Cube Editor Hybrid SLX 400X FE Trapeze

E-bike Cube Editor Hybrid SLX 400X FE

First impressions can't always tell you everything, and that certainly applies to the Editor Hybrid FE's understated Trapeze frame. Lightweight, durable aluminium construction with Smooth Welding at the main tube joints creates an elegant frame, while the full carbon fork is both light and strong. We integrated the cables to complement the frame's clean lines, and the 400Wh battery is built into the down tube to save space and weight. There's a versatile, rugged rear carrier and an optional front carrier for carrying your belongings. And we included full mudguards, a bright lighting set and a practical kickstand, so you've got everything you need.

A sleek, lightweight e-bike is great... but what if you also need to carry shopping or work-related stuff across town? The Editor Hybrid SLX 400X FE has it covered. With its rugged carrier, full mudguards, bright lights and practical kickstand, we've kitted it out with everything you're likely to need for work or play. The light, powerful Bosch SX drive system – with integrated 400Wh battery and top tube controller – works with low-maintenance, easy-to-use Shimano 8-speed hub gears to deliver you to your destination quickly and almost effortlessly. And, with grippy, fast-rolling Schwalbe 50mm tyres and powerful all-weather Shimano hydraulic disc brakes, the ride will be both safe and comfortable. It's got your back.

• CARBON FORK - How important is material choice? When it comes to the fork that holds your front wheel, more important than you might think. Not only is our Carbon Fork exceptionally light and strong, it's also surprisingly comfortable to ride. And, when you're weaving your way through city streets, those are all qualities that you'll appreciate.
• ADVANCED INTERNAL CABLE ROUTING - Gear and brake cables need a way to get from handlebar controls to frame – but what if there was no need for holes near the head tube? We came up with a design that takes cables into the frame via the headset, maintaining full internal cable routing but making it even neater and less obtrusive.
• FIXED INTEGRATED BATTERY - Bosch SX technology incorporates a new, lighter and more configurable battery setup. To make the most of the weight saving, we've integrated the new battery fully into the down tube. This means we can position it optimally for the best weight distribution and handling, as well as saving more weight by building a down tube that's precisely the right size to fit, and without the need for an access hatch. And the Power More option means you can add an additional 250Wh battery quickly and simply, for extra range. It's the best of both worlds.
• EFFICIENT COMFORT GEOMETRY - With our specially designed Efficient Comfort Geometry, cycling is a simple pleasure. Whether you're popping across town or exploring further afield, taking a ride with the family or with friends, for work or for pleasure, we've created a ride experience that will have you coming back for more.
• ALUMINIUM SUPERLITE - CUBE's Aluminium Superlite starts with heat-treated 6061 aluminium, which has the qualities – high fatigue resistance, good stiffness, low weight and excellent strength – that are important for a bicycle frame. Then we make it into double butted tubes, to reduce weight without sacrificing any of its strength. The result? Exceptionally light, strong and tough frames.
• X-CONNECT - X-Connect is the simple way to attach a compatible ACID light to your CUBE bike. With a connector built into the headset and the wiring hidden in the frame, all that's left to do is attach the light, plug it in... and off you go. See and be seen, the easy way.

*Because of ongoing problems in the delivery chain, the bike can be delivered with modifications.
