CUBE Stereo Hybrid 160 HPC TM 625 27.5 Review - .3k

https://electricbikereview.com/cube/stereo-hybrid-160-hpc-tm-625-27-5/ The CUBE Stereo Hybrid 160 HPC TM 625 27.5 is an enduro electric bike with long travel 170mm front 160mm rear air suspension by Fox. Available in four frame sizes and four parts levels, the TM is CUBE’s mid-tier offering. Internal PowerTube 625 battery pack is hidden from view, the weight is kept low and center, the charging port and locking mechanism are well placed. Nimble 2.5" front and 2.4" wide tires offer reduced weight and precise application-specific tread patterns. Premium wheelset, sturdy thru-axles, and Boost hub spacing provide stiffness and strength. Ebike specific SRAM NX 12-speed drivetrain delivers 500% gear ratio for optimal climbs and descents. SRAM NX narrow-wide steel chainring and ethirteen plastic guide prevent drops. Ebike specific quad piston hydraulic disc brakes from Magura are designed to cool fast and function well at high speeds. Unique 203mm floating rotors separate the alloy carrier from the steel rotor, allowing for expansion due to heat. Magura Carbotecture master body reduces weight, piston orientation provides consistent actuation with tool-free adjustable reach levers. Light and compact 4th gen Bosch CX motor delivers an "all in one" eMTB drive mode designed to keep you focused on riding and shifting gears vs. adjusting power settings. The motor controller provides shift detection to reduce chain and sprocket wear. Bosch Kiox display panel provides Micro USB charging, ANT+ wireless for heart rate monitors, and connectivity for the Bosch eBike Connect smartphone app. Drawbacks include high price, non-locking battery cover, charge port positioning, external rear wheel speed sensor.
