Build Quality and Value
The Cube Stereo Hybrid One44 2025 is a well-built bike that delivers on everything you actually need, offering excellent value for money. While the color and size options are limited, this is reflected in a highly competitive list price.
The build quality is good overall. The available component builds are a solid choice for all budgets, and the bike's honest price makes it a very compelling option. The geometry isn't right for everyone, but if it fits your riding style, you're getting a lot of bike for the money.
Frame and Components
The frame of the Cube Stereo Hybrid One44 2025 is very well-made and specific to this e-MTB range, even if it's not the lightest. The test model we rode weighed over 24.4 kg, but with a list price under €5,000, its technical features are practically unbeatable. At this weight, we think an aluminum frame would have been just as good, but the carbon construction is well-executed.
The range of component builds is extensive and suitable for every rider and budget. While there's a heavy reliance on Cube's own components, they are more than solid. The Bosch motor and battery are a reliable powerhouse, and the rest of the parts are more than good enough.
Comfort and Handling
The comfort of this e-bike is top of the market. Once you dial in the suspension, there's nothing to complain about. It's truly a plush ride. The Cube Stereo Hybrid One44 2025 is also very intuitive, easy, and predictable to handle. It's a great e-bike for beginners and still a valid option for more experienced riders.
It's very easy to ride on flat terrain and truly shines on descents—it's agile, fast, and has excellent dynamic performance. At high speeds, it requires a bit of experience, but it always remains easily controllable. On climbs, the electric motor helps a lot, though you do feel the weight. The geometry ensures good rear wheel traction, with only slightly light steering on the steepest ascents.
The fork and rear suspension work well, and the braking is safe and effective. Overall, the handling is very easy and intuitive. You'll only run into trouble at very high speeds or when demanding the absolute maximum from the frame.
Performance and Pros & Cons
Even if the overall weight isn't low, the general performance is absolutely competitive. The Bosch motor guarantees plenty of power for even the most difficult and technical climbs. Downhill performance is excellent, with no noticeable differences compared to heavier or more expensive competitors. On flat ground, the only real limitation is the suspension travel, but performance is in line with the competition.
Overall, there are no substantial differences compared to more expensive e-bikes. It weighs a bit more, it's true, but in practice, this Cube goes and performs just as well as competitors that cost twice as much.
The Cube Stereo Hybrid One44 2025 is a solid e-bike, even without particularly refined technical solutions. Its biggest strength is its performance, which remains competitive against any rival despite its weight.
Pros:
Incredibly competitive price.
Excellent performance on all terrain.
Exceptional comfort and intuitive handling.
Reliable Bosch motor and battery.
Cons:
Limited sales network.
Few sizes and colors are available.
It's not a lightweight e-bike.
