I got a 140TM 3 months ago and love it.I'm just under 5'9" and went for a medium.I tried a large with the bars rolled back and seat forward and that would also have been fine.It feel lovely and planted and as you say inspires confidence.

[@deannalofquist4106]

Gorgeous bikes, excellent video!

[@ginzero]

Made it over to the new shop in Poway today and got to ride the 16" 160 AT on that trail in the back. Fricking awesome..

[@austenczapla8630]

Nothing quite beats the versatility of a 140mm travel 29ner. Let's not forget about that color! Love that they are stepping outside of the box with a few of their color schemes this year. Looking forward to more 2021 Cubes... and more jumps with Scott!

[@FlyRidesUSA]

We gotta hit that route soon!

[@FasterCaster]

6.4 on the 22" Cube Stereo Hybrid 140 Race. Fitting pretty good. Nice Ride. Btw: Nice Vid!

[@krevin2008]

love it planning to have one excited to have one...

[@HectorSalcedo]

Such a super nimble eBike. Climbs like an XC bike, but still handled all the rocks I threw at it. And by that I mean the rock gardens I barreled down in Thousand Oaks. Solid bike for those who don't want to do jumps but want to have a long day in the saddle.

[@FlyRidesUSA]

I'd say that's a pretty perfect summation!

[@nickwebb9290]

I’m 5’6” and have a 2020 Cube Touring Pro in smallest XS size. It’s only just about right but still feels a big big. However it’s a brilliant bike and I am very happy with it. It’s good to hear they’re now seriously thinking about shorter riders with smaller frames in other models such as one reviewed

[@FlyRidesUSA]

I'm usually on XS frames as well, so that sounds about right!

[@ikefazzio]

Great review and a pretty solid price for the value of the build!

[@FlyRidesUSA]

Year after year Cube impresses us with this aspect of their eMTBs. Great builds at great prices!

[@MTBTrailsAroundSurrey]

Cracking bikes but keep an eye on the rear shock cavity on the front triangle. Quite a few cracks being mentioned on cube forums. Im one of the unlucky ones, with 3 cracks on my new bike. Literally cracking bikes ;-)

[@kylerobinson6102]

Amazing video! I've watched it a number of times. What upgrades would you suggest? Is the front fork on this bike "good enough"? Intermediate rider with an average to above average skill level doing generic single track.

[@noaherwin3135]

That 140mm travel looks like more than enough for the average rider. Sweet jumps by the way.

[@FlyRidesUSA]

Totally agree! And thanks Noah!

[@benjamink2654]

I just got one and I can ride it perfectly and I am 12 and 4 foot 10.

[@deanrattigan2451]

Great video man. I have got the 160 HPC on order in the UK got to wait till April for it in small. I am 5'6 so should fit nice with the 27.5 wheels. Cant wait

[@FlyRidesUSA]

Thanks! And you'll love that 160 HPC. Such a great bike!

[@deanrattigan2451]

@@FlyRidesUSA any plans to review it?

[@FlyRidesUSA]

@@deanrattigan2451 I think we're probably going to do a full lineup review of the 2021 160 Stereo Hybrids.

Love your channel can you tell me the location of your park looks rad 🇨🇦🤙

[@robertstuart1546]

Being 5,7 or 170cm i got the 18“ and it feels great for me

[@FlyRidesUSA]

Thanks! I think have a running list of what works for most people's heights will be very helpful.

[@spk8989pl]

I plan to buy my first ebike and I aim for cube stereo hybrid 140 HPC SL 625 29. I plan to do silngle tracks, some light trails and local commute. I am 180cm and 82kg so I picked L size. Is there anything better in this price range?

[@KuRo88]

I think I'll get the 140 HPC SL soon. Already looking forward to it.

[@kylerobinson6102]

Did you wind up getting it? I have been looking closely at a 140 E Bike.

[@KuRo88]

@@kylerobinson6102 yeah I got it and I'm really happy with it. Only thing I didn't like was the saddle, so I changed that.

[@sjaan7370]

Do you have any pics of the XS bike? BB height? My wife is 5'0 and is struggling to get on a emtb. Thanks!

[@Stevo_YouTube]

5'8" on the 18. Fits perfectly.

[@kylerobinson6102]

How do you like this bike? Any criticisms?

[@Stevo_YouTube]

@@kylerobinson6102 love it. not really. only thing I'd upgrade is the suspension to get models I can put tokens in.

[@uncopino]

i’m 5’6” too but i ride small size frames on most brands. never tried cube though

[@kend76]

Is there really much difference between the 2020 and 2021?

[@radicalturkey]

Does anyone know of the tyres are folding or wire bead? Thanks.

[@davedangerous66]

I have a 2020 model in the UK and it had rokshock 35 gold forks. I've now updated them to fox factory e36. Mine also has the kiox display. It has the new gen 4 85nm motor too. Are the differences just UK and USA spec? Cheers Hagar.

