A truly great bike is one that can handle everything and is exceptionally fun to ride – just like the Stereo Hybrid ONE44 HPC SLX 800 with its Fox 36 Float 36 Rhythm suspension fork and the corresponding Float Performance shock absorber featuring 150 mm and 140 mm of travel. It is also equipped with Newmen Performance 30 wheels fitted with Continental Kryptotal 2.4-inch tires. The result: top-notch performance and a riding experience like gliding on clouds. In terms of propulsion and range, the Bosch CX motor (with up to 100 Nm of torque and a Kiox 400C display for the perfect overview) and the 800 Wh battery showcase their strengths. This powerful output is smoothly controlled on the trail by Shimano’s extremely reliable XT 12-speed gear system. Such strong thrust requires precise control, which is where the aggressive, progressive, and confidently stopping Shimano XT 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes with 203 mm rotors come into play. Naturally, we equipped this trail machine with a dropper seat post. Adventure mode activated and off you go!
