Introducing the all-new CUBE AMS Hybrid One44 C:68 e-mountain bike!

 

The AMS Hybrid One44 C:68 boasts an ultra-sleek silhouette that has you second-guessing as to whether it’s an e-bike at all, with the four bikes in the range all featuring a superlight frame constructed from CUBE’s premium C:68X® carbon fibre for a weight of just 2100g. Factor in that compact new Bosch SX motor system delivering a stunning 55Nm maximum torque combined with 600w of maximum power and you’ve got a super-light e-MTB that climbs, descends and handles just like a non-e-mountain bike but with all the power and efficiency of a modern e-MTB.

The AMS Hybrid One44 C:68 features the hottest e-bike motor available right now – the Bosch Performance SX.

 

Meeting the design brief of the ultralight Bosch-powered AMS Hybrid One44 C:68 full-suspension bike wasn’t easy. To hit that sweet spot the designers and engineers at CUBE chose their most advanced C:68X® carbon material for maximum strength and stiffness at the lowest weight possible. They neatly incorporated the sleek Bosch CompactTube 400 battery into the down tube, positioning it as close to the Bosch SX motor as possible for a low centre of gravity, helping improve bike handling while storing an efficient 400Wh of power to facilitate longer rides.

That ultra-sleek silhouette that has you second-guessing as to whether it’s an e-bike at all!

 

The Bosch CompactTube 400 internal battery is neatly positioned near the motor in the down tube for a low centre of gravity.

 

The Bosch Drive Unit Performance SX is compact and powerful producing 55Nm of maximum torque.

 

Still suffering with range anxiety? No dramas; there’s also an option to run an additional PowerMore-ready battery that fits neatly into your bottle cage (sold separately) for an additional 250Wh of range boost. Other notable features include internal cable routing that complements the frame’s sleek silhouette and a lightweight direct mount chain guide that stops your chain from unshipping when riding gets particularly rowdy. With an angle adjustable headset allowing you to fine-tune the AMS Hybrid One44 C:68’s to suit your riding style and the type of terrain you typically encounter it’s a versatile modern trail bike that just happens to have enviable amounts of pedal-assist secretly stowed away within that conventional-looking frame.

You’ll be able to fine-tune the AMS Hybrid One44 C:68’s geometry to suit your own riding style.

 

There are four models in the small sub-range of AMS Hybrid One44 C:68’s e-MTB’s. Two have been built for speed and efficiency, when you want to cover as much ground as possible and climb gradients that would have had you previously off the bike and pushing. The other two options have been spec’d to handle the increased demands of more rowdy trail riding when you are really pushing the bike to its limits downhill before quickly heading back to the top of your favourite trails thanks to that powerful but compact Bosch Performance SX motor.