[@mlohr1]

This is the race edition and the entry model, what edition of the 140 HPC do you have? Normally gold forks come with the more expensive editions

[@matei_lungu]

Ride stairs on Cube stereo hybrid 140 can be too much for that suspension? If is too much, is Cube stereo hibrid 160 good for twon?

[@simony2801]

What’s the difference between the race and the pro.

[@soliranje]

I have same bike and it is really good. I am 175cm, I usually ride M size, but this one is S size and I ride it without any problem.

[@brianzchuk]

What is your inseam? I'm 5'6" but with hobbit legs...26.5". :( I'm wondering if I would still fit the medium.

[@a.kolokotronis]

this compared to the latest action team..?

[@markfirth783]

I will have to order online with sitting on one. I am 177cm tall. Should I get Med. or Large?

[@jaydee4343]

What trail is this?

[@Fluxburner]

Weird , wonder why they are going backwards with the display here ? The 2020 Race has the Kiox display, which is better than the Purion ? Originally Cube mentioned the new Nyon was going to be on the 2021 140-160 travel range line ? But now I see the Nyon is only on the flagship Stereo's for '21. It's truely a Great Bike, I have the 2020 version, my only gripes are the cockpit is too tight , plus the Bottom Bracket height is too low compared to many other e-mtb's., Cube also need to shave some weight off the bike to catch up with Specialised Carbon frames.

[@fritz2513]

Specialized is twice the price, can't compare them. And those Cube frames last so I wouldn't care.

[@Fluxburner]

@@fritz2513 they are all totally over priced just add an "E" to MTB, and there you go we just made profit they say.

[@Stevo_YouTube]

Anyone know if you can put tokens in the fork or shock?

[@fritz2513]

of course you can

[@kashima3626]

Where is this trail?

[@MartinWeinecke]

Nice video! Frame size is a big question. I‘m 177cm and the calculator says exact 19“. This is also the size for my old hardtail MTBs. But Cube offers only 18 and 20“... what should I choose? I would like to do test drives but shops have not the HPC Race series or others in stock. So I have to order online :-(

[@salzendezupp]

Nimm das 18er wenn du viel Trails / technisch fährst, nimm das größere wenn du eher Touren fährst. Ich hab heute meins bekommen, 20 Zoll bei 184cm, fühlt sich perfekt an.

[@dopesneakerman]

What did you pick?

[@MartinWeinecke]

@@dopesneakerman I have picked the 18“ frame and it fits fine for me 👍🏻 Overall I‘m very happy with the bike and I would chose it again 😍 But yes, my friend has the more expensive 27,5“ wheel size model and he does better in some single trail sections esp. with sharp turns

[@dopesneakerman]

@@MartinWeinecke so it is not tight?do you have some space left? Asking because i order the same bike and i am hight as you are.I am driving at the moment Cube Attention hardtail 2021

[@dopesneakerman]

@@MartinWeinecke oh,and is yours 140 with 29 wheels?

[@ChrisWiles-nu4sk]

We purchased this Vivi 27.5” electric bike and a Tentaquil 26” electric bike for our 13 and 14 year olds. kzbin.infoUgkxUiL0GnyDjP32RJdd660sP8mZk4CRLTCJ The Vivi was much easier to put together. With the Vivi, there was a video link to assist with assembly which made the process easier to follow (we did put the handlebars on upside down, but it was a quick and easy fix). With the Tentaquil, the assembly was not as simple to follow, but after we messaged the company for an assembly video, it was easier and they did respond quickly. The other major differences were that the Vivi has a grip throttle on the right handle (like a motorcycle) and the Tentaquil has a push throttle that you use your thumb to activate. The monitors were also different, so if you’re looking for something specific in terms of changing the bikes functions, pay attention to what the monitor offers. We were really impressed with the overall quality and functionality of both bikes, but if you’re looking for more power and an easier assembly, definitely go with the Vivi!

[@funerwino]

hi, yesterday my wife bought exactly this bike (in austria). The right frame size was a big question mark. The online-calculator says a small (16") frame fits for her (she is 163 cm tall), but the seller in the shop recommended a medium (18") frame. We hope, thats not to large for her. (Btw, my first cube emtb-fully will come in april ;-))

[@abricot68]

You will see

[@funerwino]

@Max Shenk a smaller frame for a better performance on trails sounds logically - in our case the relation trail to tour will be 20 to 80 and therefore the bigger frame will be ok.

[@PanMikolaj]

Why did you skip most of the jumps? You can't do it ?

[@trexabyte9943]

180cm = L (20")

[@misterhartan]

The 2020 Models are better value. Better components and lighter ...

[@misterhartan]

@@minimalcadet If you get one. Yes go for it. Or wait for 2022 Models :)

[@misterhartan]

@@minimalcadet i Would take the 2020. better components. except the fork. but i dont think most of us would notice the difference between a 36 and 38 fox. one weakpoint on the 2020 the shimano freehub. should be cheaper as well.

[@misterhartan]

@@minimalcadet oh my fault. Thought we are talking about the action Team. For the Race get the 2020!
