AMS Hybrid ONE44 2024
How current the bike is — newer chassis, motor and battery score higher. 10 = brand-new, 0 = legacy.
The Cube AMS Hybrid ONE44 C:68X was the German brand's first ultralight Bosch-powered trail eMTB, built around a C:68X carbon frame with 140mm of FSP 4-Link travel front and rear, 29in wheels and the then-new lightweight Bosch Performance Line SX motor paired with a fixed 400Wh CompactTube battery (PowerMore-ready for a 250Wh extender). Claimed weights ranged from 16.2kg for the flagship to 18.4kg, undercutting most full-power rivals.
Four builds were offered. The SLX at £5,499 was the value pick, with a Fox 34 Performance fork, Shimano XT 1x12 and a Cube alloy dropper. The TM (£5,999) added a Fox 36/Float X Performance chassis, SRAM GX AXS Transmission and Magura MT7 brakes. The SLT (£7,499) was the lightest, leaning on a Fox 34 Factory fork, Shimano XTR, carbon Newmen wheels and a Fox Transfer SL post. The range-topping Super TM (£7,999) combined a Fox 36/Float X Factory chassis, SRAM XX AXS Transmission, Magura MT Trail Carbon brakes and aggressive Maxxis Assegai/Dissector rubber for the most descent-focused setup.
Geometry was consistent across the lineup with a 450mm chainstay at every size, an angle-adjustable ACROS headset offering 65.4 or 66.0 degrees, and reach growing from 429mm (S) to 501mm (XL). It reads as a balanced modern trail bike rather than an enduro sled, matching the light, lively brief.
This 2024 model is now discontinued, superseded by later C:68X ONE44 variants in the ongoing AMS Hybrid range. UK availability is limited to remaining stock.
