The leverage rate’s progression is fairly linear, but the curve does flatten slightly towards the end of the bike’s travel to compensate for the quick ramp up of air springs allowing full travel.Īnti-rise (how much braking forces extend or compress the suspension) sits between 55 per cent and 64 per cent through the bike’s travel. This level of progression makes the Stereo’s rear suspension well suited to coil-sprung shocks, but should also work well with air-sprung shocks, as long as there aren’t too many volume-reducer spacers installed. Suspension kinematicsĪccording to Linkage Design, the 160mm-travel Horst-link style suspension has a 3.0 to 2.15 leverage ratio, and is 28.3 per cent progressive. SRAM’s Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH) is fitted, while the rear axle uses Boost 12x148mm spacing. A single set of bottle cage bosses sit on the top of the down tube. The underside of the down tube is cut out for battery removal and installation. The battery has a single-button removable cover that, when off, reveals the battery’s locking mechanism. There’s chain slap protection on the driveside chainstay and a protective guard around the bottom of the motor. The headset also serves as a steering lock limiter to help reduce the chances of damage to the forks, frame or handlebars in the event of a crash. In removing the down tube’s ports, Cube claims the frame is stronger, but looks sleeker too. Its cables are routed internally via the headset’s top bearing cap, rather than through ports on the side of the down tube. The swingarm is constructed from 6061-T6 aluminium. The frame’s front triangle is made from Cube’s C:62 Monocoque Advanced Twin Mold Technology carbon fibre – the brand’s highest-spec carbon material. Chainstays measure 441.5mm on all bikes in the range.
