I just got my first emtb 2024 cube 160 HPC Action Team not had it out as yet few changes being made to remove alot of the orange leaving it grey black and blue but looks alot better! Left the fox 38s orange removed the grips etc for grey vans I'm just scared about the battery as never had an ebike before I haven't a clue what range you get from a 750w! I've replaced the stem for an Equaliser v2 funn and got Burgtec high rise 38s for it to get them carbon bars off, don't trust carbon as it is never mind in bars! But we're going out next weekend on them for a first ride but think I'll take it around the park first see what this battery is like

Great video! exactly what I was looking for, as picked up a cube e-hardtail through 99bikes, which is a great bike but want to be able to push harder through trails and single track, so looking at swapping for one of these. Question, do you think the travel (at least on the front) could be upgraded over time? say another 10-20mm with a different fork? I love the 160, had a quick test ride on the 160SL in a car park, but a bit out of my price range. What i like about the 140 is that the frame is a good building block if you want to do upgrades in the future. I was also tossing around the idea of the 120 Race model, which comes with a higher spec (mainly suspension) but I think that extra 20mm of travel would be worth it. Thoughts?

140 vs 160 for the novice casual rider. With the discounts they are similarly priced, most people might lean towards buying the 160 as it seems like better value. Would you say the 160 is a better purchase or the geometry will be unfriendly for normal riding conditions?

👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 ❤

The recon doesn’t work that well on multi hits. You can juggle the rebound a bit but there is a reason why rockshox has more expensive models. The Deore kit is good.

can this bike be unlocked to a faster speed?
