Two carbon models from 4199 euros

It goes without saying that Cube also does itself honour when it comes to trekking bikes in terms of value for money. The new One11 is available both in the version shown with a low step-through and with a diamond frame. Although the cheaper of the two available models only costs 4199 euros, the main frame is already made of carbon, which should reduce the weight to a relatively light 26.3 kilograms (factory specification). The rear triangle is made of aluminium.

For 5999 euros, the top model ignites a veritable firework of innovation. In addition to high-quality suspension elements from Fox, it also features the new e-bike ABS from Bosch with powerful Magura brakes and the new XT Di2 wireless shifting system from Shimano. The competition will have to dress warmly!

Conclusion: Cube Kathmandu Hybrid One11

With the new Cube Kathmandu Hybrid One11, the industry giant is taking the next step and launching a full-suspension trekking e-bike for the first time. 110 millimetres of travel, ample 800 Wh battery power and Bosch's Performance Line CX at its heart make it clear: this is all about maximum comfort without range anxiety. The pricing policy is particularly exciting - a carbon frame is available from just 4199 euros, while the 5999 euro top model with Fox suspension, ABS and Shimano's brand new XT Di2 drivetrain is almost high-tech in character. Cube is thus bridging the gap between trekking bike and mountain bike more consistently than ever before - and catapulting the topic of comfort to a new level.
