Stereo Hybrid 160 HPC
Origin
The Stereo Hybrid 160 HPC was Cube's e-enduro flagship, built in Waldershof, Bavaria. It evolved from the analogue Stereo 160 platform, gaining a Bosch Performance Line CX drive unit in 2020 and a fully-redesigned 2023 chassis with a 750 Wh PowerTube battery housed entirely inside the carbon down tube. With 170 mm Fox 38 fork travel up front and 160 mm rear via Cube's Efficient Trail Control four-link kinematic, 27.5'' wheels, and progressive enduro geometry (64.5° head angle, 78° effective seat tube), it was aimed squarely at riders shuttling enduro stages and bike-park days. From model year 2025 Cube replaced the 160 in the lineup with the new Stereo One44 platform that uses Cube's One frame architecture and unifies 140/170 mm chassis under a single name; the Stereo Hybrid 160 was discontinued at the end of MY2025.

The verdict
- Powerful, natural-feeling Bosch Performance Line CX motor paired with a large 750 Wh integrated battery for strong real-world range
- Excellent climber: compact, centred geometry and supple small-bump suspension make technical ascents composed
- Top-tier component spec on flagship builds (Fox 38 Factory GRIP2, Float X, SRAM XX1 AXS, Magura MT7 203 mm) at prices that undercut Specialized/Trek rivals
- Comparatively light for a full-power e-enduro (~24 kg in size L)
- 27.5" wheels give agile, playful cornering on tight, twisty terrain
- Stiff, harsh, unforgiving ride: high-frequency vibration transmits through bars and frame even with high-end suspension (BikeRadar: 2.5/5)
- Conservative 65° head angle is steep for modern enduro — feels nervous and twitchy at speed on steep, rough descents
- Relatively narrow 2.4" tyres with thin Super Trail casing require high pressures and limit grip; under-tyred for an all-mountain claim
- 335 mm bottom-bracket height is high for a 27.5 bike, hurting cornering confidence; combined with geometry it doesn't deliver on the 'big-mountain ready' promise
- Headset cable routing limits headset compatibility and makes brake/shifter/dropper lever positioning very hard to adjust
