According to official market data, only three per cent of mountain bikes sold in Germany are now motorless. It’s no surprise, then, that Cube is significantly streamlining its range in this segment. Fans of classic MTBs, on the other hand, have reason to be delighted that the German cycling giant is launching a major wave of new products in this very sector. Virtually the entire range of full-suspension mountain bikes is set to be completely revamped for 2027 at Trail-Head.
From trail bikes to enduro and downhill bikes. And there have been plenty of changes to the naming scheme too. Instead of various Stereo models (One22, One44, One55 and One77), the new bikes are now called Stereo, Fritzz and Two15. OK, the downhill bike was already called that. In any case, the structure is now pretty straightforward and clear.
Stereo – the trail bike
The New Cube Stereo (more details and pictures here) is designed as a versatile full-suspension bike to combine the features of the previous Stereo One22, One44 and One55 models and cover virtually all riding scenarios, from fast touring and downcountry to challenging trail and all-mountain riding. The model range starts at 1,999 euros and, even in its entry-level range, features a carbon main frame and specifications designed to impress even in serious mountain biking use.
The technical basis is a newly developed chassis with 29-inch wheels, 150 millimetres of suspension travel at the front and 145 millimetres at the rear. The main frame is always made of carbon, though it comes in two quality and weight categories. On the two more affordable of the four models, the rear triangle is made of aluminium; unlike its predecessors, the shock is mounted horizontally beneath the top tube. Other features include a tool mount on the top tube, a storage compartment in the down tube and the option for traditional cable routing. According to the manufacturer, the top-of-the-range SLT model is expected to weigh from 13.6 kilograms and cost 5,499 euros.

Fritzz – the Enduro
The name Fritzz is a familiar one in the Cube range. Now the enduro bike is back with a modern high-pivot design. The full-carbon frame offers 170 millimetres of travel at the front and rear; alongside the chain guide, the semi-integrated derailleur hanger is a striking visual feature. The Fritzz comes as standard in a mullet setup, but can also be converted to full 29er via interchangeable dropouts. As with its little brother, the Stero, the frame features a tool mount on the top tube, a storage compartment in the down tube and the option of classic cable routing without headset integration. The head angle can be adjusted from 63.8 degrees to a very moderate 64.4 degrees via rotatable bearing cups. Two positions for the shock mount alter the rear suspension progression, thereby preparing the bike for steel-spring shocks as well. Both variants come with air shocks as standard.
The Fritzz is available in two models, priced at 2,999 and 4,999 euros respectively. The Top-of-the-range Super TM model features a Rockshox Ultimate suspension system, SRAM X0 wireless gearshift and Maven brakes.

Alongside the high-pivot kinematics at the rear, what sets this bike apart is its extensive geometry adjustment. The bottom bracket can be locked into two different positions. This allows the balance between the front and rear wheels to be adjusted to suit personal preferences or the terrain. Furthermore, the reach can be adjusted via eccentric bearing cups in the head tube.
Two trim levels are available, priced at 2,999 and 3,999 euros respectively. The Entry-level model with RockShox suspension, which Top model Featuring Fox Factory.

Stereo Hybrid One44 with Avinox – the newcomer to the e-bike scene
Cube is expanding its e-MTB range for the first time to include models with the Avinox M2S drive system.

Cube has opted for a new carbon main frame with an aluminium rear triangle, 150/140 millimetres of suspension travel, 29-inch wheels and a removable 800 Wh Avinox battery.
