Cube 2022

[Hanzzzie]

That really is about the best looking ebike out there.
Shame I can't afford one.

if it wasn't for the leasing i could not eighter...

it'll cost me 81 eur for 3 years and then buy off of 1450eur...
i can prolly sell it for 2.5-3k in 3yrs to recuperate a bit of the money as well

It looks even better in the flesh too

Yeah. Looks like an absolute beast, damn
What is actually the extra bit on the rear damper?

Was looking to replace my existing 2020 160 HPC with the 160 Action Team, but having been in regular contact with my LBS, i've given up and going for the Reign E+0 instead. LBS tell me Bosch have production problems sourcing parts for the 750w battery, hence the delay. They also mentioned 17% extra charge shipping into UK after brexit. Not sure how true that is, but for sure the 160 Action Team with the 750w battery is a rare beast

 

[Choppersquad]

Judging by the current situation I think any 160’s are going to be rare beasts.

 

[Chris ledger]

More chance of a cut in gas prices than a cube 160 sl 750w

 

[Choppersquad]

I think Giant might do alright out of the Cube shortage.

 

[Hanzzzie]

Can get my actionteam this week.
Woopwoop

 

[Chris ledger]

Giant are getting my money hoping to pick mine up this week

 

[Hanzzzie]

meh, order is in with the LBS, now they need the delivery docs from leasing and i can collect it, hopefully before the sunny Belgium weekend

 

[Hanzzzie]

My bike is HOME!!! can't wait till 4pm after work to drive the first KM's
IT'S SO SEXY, I'M GONNA DIE!!!!

 

[Hanzzzie]

if anyone figured out how to connect a BLE HRM to the KIOX300 let me know please.

[Chris ledger]

Not possible on the 300, it seems.

Not possible on the 300, it seems.

So that is a downgrade from the previous kiox

 

[ckay76]

I've heard ot of these features will be available with future updates. Komoot isn't available for it either.

 

[Hanzzzie]

No more new...

 

[D_Ch]

Looks like fun! Sure I'm still having a blast with mine (sl) after a few hundred km. Enjoy!

What are your thoughts after the first ride then Hanzzzie?

My stamina is way too low

Its great!!
Only dislike is the speed limit

It was the same for me at first, but I'm getting used to it. On 4th smallest gear i get about 92 rpm around the cutoff speed. I find the cut pretty smooth and not jerky, so to cruise right around there is not bad. And it's not a road bike anyways; 25 km/h on trails is quite fast. 32 would be good though, as in the US.

Yeah. Never rode an emtb. Last mtb ride was about 5yrs ago when i had to stop due to knee pain. Havent gotten on a mtb since...

First time with the test bije i did 45km. Today i was dead after 25. But my fault was that it was 4hrs past lunch and i didnt eat alot then... no snack before or during...
I struggled to get down the stairs so leg day succeeded

Also encountered a massive thorn bush which i saw too late so enter battle scars on my lower leg...

 

[Hanzzzie]

Hope this range is a lie haha

Hello, Who is waiting for the hybrid 160 750 sl? does anyone know when the first deliveries begin?

 

[Hanzzzie]

so second ride today, was super busy this weekend...
Range is still an odd one... had a 22km ride with 160 alti gain. used 40% battery (Edit: EMTB mode)
is this normal?
if i put the bike off, i do feel a huge resistance too when pedaling, almost impossible :s

Other 'negative' thing i found is that controlling the screen/power is a bit cumbersome, the buttons aren't placed very ergonomically, you have to think and reposition your hand in order to press the button. not natural.

 

[D_Ch]

If in turbo, i suppose it's what you get. There is a huge difference in range using turbo.

forgot to mention, i use EMTB

 

[D_Ch]

Then it doesn't sound right. Have no idea what can be.

maybe the range just needs to 'set' a bit? not sure how i can get it more accurate, prolly drain the battery completely when riding or so?
hope to get on a bigger ride on friday/saturday, only could ride for about an hour / hour and a half untill now
