Light Up The Night: Cube’s X Connect Light System

Light Up the Night: Cube ACID Outdoor LED Light HPA 3000

When the sun sets, adventure doesn’t have to stop. Cube’s latest innovation—the ACID Outdoor LED Light HPA 3000 Space—proves that the night is just another playground for riders who crave performance and exploration. Crowned with the Design & Innovation Award 2025, this powerhouse light has already established itself as one of the most advanced lighting solutions for mountain biking, gravel riding, and outdoor use.

Blazing Brightness for Every Ride

Delivering a staggering 3000 lumens, the HPA 3000 transforms the darkest trails into daylight. Whether you’re tackling technical singletrack, cruising gravel backroads, or heading out on a backcountry adventure, this light ensures complete visibility and the confidence to ride hard after dark.

The light offers eight different modes, from ultra-bright full power to a long-lasting ultra-low setting, as well as an SOS signal for emergencies. Thanks to the wireless remote control, switching modes is effortless—even while riding.

Rugged Engineering, Built for All Weather

Crafted from durable aluminium and boasting an IPX6 water-resistance rating, the HPA 3000 is designed to withstand mud, rain, and high-pressure water sprays from any angle. This is a light that won’t flinch when the weather turns.

Smart Power and Fast Charging

At the heart of the system is the 37Wh external ACID powerbank, which provides:

  • 1.5 hours of runtime at full power

  • Over 24 hours on ultra-low mode

Recharging is quick and efficient, with a full charge in just 3.5 hours using the included 20W USB-C charger and cable. Beyond powering the light, the powerbank doubles as a charger for your smartphone, GPS watch, or other devices—a practical feature for long adventures.

And if you’re a CUBE e-bike owner, you’ll appreciate the seamless integration: the powerbank connects directly to any 2025 model fitted with the X-Connector port.

Versatility in Mounting

Cube understands that every rider has their own setup, so the HPA 3000 comes with a highly adaptable, GoPro-compatible mounting system. Options include:

  • A helmet mount

  • A headband with the X-Lock system

  • A 1000mm ACID X-Connect extension cord for flexible positioning

Everything packs neatly into a foam-core carry case, keeping your kit organised and ready to roll.

Ride Bright, Ride Safe: Cube ACID E-Bike Front Light Pro-E 150 X-Connect

For e-bike riders, visibility isn’t just about seeing—it’s about being seen. The ACID E-Bike Front Light Pro-E 150 X-Connect is Cube’s latest innovation designed to deliver uncompromising performance, safety, and seamless integration. Compact, lightweight, and engineered with advanced optics, this front light is the perfect companion for commuters and all-season riders who demand reliability and clarity on every journey.

Premium Illumination, Road-Legal Performance

With a powerful output of 150 lux / 440 lumens, the Pro-E 150 casts an even, wide beam across the road thanks to its new convex lens technology. This ensures not just brightness, but also a consistent spread of light for safer navigation in urban and rural environments alike.

Importantly, the Pro-E 150 is StVZO approved, meeting strict German road traffic regulations. Whether you’re tackling city streets or country lanes, you can ride with confidence knowing your light is both powerful and fully road-legal.

Safety That Never Sleeps

One of the standout features is the Automatic Daytime Running Light (DRL), which boosts rider visibility even in broad daylight. This smart function ensures you’re always noticeable to other road users, reducing the risk of accidents and making every ride safer.

Built to Withstand the Elements

Like all ACID products, durability comes standard. With an IPX6 waterproof rating, the Pro-E 150 is resistant to high-pressure water sprays from any direction, making it more than capable of handling heavy rain, road spray, and winter conditions.

Smart Integration with X-Connect

The Pro-E 150 is designed for easy installation and wide compatibility. Out of the box, it connects directly to CUBE e-bikes via the 150mm X-Connect cable. Riders with older e-bike models can also integrate it using the X-Connect to Bosch BES2/3 cable.

For added versatility, it’s also compatible with ACID Powerbanks, offering flexibility for riders who like to mix and match their setups. And thanks to the GoPro-compatible universal adapter, mounting is quick and straightforward.
