The wind was HOWLIN' out there at Rocky Peak! Apologies for the extra wind noise, a better microphone cover is on the way as we speak! As for the CUBE 160 SL, I have to say it was refreshing to be out on a full 27.5 again. The front end felt incredibly light and I was able to direct the bike through corners with ease. As far as the 29 vs 27.5 debate goes, there are a few topics, most spoke about being the rolling capabilities. A 29er will roll easier through chunky terrain but on the flip side it will not change direction and maneuver as easy as a 27.5 will through that same terrain. Case in point 2:20! While the 29er might push through easier, it's harder to change direction if you fall off line. The 27.5 definitely saved me in this ride review ha! Overall, if you're looking for a long travel eMTB, the 160 should be on your list to test. The full 27.5 platform will not let you down!
As a CUBE Stereo Hybrid SL 160 owner, I can say that this bike eats everything I throw at it. Nimble on tight turns and the Maxxis tires it comes with gives plenty of confidence over rough terrain. I ride every eMTB we sell, and there’s a reason why I purchased this for myself. I love my CUBE!
Es bueno leerte Héctor, en Cataluña me dicen que no me compre Cube porque " quien la va a reparar" y lo segundo que me dicen : " golpe mucho el motor al suelo, mporque es muy baja y recuerdo haber medido otras y todas están en tonro a 31 cms desde el suelo... no lo sé.-
You guys keep doing this to me, I really can’t decide what bike to get next and then you give me another option. Pretty sure I am driving Will crazy. 🤪

And a “woohoo” to you too Austen! Great video!
I’m in two minds to buy this or get a trek remedy 9.8 🫣

Beautiful riding Austin. I personally still like riding the mullet set up I have on my bike.

Great review! I know my guys still prefer 27.5"
Solid looking bike!
Hi dude I just bought this bike I love it I ride it on all the steep tech dh stuff it feels amazing
between the stereo hybrid 160 and 140, what would you choose for an allrounder?
I have the action team version, not a fan of the fox factory 38’s if I’m honest.
What size is this bike in video
It looks like a Large friend.

Just cocked my leg over a large size, and it fits me perfectly. I'm only 5.10 with a 29 inside leg.
