Any other Cube Stereo 160 owners?

[Dfowler]

I've already smashed my motor bash plate (got a new one coming) and the transfer seat post has been returned due to something damaging the post below the seal. Apart from that, I'm loving this new eMTB thing

On the bash plate, I'm having one prototyped in carbon so a better alternative will be ready to buy soon (not from me).

Took it to BPW last week and beat some of my best times, didn't expect that with the motor drag.

How are you finding the Cube? I've been agonizing over which eMTB to get and think I like the spec best on the Cube 160 action team. Not overly fussed about the noise from the bosch motor and like the thought of the increased torque it provides along with the auto mode.

 

[Dfowler]

I love it, and I've just got my transfer back. Took a few rides to get used to the weight in corners. Speed is now picking up on technical stuff. I find it's kicking me slightly on large jumps so I need to revisit rebound on the shock again.

 

[Airz]

Your bike looks fantastic I was looking at the Cube and the Specialized Kenevo but the Cube is better specced and I'm not sure I'd need the 180mm travel with the riding I do around swinley forest. I'm currently on a 2013 Trek Remedy 9 so this will be quite a step up for me.

Hey - I have the 160 AT - its awesome, although I do like the stealth look. When you get a link to that carbon bash plate - I'll be ordering one.

 

[Dfowler]

Will do. Cube are sending a free replacement bash plate so that's going off to be the template.

Watching...

I’ve got a Team Action with a knackered bash plate!!!

Another here. Really impressed with the bike. I go downhill better than my regular bike. That was my main concern,and it isn't the case
Some pics

Has anyone tryed a coil or another shock? I think the frame is too linear, bottoming out every ride without big jumps or drops.
Adding more psi,then I feel the rear part too harsh
How about you guys?

 

[Dfowler]

mines been bucking me so ive slowed it but that's just a case of getting used to it, but i've found the right really good. it's not unheard of for fox to get a tune wrong...

 

[Dfowler]

PS should have more on the carbon bash soon

Nice rig. I think you can set up the fork easily til 160/170mm. What brakes are you running,maybe Magura?

 

[Coastsider]

Not a Stereo but here's my wife's new US spec CUBE Hybrid 140, she loves it. Magura 5 brakes, FOX 34, Fox rear air, Nobby Nics, Bosch CX.

Yes mate ! Running MT7’s on this beauty!

Flatted twice the Nobby Nic and thinking in swapping it for a DH casing or setting a system like Huck Norris or whatever
What do you think guys?

 

[Knobby]

On its last legs... Can't seem to get any bike stores/online stores to get me a replacement.

Anyone else had a luck?

I've not flatted the stock tires but I have just converted them over to tubeless to make them more supple and less prone to flats. Only ridden 30 miles tubeless so time will tell how reliable they are.
Regarding the bash plates I might just buy a kit from these guys ( Easy Composites )and make my own out of Carbon before I destroy mine so I can use it as a template.

 

[Dfowler]

Hopefully have an update soon.

My LBS got mine replaced for free from Cube.

I’m loving mine mate,I can’t fault the bike at all, you have made a good choice! I think you was lucky to get a 2018 model as most shops have sold out,and I’m not so keen on the 2019 model either and had my heart set on this as soon as I saw it ! Where did you manage to get yours ? Happy riding and enjoy mate ???

Hah that is awesome! Had no idea they were running low so yeah made up to have gotten it, got it from racecouk.com the guy Paul was incredible, super friendly and really helpful.

Your pedals and grips, can I ask what they are please? The colours make the bike look so much cooler than even the one I've got and its just grip/pedal colour difference, crazy how much of an impact they make visually.

 

[Stray cat]

I am going to put a set of new wheels. DT Swiss XM1501 40mm inner. Hoping not to have fitting issues on the rear

 

[Gofurtherfaster]

Wow, they look pretty sturdy, I honestly know nothing about rim etc, but I bet they are gonna be awesome.

 

[Gofurtherfaster]

The finish too.. is really stunning, generally love them and i bet they cost a pretty penny too.

 

[Dfowler]

I was thinking about some DH carbon wheels but I think I’m going to bend the stock ones first, or destroy the hubs.

Hi mate pedals are nukeproof neutron and grips are what the 2019 models are coming out with SDG slater, the orange is a great match !
