Cube Stereo Hybrid 120 2022

From £3,799

The 2022 Cube Stereo Hybrid 120 is an aluminium full-suspension trail eMTB built on Cube's FSP 4-Link four-bar layout, pairing 120mm of rear travel with a Bosch Performance CX Gen 4 motor (85Nm). It is Cube's value-led trail explorer, slotting beneath the longer-travel Stereo Hybrid 140 and 160 and aimed at comfortable, all-day riding rather than aggressive enduro work.The range splits across two battery platforms. The 625Wh frame (Pro at GBP 3,799, Race at GBP 4,099) runs 120mm forks and mixed wheels, with XS/S on 27.5in and M/L/XL on 29in. A new-for-2022 750Wh frame (SL at GBP 4,499, TM at GBP 4,699) adds Bosch's Smart System, a Kiox 300 display, internal cable routing, a dropper post and a 130mm fork, and runs 29in wheels only. The Race stands out as the sweet spot, upgrading to a Fox 34 fork and four-piston Magura brakes over the Pro's RockShox Recon and two-piston Shimano stoppers for GBP 300 more.Geometry is conservative and comfort-focused under Cube's Agile Comfort Geometry: a relaxed 67-degree head angle, a 75.3-degree seat angle, long 490mm chainstays across every size, and reach growing from 427.5mm (XS/S) to 469.9mm (XL). Schwalbe 2.6in tyres and a long wheelbase reinforce the planted, easygoing brief, with the TM gaining grippier Hans Dampf rubber and a SRAM GX Eagle drivetrain.This model year is discontinued. Cube continued the Stereo Hybrid 120 line in subsequent seasons before consolidating its 120mm trail eMTB offering; later versions moved to Bosch's Smart System across the board and revised geometry. Buyers should treat the 2022 bikes as used-market or run-out stock.

Geometry read

What the numbers mean on the trail

Computed from this bike's geometry, spec and build kit — reach, wheelbase, chainstay, head and seat angles, travel, motor, weight and the fork/tyre/brake spec — and worked out per size, because a fixed chainstay can make an S and an XL feel very different.

Size

Setting

Wheels

Descending

A solid all-round descender (67° head angle, 120mm) — capable in the rough and steep without being an all-out bruiser.

Playfulness

A fair bit of pop, but happiest on flowing trail rather than trials moves.

Size balance

Rear-long with a planted front in L (FC:RC 1.54) — easy to weight the front and quick to turn, though it can feel light at the back at real speed.

Technical climbing

Bosch Performance Line CX Gen 4 and a steep 75.3° seat angle keep the weight planted over the front — a proper winch. 600W of peak power and 85Nm of torque — a strong full-power motor.

Best suited toAll-round trail riding across mixed terrain.

No single standout trait — a balanced, versatile bike.

Watch out forNo major red flags in the L geometry.

The numbers are well balanced for its category.
