A truly great bike is one that excels in all aspects and, most importantly, offers immense fun – just like the Stereo Hybrid ONE44 HPC SLX 800 with its Fox 36 Float 36 Rhythm fork and a matching Float Performance shock with 150 mm and 140 mm of travel. Additionally, it features Newmen Performance 30 wheels shod with Continental Kryptotal 2.4-inch tires. The result: top-notch performance and a riding experience that feels like floating on clouds. When it comes to propulsion and range, the Bosch CX motor (offering up to 100 Nm of torque) and the Kiox 400C display provide an excellent overview. This power, finely tuned for the trails, is complemented by the smooth and highly reliable Shimano XT 12-speed drivetrain. However, such a boost also requires top-notch control, which is where the sharp, progressive, and secure-stopping hydraulic Shimano XT 4-piston disc brakes with 203 mm rotors come in. It’s only natural that we equipped this trail machine with a dropper seat post. Adventure mode activated, let’s go!
