A truly great bike is one that offers everything and, above all, is incredibly fun – just like the Stereo Hybrid ONE44 HPC SLX 800, featuring the Fox 36 Float 36 Rhythm fork and a matching Float Performance shock with 150 mm and 140 mm of travel. It also comes equipped with Newmen Performance 30 wheels wrapped in Continental Kryptotal 2.4-inch tires. The result: top-notch performance and a riding experience that feels like floating on clouds. In terms of propulsion and range, the Bosch CX motor delivers its strengths with up to 100 Nm of torque and a Kiox 400C display for perfect visibility. This power is finely tuned for the trail, complemented by Shimano’s easy-to-use, highly reliable XT 12-speed drivetrain. However, such powerful performance needs to be expertly controlled, which is where the sharp, progressive hydraulic Shimano XT 4-piston disc brakes with 203 mm rotors excel. It’s only natural that we equipped this trail machine with a dropper seat post. Adventure mode activated – let’s go!
