2025 Cube Touring Hybrid Electric Bikes
By Ben Mowbray |
It doesn't feel like that long ago that I was doing the write-up for the previous generation Cube Touring Hybrid models but what I didn't expect was to be writing about just how much more aggressive Cube could get with their specification and pricing...
This post is also a little late. I normally write my posts about brand new Cube electric bikes just weeks after launch. We're now two months in to the model year and I'm only just getting to it, mostly because we've been too busy selling them and trying to get enough replacements to fill demand!
Quick jump to the best bits:-

What's new with Cube Touring Hybrid models?
The new 2025 Cube Touring Hybrid models are as normal, an evolution of the previous model year however for 2025 the range has had a bit of a hair cut.
Normally there are at least 3, if not 4 or more Touring Hybrid models. For 2025, there are just two - the Touring Hybrid One and the Touring Hybrid Pro.
As well as being one of the very first manufacturers to introduce the latest Bosch Smart System on their leisure/trekking models, for 2025 there have been some quite significant specification upgrades and new pricing.
Why has the Cube Touring Hybrid range changed for 2025?
Cube are seeking to aggressively take market share from their competitors. The easiest way to do this is to offer the very best value for money in price and specification and to Cube's credit, it's a title they've held in the industry across almost all of their bikes for at least the last several years.
For the new model year, both the 2025 Cube Touring Hybrid One and the Cube Touring Hybrid Pro have both seen upgrades to their specification.
With a revised pricing structure on both the Touring Hybrid and Kathmandu Hybrid model line, the entry level Kathmandu now comes in at less than the previous top model Touring Hybrid, the EXC. This is the reason for shrinking the range for 2025. It stops an overlap of pricing and specification between the two models.
Streamlining of model lines post-Covid is something we've seen from all manufacturers due to recent over-production and unnecessary over-complication of model lines.
Has the price of the Cube Touring Hybrid model range changed for 2025?
As well as increasing the specification of both the One and Pro model, pricing on the 2025 Cube Touring Hybrid models has been reduced, so much so that many of Cube's competitors were in a little bit of a panic prior to release as rumours swirled.
The 2025 Cube Touring Hybrid One has been reduced from £2,499 to £2,299. The 2025 Cube Touring Hybrid Pro also got a bit of a snip, from £2,899 down to £2,699 RRP.
Not only is a nearly 10% reduction on RRP from one year to the next almost unheard of, the specification jumped by almost the same amount, meaning that customers are effectively getting a £400 reduction on a bike which already cost significantly less and had better specification than its closest competitors!
What spec changes will we see on the 2025 Cube Touring Hybrid models?
The overall specification of the bikes is quite similar, but there are some neat and not so obvious changes.
The entry level model, the 2025 Cube Touring Hybrid One gets a fully adjustable handlebar stem, the new Bosch Purion 200 full colour display, better brakes and upgraded gears in the form of a wide range 11-46t 9 speed Shimano Cues setup.
For 2025, the One model now only comes as a Crossbar or Easy entry (no trapeze/uni) option.
The second and final model in the range, the 2025 Cube Touring Hybrid Pro gets all the specification of the One model, but with the addition of a suspension seat post, much more robust welded in pannier rack (an integral part of the frame for better load capacity) and air driven front suspension forks.
It also benefits from a slightly better headlight, 11 speed 11-50t Shimano Cues gearing, a larger 625Wh battery and Bosch's new, larger and centrally mounted Kiox 300 full colour display with satellite navigation. For an extra £400 over the One model, this is a huge jump in spec!
2025 Cube Touring Hybrid One
The Cube Touring Hybrid One is the entry level model in the range and is a great value entry into leisure riding and light touring. Equipped with a sturdy rear rack, set of mudguards, built in lights and a wide range of gears, the 2025 Cube Touring Hybrid One is has an impressive 75Nm and up to 300% assistance from its Bosch Performance Line motor and a range of 30-130 miles from its 500Wh battery.
The 2025 Cube Touring Hybrid One 500 is in stock now and comes in two contrasting colourways and also as a Crossbar and an Easy Entry frame variant, at £2,299.
2025 Cube Touring Hybrid Pro
Offering all of the specification of the entry level model but with tweaks to suit those who might be doing more off-road or longer distance riding, the 2025 Cube Touring Hybrid Pro gets the same motor but a larger 625Wh battery, suspension seat post, wider range and more gears, a rack built into the frame for a higher luggage capacity as well as the Bosch Kiox 300 display with fitness tracking and satellite navigation.
Like the entry model, the 2025 Cube Touring Hybrid Pro 625 is also in stock now and comes in two colour options, but offers all three of Cube's normal Crossbar, Uni and Easy Entry frame options at £2,699.
