AMS Hybrid 177 2026

The Cube AMS Hybrid 177 2026 is Cube's all-new lightweight full-power enduro eMTB, replacing the Stereo Hybrid One77 in the brand's headline slot. Built around the Bosch Performance Line CX Gen 5 motor (120 Nm, 750 W manufacturer-claimed peak, 2.8 kg) — with the top trim getting the new Bosch CX-R race motor — and a carbon chassis with 170 mm front and rear travel on 29 inch wheels. Three trims from £7,499 to £9,999, head angle 64.2 degrees flat across the range, chainstays 443 mm, reach from 450 mm (M) to 505 mm (XL). The community read in one line: a genuinely modern carbon enduro that finally cracks the 22 kg barrier with full-fat Bosch power, and a clear step up from the heavier One77.

Drive system and range. The base TM 600X runs the standard Bosch CX Gen 5 (120 Nm); the AT 600X and Super TM 600X step up to the Bosch CX-R race motor, which keeps the same torque headline but adds a Race mode with a more direct, aggressive throttle response and a higher max cadence. @Ndanger noted the light version was rumoured to weigh 21 kg, and that's borne out by the production claimed weight of around 21.4 to 21.7 kg with the 600 Wh battery. Bosch's free OTA firmware updates via the eBike Flow app and the deepest dealer network in the eMTB market remain the underrated long-term wins.

Geometry and handling. Modern enduro numbers. 64.2 degrees head angle across all sizes, chainstays held at 443 mm (no size-tuning, which is the one place Cube hasn't followed the 2026 trend), and reach progressing 450 mm (M) / 475 mm (L) / 505 mm (XL). The wheelbase grows from 1235 mm (M) to 1302 mm (XL). Full 29er, no mullet option. The 4-bar linkage suspension is shared with the One77 and well-regarded for pedalling efficiency and small-bump compliance — @FlashToBang documented his Fox Factory 38 suspension setup process on the One77 AT, and the same principles will carry across.

Build and value. Three trims, well-spaced. TM 600X at £7,499 lands you the standard Bosch CX Gen 5 motor as the entry point. AT 600X at £8,299 upgrades to the Bosch CX-R race motor and Shimano XT Di2 wireless drivetrain. Super TM 600X at £9,999 takes the CX-R, SRAM XX Eagle Transmission and SRAM Maven Ultimate brakes — the no-compromise spec. The AT 600X is the standout value pick: you get the new CX-R motor and Di2 wireless shifting at £1,700 less than the Super TM.

Community-verified strengths.

• Build quality and value at delivery. @Rando_12345 on the previous One77 SLX: "easily the best deal out there for a Gen 5 bosch" at €4,300 shipped. Cube's direct sales pricing continues to be competitive.
• 2,000+ km long-term ownership reports on the predecessor are positive overall. @deertrackdoctor's 2,000 km check-in on the One77 documents normal eMTB teething issues (loose bolts, battery cradle rattle) but no major motor or frame problems.
• The 21.7 kg claimed weight makes this one of the lightest full-power 170 mm enduro carbon eMTBs on the market — competitive with the Norco Range VLT and lighter than the Specialized Levo 4.

Caveats and known gripes.

• Battery and bolt rattles plagued the One77 predecessor. @Eifice fixed a battery knock with a dish sponge under the cradle and identified loose shock-absorber and suspension bolts. @FlashToBang recommends marking suspension linkage and shock bolts with paint blobs at correct torque — the AMS Hybrid 177 is new for 2026 so it's worth checking these areas during the first weeks of ownership.
• Fixed 443 mm chainstays across all three sizes. By 2026 standards, lack of size-tuning is the one geometry compromise on what is otherwise a modern platform.
• Bosch CX-R race motor is only on the top two trims. Buyers on the base TM 600X get the standard Gen 5 motor, which is still very good but doesn't get the Race mode.

Verdict. The AMS Hybrid 177 2026 is Cube's most exciting eMTB launch in years and one of the most legitimately competitive carbon full-power enduro platforms at this price point. It suits riders who want sub-22 kg full-power, the Bosch ecosystem with the brand-new CX-R race motor on the top trims, and Cube's strong dealer support. Look elsewhere if you want size-specific chainstays, mixed wheels, or DJI Avinox M2S-level peak torque. Production status: current, three trims, AT 600X is the value sweet spot.
