Awesome bike, thanks for the detailed tour.

Got mine there a week ago too. Hadn’t heard about tubliss for bicycles- great idea. We bought two of that variety and a cruiser for my wife- they’ve been awesome!

[@kennytube73]

Not Tubliss...Tubeless, lol. Ive used Tubliss on my dirtbike and that works great too but they dont make that for mtb or EMTB's. Got a flat once, before I got the Tubless installed but havent gotten any since and I've ridden it a lot.

Hi, when you speak about range, the distance is one thing but the most important is the elevation and your weight (also tire pressure, weather conditions ...). With a 500wh on a Bosch performance CX 2nd generation, I made 1800m elevation as a maximum (and around 30km), only in eco mode. I'm 72kg. Have fun on it !

I agree I didn’t buy on price, it just ticks all the boxes and looks great the price is just a bonus, great review mate 👍

[@kennytube73]

Thanks! I was just getting over Covid... so I was out of breath and not 100% there lol. I'll do another updated review pretty soon now that I'm feeling better and have a bunch of miles on it

[@Buwel]

Nice bike dud 😎👌

[@andyadam3620]

i have the exact same only the 2020 model, great bike, never had a problem, the specs are some of the best out there at the price point :) they really need to match the brake lines to the size of model though, they look horrible until you get them tidied up..........one size doesnt fit all !

[@dexterslab9143]

It a good buy out of the box germans is so generous to utilize parts its like nothing to upgrade compare to other competitiors!

[@HADRIAWORKS]

Awesome! Planning to buy a Cube bike from Flyrides as well. Is that paint matte black? Prone to scratches being more noticeable?

[@kennytube73]

Yeah its Matte. Looks great. Not sure if it's more prone to scratches or not. Havent crashed on it yet lol I'll keep you posted

[@kennytube73]

Thanks! Ive upgraded since to a Kenevo Expert. Farrrr better bike

[@nickstevens3139]

Cube’s colours are so industrial looking.

[@kennytube73]

Yes, some are and some are nottt!.. Have seen the Action Team??! 😆

[@dopesneakerman]

How tall are you and what is your inside leg in cm?What is your frame size?

[@kennytube73]

I'm about 6' 1"...or 185.5 cm. It's an XL. The reach is kind of short for an XL on this bike..I think it's around 480? Dont quote me on that tho... I would prefer it with a little longer reach and maybe a slighly slacker head tube angle actually but it works really well the way it is. Love the bike, overall. Recently upgraded the fork with a Grip 2 damper which made a huge difference as well.

[@dopesneakerman]

@@kennytube73 i am 176cm and inside leg is 83,dont know if i should go for size 18 or 20 :/

[@kennytube73]

@@dopesneakerman so around 5'9"? I would say go for the large. Like I said, even the XL has kind of a short reach. A buddy of mine that is 5'6" rode it and said he would probably get the Large, if it were for him

[@thomassiegers3007]

Whut size and how tall are you

[@kennytube73]

Mine is an XL. I'm 6'1". It fits perfectly.

[@emkay1182]

Wwhats the difference between sl & tm?

[@kennytube73]

Same frame, motor and battery but several other big uprgades...Shock, fork and brakes are the main ones. Suspension and brakes are the most important things to upgrade on your bike, especially for higher level, aggressive riding. It's well worth the extra $, unless you're more of a beginner/novice or just dont ride aggressively. I'm actually going to be upgrading the fork even further, putting a Grip 2 damper instead of the Grip 1 and I'll be posting a follow up review at a later date 🤠
