Cube Elite Hybrid C:62 Race 500 29 2016 - Electric Bike
We combined a perfect shape with maximum performance in this carbon e-mountain bike. The Elite Hybrid C:62 race combines probably the lightest and most advanced e-MTB 29er frame with a selection of high quality components to make a bike that's quite simply ahead of its time - in both looks and function. Winner of multiple tests and awards - including the Eurobike Gold Award and the sought-after Dot Design Award - it's an innovator with the power to impress.
Frame
This dynamic-looking carbon frame sets new standards in lightweight construction, stability and strength when compared to aluminium counterparts, weighing in on average 1kg less. As well as taking the time to position the motor unit for optimal propulsion (ODP), we were able to fit the battery into the ideal location in the downtube. Our special protection shield means that it's securely attached inside the frame, where it's protected against shocks and damage. Details like the tapered head tube, chainstay-located disc mount, optional internal dropper post and X12 rear axle are borrowed directly from our top end carbon frame. They all contribute to this exceptional bike's poise and precision.
Components
Shimano's brand new 1x11 transmission, with its 380% gear ratio spread, is the perfect companion for an e-bike like this. The I-Spec cockpit, ShadowPlus rear derailleur and powerful Deore brake system are also superb additions to the C:62 Race 29. The Manitou Minute air fork - with remote lockout - tames even the toughest of trails. Answer's Atac MA29 wheels, with their optimal rigidity/weight ratio, offer blisteringly good acceleration and amazing durability. And, of course, we had to fit the best possible high performance e-drive. Currently the most powerful e-bike motor available, the Bosch CX is supported by a 500Wh battery for the best possible range.
Agile Ride Geometry
We ran innumerable tests to develop the Agile Ride Geometry in our series of big wheel bikes. We also added the 27.5in wheel size to the very well received portfolio. Three important details lead to the very agile character. Increased fork offsets let us achieve the same trail as our 26in bikes without having to steepen the head angle, thus maintaining generous toe clearance to the front wheel. Secondly we shortened the chain stays without compromising the seat angle. We invented a patented construction to mount the front derailleur to give us more tyre clearance while keeping a conventional seat angle, leading to a perfect riding position for every rider size. Last but not least we kept the BB height the same as on our 26in bikes. These measures lead to a natural riding position. Every mountain biker will feel immediately at home on a CUBE 29er or 27.5.
Integrated Cable Routing
Internally routed cables offer many advantages. Cables are protected from dirt for longer life, weight is saved thanks to the absence of external housing and the bike has a clean, sleek appearance.
Integrated Post Mount
The post mount rear brake system is found on all carbon fiber frames and top aluminum full suspension models. Two bolts and the IS adpater aren?t needed anymore, and fewer parts means less weight. In this case we save 30 grams. This may not sound a lot. But there's potential to save weight in every detail.
