Newmen rims and XT hubs on even the longest and steepest of descents. Fox's Transfer Factory internal dropper post, RaceFace cockpit components and a Natural Fit saddle put you firmly in control. And, of course, all of this peerless functionality is bolted to the latest all-mountain hybrid frameset with a host of new features. From the semi-integrated seat clamp and 1.5in straight-through steerer to the oversized bearings and chain stay protection with integrated cable routing, it's a masterpiece of elegant, practical design. Cube are particularly proud of the new Modular Battery System, which houses the Bosch power unit inside the sleek down tube behind a shock-proof, dust- and moisture-resistant cover. This brand-new design enabled them to increase the battery's capacity, which means you can ride in the mountains for longer than ever before. It's a feature that Cubes team riders will be making use of - and we're certain that you'll appreciate it, too.
Mountain bike hybrid versatility has a new name, and that name is Stereo Hybrid 140 HPC. Built around Bosch's new, fourth-generation drive system and drawing on the extensive experience of hybrid power, carbon frame construction and efficient suspension kinematics, it represents a new breed of all-mountain e-MTBs. Our engineering team developed a brand-new concept for this frame, building the CUBE Modular Battery System to hide the Bosch power unit completely inside the sleek carbon down tube. A tough cover provides protection and shock absorption for the battery, whilst push-button access and a hidden lock make it both easy to use and secure from unwelcome attention. Even better, the new system frees up enough space for the option of a higher capacity battery than before, which translates to extended range and longer days out in the mountains. The fourth-generation Bosch CX drive unit sits in its own housing, while the aluminium rear triangle features a Boost 148 axle for efficient power transfer, larger bearings for longer life and a linkage designed to fit a trunnion shock. Our All Mountain Geometry is specifically designed to work with the suspension kinematics and Bosch drive system, offering handling that only our fully integrated design is capable of doing - stable, confidence-inspiring and fun. And of course it's chain guide compatible, there's a bottle cage mount for carrying tools or water, and integrated cable routing ensures that gears carry on shifting smoothly with minimal maintenance. Because who wants to spend time fiddling with their bike, when another day in the mountains beckons? All Mountain versatility, redefined: that's the Stereo Hybrid HPC 140.
