2021 Cube Reaction Hybrid Performance 500 eMountain Bike

[Cube_Jon]

Hi Guys

I need to get back into riding for my own health and mental health....

I want an E Bike for trails, some red over Cannock Chase but don't do jumps - Im 22 stone.......

Would this be stupid of me to invest in? Should I go for something else especially not a Hybrid?

Hi Jon, can you please convert the 22 stones for me? In kg if possible.

140kg

140kg

Thank you!

According to Cube, the maximum structural weight of those frames is 135kg. This includes the bike, the rider, any backpacks and accessories like lights, waterbottles, etc
So you will be way above that. I will look for their official weight guide but I think that Cube has no model above 145kg for this year. So its a no go.

It will be a quest, and you should start communicating with manufacturers to see their suggestions.

German brand Reise & Muller is a good candidate as they overbuild everything (and have some MTBs in their model line) but I think even they declare a total system weight around 155-160 on their heavy duty configuration.
Might be even less than that this year. And they are very very expensive

Thanks for the feedback, such a shame because they look really nice bikes!

Update from R&M: they too have lowered their declared gross weights to around 140kg for the non-cargo bikes.

Check out the Watt Wagons Hydra. Its CF frame is built to hold a 325-lb (23-stone) rider.
