2024 Cube Touring Hybrid - Leisure, Hybrid and Touring Electric Bikes
By Ben Mowbray |
Old bike, new tricks. The 2024 Cube Touring Hybrid model range is as almost as old as e-bikes themselves yet with continual model development it returns each year with new components and specification to keep it at the very forefront of hybrid and leisure riding at a value point which other brand just can't compete with.
2024 Cube Touring Hybrid Models. Which Cube Touring Hybrid is right for you?
The Cube Touring Hybrid range is vast. So vast in fact that we don't stock them all because it would take up too much space even in our 170 bike showroom!
The 2024 Cube Touring Hybrid is actually 6 different bikes, each with 3 different frame options and offered in alternate colours ways in 5 different sizes. The Cube Touring Hybrid name is found on 90 different bikes for 2024!
The 6 different bikes offer varying levels of specification at individual price points, but we hand pick just the best value models which for this year, means we're stocking the 3 best options.
What's the difference between the 2024 Cube Touring Hybrid One, Pro and EXC?
Cube make all of the their bikes in multiple specification options and the 2024 Cube Touring Hybrid model range is no different. With dozens of potential options, we trim the range down to just the best value models to make life easier for our customers.
Those new to eBikes can find the choice of bikes very confusing so we aim to take out the hard work but hand picking the models we know will best suit the largest proportion of riders, while ensuring we offer the best possible value for money in them models picked by our experts each year.
The 2024 Touring Hybrid One is their entry level bike, designed for newer or "lighter use" riders. Those who often only do shorter rides of sub-50 miles, mostly stick to paved or hard pack surfaces, don't carry much on the bike or otherwise wont be out on it every day will find that the One model has everything they need (and possible a little more too!). The Touring Hybrid One covers most riding at a price point which makes sense for less frequent or demanding riders.
The 2024 Touring Hybrid Pro is often the most highly sought after and most sold model in their range each year. Offering an increase in brake, suspension and gear component value, it lends itself to those who like to be out every weekend, taking in the tracks, trails and countryside views as readily as carrying a weeks worth of shopping on its frame integrated pannier rack. Since this is the most common type of leisure style electric bike rider, it also offers the best value to most.
Up from the Pro model, the 2024 Cube Touring Hybrid EXC offers a modest jump in specification for just a small increase in cost. The first in the model line to get 12 gears and 4 piston brakes, hills become flatter and it'll pull you, your bike and its luggage to a stop quickly and easily, even in the worst conditions.
Easy Entry, Uni, or Crossbar?
As well as multiple specification and colour options, Cube also produce the 2024 Touring Hybrid models in multiple frame styles and there really is no right or wrong answer on this part. Its entirely personal preference, but there are a few things which are worthwhile considering.
The Crossbar model, normally seen as a "men's" bike offers the traditional horizontal crossbar.
The Trapeze or "Uni" frame still has a crossbar, but its positioned much lower, which dramatically reduces the stand-over height of the bike.
The Easy Entry or "Easy" has no crossbar at all and is great for those with issues with mobility or range of motion.
When purchasing a bike, especially as riders get older, its worthwhile considering how long you plan to keep the bike and where you see your abilities in the next 8-10 years (or more!) that these bikes are designed to last.
Problems with knees, hips and backs rarely ease with age and in most cases they will continue to decline, even if only very slowly. If you can just about get a leg over a crossbar right now, would it be worth while considering a Uni or Easy frame now, rather than potentially trading it in much earlier than would have you seeing the best value from it?
A full Crossbar, Uni or Easy Entry option is available on all our of stocked models.
New updates from Bosch for 2024
The 2024 Cube Touring Hybrid range has once again undergone a complete overhaul for the new model year. Much of this is directly influenced by the introduction by Bosch of their new "Smart System" technology.
As well as yet another brand new frame (it was only updated last year!), the motor, which is still the same well trusted Bosch Performance Line Generation 3 powerplant they've been using for many years, has now had a major update and offers and increased 75Nm of torque - only 10 less than their most powerful Generation 4 Performance CX!
As well as the new motor, there are now two new display systems being used on the 2024 Cube Touring Hybrid models.
