The SUV Hybrid Pro combines progressive design with urban mobility. It's our answer for anyone looking for an active but environmentally friendly urban lifestyle. With a multifunctional frame and high quality features, it's the perfect modern solution for stress-free transport in the city: no more timetables, traffic jams or looking for parking spaces.
The double butted aluminium Superlite frame has been optimised for use in the urban jungle in every detail - light, stiff and technically advanced in spite of its discreet appearance. And, of course, it also offers the light and nimble ride experience that characterises all CUBEs - a product of its complex construction with an optimal rigidity-to-weight ratio, carefully considered motor and battery mounting positions (ODP) and CUBE's much-admired Agile Ride Geometry (ARG). The 3D forged dropouts with integrated IS-mount for the rear brake contribute to the clean looks, and luggage rack attachment points add everyday practicality to the mix.
The urban jungle can be unforgiving. That's why we've equipped the SUV with a comfortable Suntour XCR AIR LO-R suspension fork and Schwalbe's voluminous Super Moto-X Kevlar tyres - so that cobbles, potholes and tram tracks are no problem. On the power front, the Bosch Active Line drive system is extremely reliable, and comes with the most powerful 500Wh power pack currently available. Shimano's Alfine 8 speed hub adds longevity and reliable shifting, while the hydraulic BR-M506 disc brakes provide outstanding brake performance in all weathers.
The new STEREO , FRITZZ and HANZZ models are built using Advanced Hydroforming. Conventional hydroforming processes cannot achieve these custom shapes and technical advantages. As this manufacturing method reduces the number of welds, the weight is reduced while durability is increased. All
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.
Extremely high tensile strength heat-treated 7005 aluminium alloy is developed for the highest requirements. It is very stiff, fatigue resistant, corrosion resistant and has high elongation. Our Superlite tubes are double butted, giving very light tubesets with a high level of stiffness.
Welded joints in our high-quality aluminum frames are specially finished via this method and create the impresssion of seamless tube design. This generates the visual effect of moulding and ensures high load bearing capacity.
This steerer tube design is stiffer than a conventional straight steerer and yields a more secure ride feel even in difficult terrain. Minimal flex at the front of the frame means the greatest possible steering precision. With the larger steerer, the forks become more rigid. At the same time weight is saved due to the absence of bearing shells as the lower bearing is fully integrated into the head tube. On all of our CUBE carbon models the upper bearing shells are also directly in the frame, so that once more a few grams are saved and the energy transfer is very direct.
On polished, brushed aluminium and all HPC frames, the logos and graphics are applied in multi-layer wet paint. We use this surface treatment technology mainly to save weight.
The SPLIT function allows the frame to open at the rear dropout to enable a drive belt to be mounted. The SLIDE function at the horizontal adjustable dropout allows wheel adjustment and chain/belt tension to be made easily without having to readjust the disc brakes. Adjustment screws avoid readjusting the wheel and ensure perfect function and durability.
