Descending

A solid all-round descender (66° head angle, 140mm) — capable in the rough and steep without being an all-out bruiser.

EMTB Forums verdict
The 2023 Cube Stereo Hybrid 140 HPC is a discontinued all-mountain eMTB built on a C:62 carbon front triangle with an alloy rear end and Cube's FSP 4-Link suspension running 150mm front / 140mm rear. Every trim uses the same Bosch Performance Line CX Gen 4 motor (85Nm, Smart System) fed by an integrated PowerTube battery: 750Wh on most builds, 625Wh on the entry Pro 625 and Race 625. Smaller frames (SM) run a mullet 29in front / 27.5in rear wheel pairing, while M, L and XL are full 29er, with a slack 66 degree head angle across all sizes.
The range is broad. Entry Pro 625/750 builds pair RockShox Recon forks with Shimano Deore 11-speed; the Race 625/750 step up to RockShox 35 Silver, SRAM DB8 brakes and a Shimano XT mech. Mid-range SLX 750 (£4,499) brings Fox 34 Rhythm and a full Shimano XT brakeset. The ABS 750 (£4,799) adds Bosch eBike ABS with Magura MT C ABS brakes. The TM 750 (£4,999) is the aggressive build with a Fox 36 fork, Float X shock, SRAM GX and Maxxis Assegai/Minion DHR II rubber, while the flagship SLT 750 (£6,999) and 29-only SLT 750 29 (£8,399) go Fox Factory Kashima, SRAM XX1 Eagle AXS wireless and carbon Newmen wheels.
Geometry is moderate by current standards (66 degree head angle, 447mm reach in M, 1,221mm wheelbase) reflecting Cube's Agile Trail brief rather than an outright enduro stance. This model has since been discontinued and replaced in Cube's lineup. No verified owner or long-term reliability data is included here, so treat ride-feel impressions from elsewhere with appropriate caution.

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
Wheels
Playfulness
58
A fair bit of pop, but happiest on flowing trail rather than trials moves.
Size balance
91
Rear-long with a planted front in L (FC:RC 1.74) — easy to weight the front and quick to turn, though it can feel light at the back at real speed.
Technical climbing
76
Bosch Performance Line CX Gen 4 and a steep 75.5° 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.
Strong up and composed down — a do-it-all, not a specialist.
The numbers are well balanced for its category.
