Even if Covid era ends before 2022 (that I don't believe it will be possible) according to all info gathered from my cycling sources, whoever has not placed an order earlier this year, is looking directly to early 2022 models (around summer 2021) with a possible availability next spring/summer...

Brose reliability has been a hit or miss and I don't like that on a premium product. Not when others are on a much better level.

What I can safely say is that by using the Bosch CX Gen4 on a Cube FS bike I could climb whatever I can on my ultralight 9.5kg carbon hardtail even faster and smoother. Torque or power will never be not enough with a motor of that level and design. Correct gearing is always the key. The motor...

It's all about USABLE power and smoothness. No add-on system will ever reach the completeness of a system designed to work as a whole from a single serious manufacturer. They have control over every motor aspect and their close bicycle manufacturers work on frame geometry, weight distribution...

I think the sensor is internal to the motor and has no external parts. Don't expect miracles, it just eases off part of the support under heavy changes. You cant feel it actually. If you want long life on the transmission components you still have to ease of pedaling on each change when under...

Cube's size calculator suggests an XS even for ~168cm and more. Height alone is not enough for a firm sizing but I can tell you that the size of the bikes is quite big and the front end sits quite high. My opinion is that they could have an XXS too, especially on the Trapeze and Easy-entry...

These Cube Hybrids run on the big side! For a normal human around 165cm and below I cannot imagine riding a Small. The XS is already quite big for my friend (162cm) and a lower/shorter stem and narrower handlebars are in the plans for the future. As for her decision, she was between the...

If they fail to adjust the gears on the first service of a new bike I would probably steer away from them and find another bike shop I can trust :)

A short friend of mine had bought one recently. Touring One 400 2021 with the trapeze frame on the smallest size available. I guess I can relay any questions to her.

Great idea, I agree! Lowering is probably something I never think about as I am tall and usually have difficulties finding bike sizes for me.

Nice bike and story! And that bright Nishiki pannier is 😍 I was on a similar situation a few months ago with very limited riding (for more than 5 years) and with the addition of my ebike I have now done more than 2000km and my fitness level can be compared to my teen years!

Well executed and presented! Enjoy your new addition! Out of pure curiosity; why do you need a dropper on a bike like this?

There are exceptions! Many Cube eBikes available or soon to be available. This is the store I used to buy my own Touring EXC. https://www.mhw-bike.com/e-bikes/touring-bikes/touring-e-bikes-men/?p=1&o=2&n=36&s=1

The Nature One model comes with the ALP. The photo is wrong as they used one of the higher spec Nature models. The frame is exactly the same on all. Always trust the written specs, not the photos :) The cost difference between the One 500 and the EXC 500 is minimal (~200 euro) and you get an...

You will be more than fine with both the ALP or the Gen3 Performance Line. I have extensively tested the first and ride the latter since mid October. I live in a mountainous/hilly area and I was OK with both. The less torque of the ALP will make you choose you gear with more precision, and...

No, they are different Geometry wise too. The Touring model is longer both on wheelbase and reach.

For ~400 more I would actually buy my model! 625 battery, Intuvia Display, integrated rack, 12 speed gearing, better lights, much better brakes (especially the front with the 4piston caliper).

No it will not! I will check the detailed specs later tonight and spot the major differences. Will you buy the Allroad version of 2021?

In its almost current setup:
