A truly great bike is one that handles everything with ease and most importantly, offers immense fun – just like the Stereo Hybrid ONE44 HPC SLX 800, featuring the Fox 36 Float 36 Rhythm suspension fork and its matching Float Performance shock with 150 mm and 140 mm travel. It also comes equipped with Newmen Performance 30 wheels, fitted with Continental Kryptotal 2.4-inch tires. The result is top-tier performance and a riding sensation akin to floating 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 an excellent overview) and the 800 Wh battery showcase their strengths. This power is effectively managed on the trail by Shimano’s smooth and highly reliable XT 12-speed transmission. However, such thrust also demands exceptional control – that’s where the sharp, progressive, and reliably stopping hydraulic Shimano XT 4-piston disc brakes with 203 mm rotors come into play. Naturally, we’ve equipped this trail machine with a dropper seat post. Adventure mode activated and off we go!
