Cube is an absolute monster. Not in a bad way, but in a big way. While the likes of Specialized and Trek are the bicycle behemoths you come across daily here in the UK, over the channel Cube is a force to be reckoned with. With an ever expanding range (there are over 100 e-bikes, for starters!), there’s plenty to look out for in 2017. Here’s a run-down of some of the most interesting mountain bikes Cube has to offer next year.

Reaction Hybrid HPA SL 500
If you keep up to date with XC bikes, you’ll have come across the Cube Reaction in various alloy and carbon guises, filling a wide range of price points. Love ‘em or hate ‘em, e-bikes are a big thing, especially with our continental cousins, so it’s no surprise that Cube is keen to show off the latest model.

While most e-bike systems either look pretty clunky or are so integrated into the frame that they become hard to access and service, Cube’s new ‘monocoque gravity casing’ manages to offer smoother, better integrated lines with plenty of access still available.
The battery is sunk into the downtube and only 20 percent of the system is outwardly visible — but it remains easily accessible, and you can actually charge the battery while it's still located in the bike. Cube has its own casing for the motor too, which remains a Bosch Performance CX 500Wh version which has a better integrated skid plate.
