Cube Stereo Hybrid 160 2023

From £3,299

The 2023 Cube Stereo Hybrid 160 HPC is a 170mm-front / 160mm-rear full-power enduro e-MTB built around a C:62 carbon main frame with an aluminium 6061 T6 rear triangle, CUBE's FSP 4-Link suspension and 27.5in wheels front and rear. Every trim runs the Bosch Performance Line CX (Gen 4, 85Nm) Smart System motor, with a fully integrated Bosch PowerTube 750 (750Wh) battery on all builds bar the entry Race 625, which uses a 625Wh pack. Geometry is consistent across the range with a 65 degree head angle, 76 degree seat angle and a fixed 442mm chainstay across all four sizes (S to XL).Pricing spanned a wide spread. The Race 625 (£3,299) and Race 750 (£3,499) paired a RockShox Domain fork with Shimano Deore 12-speed and Magura MT Thirty brakes, while the SLX 750 (£3,999) stepped up to a RockShox ZEB Select and Shimano XT mech. Higher up, the TM 750 (£4,999) and Actionteam 750 (£5,499) moved to a Fox 38, with the Actionteam getting Factory-level Kashima coating, Shimano XT brakes and a Fox Transfer dropper. The flagship SLT 750 (£6,999) topped the range with a Fox 38 Factory GRIP2, SRAM XX1 Eagle AXS wireless shifting and Newmen Advanced SL carbon wheels.This model has been discontinued and superseded by later Stereo Hybrid 160 generations. There is no owner-reported reliability or ride-feel data captured in this dossier, so the assessment is limited to the published specification.

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

Descending

A solid all-round descender (65° head angle, 160mm) — 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

Balanced front-to-rear in L (FC:RC 1.84) — weight sits evenly between the wheels.

Technical climbing

Climbs well — a 76° seat keeps the front planted. 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.
