2020 CUBE REACTION HYBRID PRO 625 29

[J200George]

Hi all I’m interested in buying one of these bikes. It’s up for sale locally to me.

Not much of a saving from new but it’s barely done any miles.

Will it have the latest Bosch motor and how can I tell?

also would 15” be considered “small” or extra small”?

 

[Zimmerframe]

The easiest visual clue is that the Gen4 motor has a normal sized chainring and the older Gen 2 motor had a tiny little chainring which rotates at a different speed to the pedals.

It will be the new motor. The older gen 2 motor was not available with 625 battery

15 inch is small.

I have 19 inch (large)
Other half has 17 inch (medium)

I'm just under 5'7" and ride a 16" (small) 2020 Stereo Hybrid 160 Action Team

Is this from the latest Bosch motor? Not much of a saving at £2100 but the bike is all but new, think it’s a 2020 though and has a 625 battery.

Yes that’s the latest motor. You may need a software update to activate the 85nm torque but that can easily be done by a local bike shop

Wife and I have Cube reaction hybrids but the older 2019 models with gen 2 motors. Well over 2000 miles each with no issues

Ah I’ve answered my own question. No warranty to second owner. Oh well I guess you pays your money, you takes your choice. Not seeing it as much of a risk mind you in comparison to the specialized bikes and those brose motors. Battery is like new and scanning this thread there are not too many reports of issues. Going to see the bike tomorrow. I’ll hopefully get a short ride to ensure that there’s no obvious issues.

I have the 2021 model and the bikes been great. Good range and I love the Bosch motor. I have had mine since October and I have had no issues in over 800 miles. I have changed the forks for a set that are a kilo lighter and changed the tyres to tubeless so far. You would be saving £500 on a new one (if you can get one), so not to bad.

 

[Beekeeper]

Thinking of changing out the original forks.

Will these do? Only 100mm travel but they are bound to be a good bit lighter. I won’t be doing jumps or significant drop offs just trail riding really.

Check the axle measurements of your current bike.
My cube reaction hybrid race has 15x110 and has rockshox Silver Judy 100mm travel

Wife has the lower spec reaction access with Suntour 100mm travel forks and the axle is also 15x110 so basically a straight swap.

There are a few people on here with Cube reactions who have upgraded to Judy Silver or Judy Gold from the Suntour.

 

[Beekeeper]

The 2019 Cube reaction hybrids don’t even have a lockout feature on the Suntours. Who’s bright idea was that?

 

[Beekeeper]

Proud new owner. The bike is in mint condition. Now to try and decipher the manual…. Is there an app that connects to the Bosch motor? How do I find out of it has the most up to date firmware?

I believe you Turn on, whilst simultaneously holding down the + & - buttons. You can then scroll through the data.
If version 1.1.0.0 or later you have the 85Nm update.
