I've not tried the bike off-road yet but on riding my local streets which are steep hills they felt fine.
You’ll spin like crazy, but you get used to itI've not tried the bike off-road yet but on riding my local streets which are steep hills they felt fine.
I'd say you will probably find that you will use a lower gear than you would normally on the climbs but you've got a motor so it's all good
It felt perfectly normal in no time
Oh yeah, I should of mentioned that you will need to run more length of seatpost out of the seat tube
What e-bike were you running before?So..
I had my first ever offroad emtb experience this afternoon on the new 177.
OMG, what a gamechanger & what a bike. Super capable & confident on steep rooty trails & handled jumps & drops with ease. Sooo good.
I'm super pleased with the pinnd 145mm cranks. Not a single pedal strike & the standing position is fine. Helps with moving around the bike.
Only issue I has was the battery started rattling back & forth which spoiled the otherwise silent ride. Soon fix that with some foam or rubber insert.
Can't stop thinking of all the new possibilities it will open up with places to ride. Looks like Cwmcarn & Risca trails will be on the cards next weekend

HIWhat e-bike were you running before?
I have the the 145mm Pinnd cranks and still have pedal strikes when I ride aggressively up technical climbs but not on descents fortunately!
Did you upgrade the shock too? I fitted the X2 and it’s excellent. It took a while (trial and error) to set it up but it’s a huge improvement.
Finally, I suggest you get the AVS rock guard like above. Great design, well made and perfect for off piste, hand cut, techy trails.
Mine was £90 delivered (in 3 days) which is pretty reasonable.
Don’t forget to keep an eye on all the linkage bolts!!
Third bent chain? Shifting under full load? Maybe adjust your riding/shifting a bit?
What exactly did you change? The whole chainset?
I removed the XT shifter, XT derailleur, M6100 cassette, Microspline HUB, Chain ring, Cranks and Chain.
Its when you are changing gear, the double shift on the XT shifter is great on a normal bike but not so great when you are fumbling away with Boost mode under your feet on a climb. This is where it gets bent, no where else.
RRP Proguard rear. Size depends on preference your side. All cover what’s mostly required if keeping the bulk of muck off your back and the motor is required.
I found the L a tad too big for my taste, I’m also 1,78 and I chose medium instead.I have decided to retun my bike back to shop after 160miles of riding,I have changed all the parts suspension etc, im 178cm on Large i just can't faind the balance of this bike at all, for straight line charge its fine but for cornering and jumps the balance not there, as well as rear end so much flex, the bike with that price tag will be brilliant but not for me ill go for different brand and more balanced bike when get my money back for now going back to my old rig
I bought mine knowing that the short chainstay and MX setup has its pros and cons; it’s definitely not for everyone. So far I’ve been happy with mine on the trails at my local hill (mostly jumps/flow with some tech) and a tour around the ‘mid-steepness’ (still steep) off piste tech trails at Dimmingsdale. It’s ‘forgiving’ through the tech and still poppy enough for me on jumps. I guess it’s just ‘horses for courses’, but I know it’ll be hard for people to chose if it’s right for them, as Cube don’t give bikes out to the press for testing, so there’s still zero mainstream reviews of the One77 out there to help zero in on whether it’s the right eMTB for someone when compared to many others out there.
Me too. The flexy rear comment is clearly valid for the One55; I bumped into someone a couple of weeks back with a One55 and that rear triangle was very flexible (there’s no brace on the seat stays, unlike the One77). We then proceeded to compare the rear triangle ‘flexiness’ of our bikes and some others, and concluded the One77 rear triangle was pretty stiff compared to other bikes of a similar ilk.
Carbon wheels stiffen up the rear removing one aspect of “flex” from the rear. Having an alloy rear triangle is one of the main selling points points on this EMTB giving it the facility to track and ride far easier than some of the full carbon bikes that as a result are just not very forgiving.
Tyre insert for the rear is very helpful. Outside of that, have fun, get body armour if you can and a full face and try not to bin it

. Doing Forest of Dean on the Wednesday and bpw on the Thursday. Fingers crossed I don’t bin it haha.There are a rear triangle update/swap under warranty, I think.
