Cube has unveiled its 2027 lineup for the Editor Hybrid series, introducing significant enhancements to its urban e-bikes. The latest models feature Bosch’s new Hub Line motor system, offering a more streamlined design and improved performance. Additionally, Cube has expanded the range to include more affordable options, making urban e-mobility accessible to a broader audience.
Enhanced Urban Mobility with the Editor Hybrid
The Editor Hybrid series has been reimagined to cater to the demands of city commuting. Cube has transitioned all models to the Fully Equipped (FE) specification, ensuring each bike comes standard with essential accessories such as mudguards, a rear carrier, and integrated lighting. This approach emphasizes practicality without compromising on style.
Maintaining its sporty character, the Editor Hybrid continues to feature a rigid fork paired with wide 50mm tires. This combination provides a comfortable ride over urban obstacles, enhancing the bike’s versatility in diverse city environments.
Top Models with Enviolo Continuously Variable Transmission
The Editor Hybrid SLT FE and SLX FE models have been upgraded with the Enviolo continuously variable transmission (CVT). This system allows for seamless gear changes, adapting to the rider’s cadence and terrain without the need for manual shifting. The SLT FE model further incorporates Enviolo’s AutomatiQ control, which automatically adjusts the transmission to maintain a preferred pedaling frequency, offering a truly hands-free riding experience.
Both models are powered by Bosch’s Performance Line SX motor, delivering 60 Nm of torque, and are equipped with a 400 Wh battery integrated into the down tube. The SLX FE weighs 19.8 kg and is priced at €2,699, while the SLT FE, with its automatic transmission, weighs 20.7 kg and is priced at €3,099.
Introduction of Bosch’s Hub Line Motor System
A notable addition to the 2027 lineup is the Editor Hybrid Pro 360 FE and Editor Hybrid One 360 FE models, both featuring Bosch’s new Hub Line motor system. This system utilizes a rear hub motor, providing a more compact and balanced design compared to traditional mid-drive motors. The Pro 360 FE model is equipped with a Gates belt drive and a single-speed setup, emphasizing low maintenance and simplicity. It weighs 19.2 kg and is priced at €1,999. The One 360 FE model offers an 8-speed Shimano Essa chain drive, catering to riders who prefer a wider gear range. It weighs 20 kg and is priced at €1,849.
Diverse Frame Options and Accessibility
Cube offers both diamond and trapeze frame variants across all models, accommodating a wide range of rider preferences and ensuring comfort and accessibility. The inclusion of Bosch’s Hub Line motor system in the Pro 360 FE and One 360 FE models introduces a more affordable entry point into the Editor Hybrid series, with prices starting below €1,850. These models are expected to be available from December 2026, providing an accessible option for those seeking reliable urban e-mobility solutions.
In summary, Cube’s 2027 Editor Hybrid series combines innovative motor technology, practical features, and diverse options to meet the evolving needs of urban cyclists, offering a compelling choice for those navigating city streets.
