A truly great bike is one that handles everything with ease and, above all, is incredibly fun to ride – just like the Stereo Hybrid ONE44 HPC SLX 800, equipped with its Fox 36 Float 36 Rhythm fork and matching Float Performance shock, offering 150 mm and 140 mm of travel. It also features Newmen Performance 30 wheels, fitted with Continental Kryptotal 2.4-inch tires. The result is top-notch performance and a riding experience that feels like floating on clouds. When it comes to propulsion and range, the Bosch CX motor (with up to 100 Nm of torque and the Kiox 400C display for a perfect overview) and the 800 Wh battery showcase their strengths. This power, finely tuned for the trail, is complemented by Shimano's extremely reliable XT 12-speed gearing. However, with such thrust, control is paramount – the specialty of the sharp, progressive, and reliably stopping Shimano XT 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes with 203 mm rotors. Naturally, we’ve also equipped this trail machine with a dropper post. Adventure mode engaged, let’s go!
