The new names are only the smallest innovation in Cube's E-MTB range for the 2025 model year. Stereo Hybrid 120, 140 and 160 the new e-mountainbike fullys are now called Stereo Hybrid One22, Stereo Hybrid One44 and Stereo Hybrid One77. In addition, the Stereo Hybrid One44 Pro is a new model series that sits between the previous 120 and 140 models. Only the name of the hardtail has remained the same. The Reaction Hybrid is designed to bridge the gap between everyday and off-road use at an affordable price.
Cube presented its 2025 E-MTBs to the public at the beginning of September. However, crucial details about the motor were left open. Now it is clear: the brand new and heavily revised Bosch Performance Line CX MY25 is in the e-bikes. It is not more powerful, but a little lighter and, above all, quieter.
The new batteries are another highlight. The Powertube 800 is lighter than the Powertube 750 of its predecessor - and still delivers more capacity. And the Cube e-MTBs now have a modular battery concept. This is because the smaller and even lighter Bosch Powertube 600 fits into the down tube of the bikes on request. Both variants can be swapped easily and without an adapter.
The higher-priced models all come with the Powertube 800 ex works, while some of the cheaper models are fitted with the 600 battery.
The two new One44 and One77 series are designed for sporty mountain biking off-road and on trails. And both are very different from their predecessors, the Stereo 140 and 160. The most visually striking new feature is the rear shock, which has been moved to a horizontal position under the top tube. This adaptation has already proven itself on the Cube Stereo Hybrid One55 and the Cube AMS Hybrid One44 with Bosch SX motor announced. Cube has thus created a clear visual distinction between the more everyday-orientated E-MTBs One22 and One44 Pro (upright shock) and the new trail machines One44 and One77.
The highlight of the new range is the Cube Stereo Hybrid One77. The new E-Enduro has 170 millimetres of travel at the front and rear. Never before has a Cube e-mountainbike had so much travel. Mullet wheels are also making their debut on an e-MTB from Cube. The Predecessor Stereo Hybrid 160 still rolled on small 27.5 mm wheels. The new E-Enduro now has a rollover-friendly 29er wheel at the front, while a smaller 27.5er at the rear should ensure short chainstays and thus agile handling. The main frame is made of carbon, the rear triangle of aluminium. It starts at 4299 euros >> e.g. available here. The top model is expected to weigh 23.5 kilos.
The Cube Stereo Hybrid One44 is the successor to what is probably one of the best-selling e-mountainbikes of all time, the Stereo Hybrid 140, which most recently sold well. secured the test victory in our large comparison of current all-round e-bikes up to 6000 euros. The classic All Mountain is intended to offer an ideal compromise for most off-road use, from touring to trail riding. It continues to roll on 29er wheels and still has 150/140 millimetres of travel. The aluminium rear triangle has a kickstand mount and is approved for use with trailers. The sporty all-mountain bike with a carbon main frame should therefore retain its all-round strength and everyday practicality. The entry-level model will cost 4499 euros (>> e.g. available here). The top model will be available from 23 kilos.
Cube has come up with a smart connection for a front light for all e-mountainbikes. X-Connect is the name of the system, which is to be fitted ex works on all models from a certain price range upwards. X-Connect has two discreet components: Firstly, an inconspicuous connection for a cable is integrated above the headset bearing shell. The "socket" is connected to the main battery. Secondly, there are two tiny lugs on the stem where special lights from Cube's own brand Acid can be clicked on. The idea behind this: As delivered, the cockpit is super clean. Nevertheless, a front light can be fitted and connected in just a few seconds. Acid offers a good selection for the X-Connect system, from low-cost lights to super-bright headlights.
Cube has two new fullys with aluminium frames in its portfolio for everyday and all-round use. As already mentioned, the One22 Pro and One44 Pro rely on the familiar design with upright rear shock. The highlight of the bikes: the weld seams on the main frame are ground, giving the frame a very high-quality look and making it almost indistinguishable from a carbon chassis. The aluminium rear triangle is prepared for mounting pannier racks and mudguards. The fullys are also optionally available in a fully equipped SUV version.
Both bikes have 29er wheels. The One 44 Pro offers 140 millimetres of travel, while the One22 has 120 millimetres. Even though the range of use is intended to be moderate, all fullys come with a dropper post and four-piston brakes ex works - this promotes riding safety and comfort. The One22 starts at 3499 euros (>> available here) and the One44 Pro at 3799 euros (>> available here).
If you're looking for the cheapest possible e-mountainbike, there's no getting round a hardtail. The new Cube Reaction Hybrid inherits the stylishly polished weld seams from its fully brothers and therefore also has a very high-quality appearance. The classic frame shape relies on 29er wheels and 120 millimetres of suspension travel on the fork. All models are also available with a lowered top tube (also 120 mm / 29 inches) or as a step-through model. The latter then comes with 27.5 inch wheels and only 100 mm travel on the suspension fork. And of course there are also fully equipped SUV versions in all three frame shapes. The entry-level model of the Reaction Hybrid costs 2699 euros >> available here.
The Cube AMS Hybrid One44 is the first Light-E-MTB from the Upper Palatinate company. And fortunately, the e-bike with the Bosch SX motor is actually lightweight. On top of that, the MTB impressed us with its extremely strong price-performance ratio. Cube is now launching a new entry-level model for 2025. The model "Race" is a whopping 700 euros cheaper at 4999 euros as the cheapest version to date. And here too, the equipment is already fully trail-ready and really good overall.
