Stereo Hybrid 140 HPC
Origin
The Stereo Hybrid 140 HPC is Cube's all-mountain trail e-MTB, manufactured by Cube Bikes (Pending System One GmbH) at the company's headquarters in Waldershof, Bavaria, Germany. First introduced in the mid-2010s, the model evolved from Cube's long-running Stereo trail platform and was redesigned in 2023 around Bosch's smart-system Performance Line CX motor (85 Nm, 600 W peak) paired with PowerTube 625 Wh or 750 Wh batteries fully integrated into the down tube. The HPC designation refers to Cube's High Performance Composite carbon front triangle bonded to a hydroformed aluminium rear, a layup chosen to keep cost in check while shaving roughly a kilo over the alloy Stereo Hybrid. With 150 mm front and 140 mm rear travel, mullet 29''/27.5'' option in size S, and Cube's ETC four-link suspension, it is positioned as the brand's do-it-all trail e-bike for European riders.

The verdict
- Strong, confident climbing — the 85 Nm Bosch Performance CX motor plus balanced geometry make technical uphills 'a joy' with minimal saddle repositioning
- Optional Bosch eBike ABS (ABS 750 trim) with Magura MT C brakes delivers outstanding, lock-up-free braking that builds confidence on technical descents
- Stable, planted all-mountain handling that feels assured well beyond what its modest 140 mm of rear travel suggests
- Premium no-weak-links build: carbon C:62 mainframe, Fox suspension and Shimano XT-level drivetrain
- Big 750 Wh integrated battery gives genuine full-day range for European trail riding
- Rear travel (140 mm) has clear limits on aggressive, very rough or bike-park terrain — happier on flowy to medium-rough trails
- Bosch ABS takes acclimatisation and won't suit every rider; it also adds cost and a little weight
- Frame has only a single bottle-cage mount, limiting on-bike hydration on long days
- Limited colourway choice per trim (e.g. single 'Smaragdgrey and Blue' option on ABS 750)
- ~25 kg kerb weight makes it a handful to manhandle and lift compared with lighter trail e-MTBs
