Appearances can be deceptive. Beneath the Editor Hybrid SLT 400X's understated, clean lines lurks a sophisticated modern transport solution with your name written all over it. Featuring a built-in 400Wh battery and mini controller for the lightweight Bosch SX drive unit, we chose a maintenance-free and clean Gates belt drive and Shimano's 11-speed Alfine hub gears for the ultimate in get-on-and-go ease of use. Powerful Shimano Cues hydraulic disc brakes give you all the stopping power you need in any weather, delivered to the road via Schwalbe's wide and tenaciously grippy Marathon Efficiency 50mm tyres. With the lightweight full carbon fork, it's practically an e-bike superhero in disguise.

Frame and equipment

A practical urban bike should be elegant, understated and versatile. That's why, for the Editor Hybrid's frame, we started with lightweight and durable aluminium and then added Smooth Welding at the main tube joints – so it has a clean, almost organic appearance. Cables are fully integrated for longer service life and to complement the uncluttered aesthetic, and we even integrated the 400Wh battery in the down tube and mini controller in the top tube. And the full carbon fork is light, strong and suits the frame's pared-back aesthetic. We think we ticked all the boxes.

For whom is the Cube Editor Hybrid SLT 400X suitable?

For the fast touring cyclist. Whereas electric motors were previously reserved for mountain and trekking bikes, manufacturers are now breaking new ground with these bikes. The low weight, paired with the stable and manoeuvrable geometries, makes the evening round the lake a pleasure. Even if it is Lake Constance. Robust mountainbike components, latest drive technologies and smooth running 28 inch tires are among the features of these bikes. With a bike from this category, everything is possible: riding fast, relaxing, or making long tours.
