I can only think of a few reasons, delays with fox 38's or to maximise production that are doing all the 140 first then moving onto 160 and treat them as 2 batches.What could be reason for those 160 delays?
Cube 2022
- Thread starter roccobarocco
- Start date
not every model is assembled with fox 38´s. Maybe frame prodution in delay.

The reign was in stock just needed building just found out after it was built the motor is DOA so further delay for a new one my luck at the moment is shite.

How bloody annoying for you.
Hope the wait for a new motor isn't too long.
Still very doubtful about 160's starting shipping next week but great if that is the truth. As has already been mentioned, you'd think someone from Cube would have read this and decided to actually try and explain the delay rather than leave it to us to guess.
I'm assuming there are still people waiting for 140's to be delivered?

I was told early june from my lbs for the 160sl and mine was a very early order so who knows still no sign of a video or release on youtube so doesnt look imminent.

Jejames has a 2022 140 action team in stock if anybody is looking
Its easy. Don’t overthink it. 140 is for xc and enduro. 160 is full enduro and way to sloppy for xc. I have the 140 myself i will never need more for the jumps and drops i do. We always think we need more. But that most off the time not the reality.
Indeed; now i had the 140 SL for several weeks, coming from only XC acoustics: compared to my current Spark (110mm front) it feels very damped, confortable and more stable. Not really a XC bike (other than for the weight, of course).
I suppose for more extreme enduro the 160 will be better, but i also suppose that some people think they need it when they actually don't. And it's always a trade off: more travel is not always better. I also like 29" wheels more for how and where i ride.

I did it. 2022 Cube Stereo Hybrid 140 TM is now in my possession. An obligatory pic of it (from the store)
It's the first 29er bike I've owned. Feels fairly roomy and I expect it to be quite stable! I feel I've made the right choice now.
I've had it invisiframed and made tubeless. It's ready to go. Of course now the weather here in the UK is awful. Not sure when I'll actually be able to get out properly on it yet. Cheered myself up further however and ordered some new mtb clothing!

Hi, I talked with my LBS and got an info the bike (160 sl) will be on March/April, but when I look over internet the most dates are on may or june and not sure if they are up to date. Do any of you already have your 160, or expect to have it soon ?
?

As far as i know there are no 160 sl 750 bikes in the country and none even shown on youtube which is usually an indicator tjat bikes are being delivered.
My order was placed in september and the latest was it was due in june.

I was told by my LBS (0n 6th Jan 22) that the bike is due week 13, which is end of March beginning of April, I will be amazed if it actually arrives then, but you never know.Hi, I talked with my LBS and got an info the bike (160 sl) will be on March/April, but when I look over internet the most dates are on may or june and not sure if they are up to date.

Thanks - no I haven't weighed it - Cube site says 24.6kg. It's a size large.
I was lucky enough to be able to try both a M and L for size in the store. I'm towards the top end of a medium and at the start of a large. I am 179cm tall. In the end the reach of the large for me felt perfect. I like a larger bike. The dropper post being a 150mm at full extension on the large fits perfect for me when fully inserted into the frame - quite lucky!

I'm 6ft and have ordered a large so I hope it's not going to feel too small?

I think you'll be just fine unless you have Mr Tickle arms.
I'm right at the start of a large. Any shops nearby with 140's on you can sit on and try for size? Reach numbers are on the Cube site - bear in mind the 160's all have a slightly larger reach than the 140's. If I had a 160 I'd be on a medium.

Sounds like I got it about right then.
Measured all the geometry on my current bike and if anything it sounded slightly longer on the Cube....if it ever arrives

Hi guys, in case any of you are looking for a 2022 Cube ebike I'm selling mine - its a Stereo Hybrid 140 HPC, Medium, 29" wheels and 750wh battery. Done less than 40 miles and looking at £4000 - need a quick sale due to unplanned house move.
Check the Bike/Parts for sale section or my advert on Pinkbike.
Cheers
