Cube Stereo Hybrid One77 HPC SLX 2025 vs Specialized Turbo Levo Comp Alloy 2025

[martyfrommonmouth]

Hi - I'm after a bit of advice if anyone has any!!

I am trying to choose between the two bikes above.

The Specialized is actually more expensive overall as I get an additional 15% off the Cube if I purchase via my work scheme (as the Specialized is already discounted I can't get the extra discount).

Apart from the Specialized branding premium and slight price difference (once you factor in the extra 15% off on the Cube) has anyone got any thoughts about which bike is the superior choice?

Also bear in mind I may sell the bike in 2/3 years time and upgrade and I think the Speialized might be easier to sell.

I'm quite an experienced rider and by all accounts the Specialized bike is well reviewed and top in some tests. The Cube is unknown. I have seen some people dismiss them entirely and others say they are great bikes.

Any thoughts or advice to help me choose would be appreciated.

Thanks

Well, everyone has their own opinion, I have a Turbo Levo Comp Alloy since 2022, and I love it, I have around 6k km, and I have nothing bad to say. But in today's market if I had to choose between those 2 I would go for the Cube with 800Wh battery, it has a refreshed motor and battery from bosch, that Specialized is not updated since 2022 ...

Ok that's interesting to know. I can't really find any reviews of the Cube though which is weird. But maybe I'll go for it.

The spec is very good for the price although I'm not sure if carbon is a pro or a con as I've heard horror stories regarding it cracking.

Specialized have lifetime frame warranty, Cube has 3 years.

My stereo hybrid is a 2023 model,carbon frame,had it two years with no issues,it gets abused on a weekly basis in wales and has performed flawlessly,but i did junk the crap newmen wheels on purchasing it and had some wheels built for it to my spec,got rid of the rubbish rockshox silvers and replaced them with domains which imo are way better.
the only downside of cubes in the awful integrated acros headset,but i have modified mine with nukeproof parts which are a better quality.
