Our Review Of The 2025 Cube Stereo Hybrid One44 HPC TM

The 2025 Cube Stereo Hybrid One44 HPC TM has arrived at The Ark Cycles, and it’s clear Cube didn’t hold back on this one. Built for serious trail riders, this E-MTB combines cutting-edge tech with superb trail-handling capability. Let’s dive into why it’s worth considering—assuming you don’t get too tongue-tied saying its full name...

The Build: Rugged Yet Refined

First impressions? This bike looks like it means serious business. The carbon frame (C:62 Monocoque) is lightweight yet really robust, paired with an aluminum rear triangle to keep things flexing in the right ways. Cube’s Stereo Hybrid One44 geometry ensures the bike is nimble enough for technical sections but solid enough to blast enduro descents with utter confidence.

The internal cable routing gives it a sleek, tidy appearance, and of course, the integrated battery keeps everything looking seamless.

At 24kg, it’s not the lightest full-power E-MTB out there, but it’s built to take a real beating and still feels playful on tighter trails. 

Bosch Smart Power System

The Bosch Performance Line CX motor is an industry gem. With the Smart System onboard, you get smooth, efficient power delivery. 

The Bosch display is clean and straightforward, keeping you informed without being a distraction while riding.

Solid Suspension Platform 

Fox delivers once again with the 36 Float GRIP fork and Float X Performance shock. With 150mm of travel up front and an adjustable rear shock, the Stereo Hybrid One44 is perfectly suited for rocky descents and rooty climbs. Cube’s Efficient Trail Control and FSP 4-Link design work together to keep traction high and bobbing low, making for a smooth ride even when things get rough.

Drivetrain & Brakes

Sram’s GX Eagle Transmission is as good as it gets—precise, wireless shifting that doesn’t miss a beat, even under load. It's really a case of set and forget and we've had no issues with the Sram Eagle set up on this bike. Paired with a 10-52T cassette, it makes climbing steep trails feel less like torture and more like a fun challenge you can conquer with ease.

Stopping power is top-tier, thanks to Magura MT7 hydraulic brakes with massive 203mm rotors.

Wheels & Tyres

Newmen Beskar wheels are tough and tubeless-ready, while Schwalbe Magic Mary (front) and Big Betty (rear) tyres ensure top levels of grip. The 2.4" width strikes a nice balance between cushioning and control, perfect for tackling anything from loamy singletrack to loose, rocky Welsh enduro trails.

Any Downsides?

Value for money, Cube is pretty unmatched in this industry. The level of specification you get it with this Cube E-MTB I'd expect to be looking at a bike £7k plus not an RRP of £5,499.

It's still not a particularly affordable E-bike despite it being very good value for money. For a cheaper option explore the Cube Stereo Hybrid One44 HPC Race for a great sub £4k E-MTB.

Verdict: A Bike to Remember

With its robust build, excellent suspension, and high-tech motor system, the 2025 Cube Stereo Hybrid One44 HPC TM is a trail-dominating weapon. It’s a bike that inspires confidence on the ups and downs!

Sure, the name might be hard to remember, but the ride quality is unforgettable. If you’re after a high-performance Cube E-MTB that can handle everything the trail throws at you, this bike deserves a top spot on your list.

Would I buy one? Yes! But if only I could remember that full name…

See you on the trails!
