Cube Stereo Hybrid 120 Race 500 FS Electric MTB 2019 Orange – 11 Speed
No point hiding behind false modesty: the Cube Stereo Hybrid 120 Race 500 is a bit of a legend in its own lifetime, and that's something that we're rather proud of. The combination of exceptional handling and comfort, sleek looks and enough clearance to run tyres up to 2.6in makes this a trail-focused Bosch e-bike to aspire to. To ensure that you're always in complete control, we've kitted it out with a Fox 34 Rhythm fork up front and matching Float DPS EVOL shock at the rear. Powerful hydraulic disc brakes are capable of keeping your speed in check, no matter how much fun you're having. Shimano's smooth, precise 11 speed SLX and XT transmission components mean you'll always be able to find the right gear, while Newmen finishing kit keeps you comfortably on track. And, of course, Bosch's smooth and powerful CX drive has the capability to take your adventures further. The only question is, where will you ride tomorrow?
No-one understands better than our engineers that there's more to building a great Bosch e-bike than making it look good. Sure, the Stereo Hybrid 120 Race has the sleek, understated looks that will fool many people into not even recognising the sophisticated drive system and battery. That's an achievement in itself, but it's more than just good-looking. We've lengthened the head tube and raised the bottom bracket to increase ride comfort and ground clearance, so you can ride further and tackle tougher trails with ease. Bosch's PowerTube concept enabled our engineers to fully enclose the battery and drive unit in a custom, gravity cast down tube. Not only does this protect the entire drive system from the elements and trail debris, but it also creates an incredibly stiff, strong structure. Combined with the 12x148mm Boost rear axle, the tapered head tube and our Agile Trail Geometry, the result is a bike that responds to your every whim with alacrity and precision: comfort and control, redefined. Internally routed cables reduce maintenance and keep gear shifts cleaner for longer, and we even allowed for an easy stealth dropper post upgrade.
