A truly great bike is one that handles everything effortlessly and is incredibly fun to ride – just like the Stereo Hybrid ONE44 HPC SLX 800, which features a Fox 36 Float 36 Rhythm fork and a matching Float Performance damper with 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 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 a Kiox 400C display for perfect visibility) and the 800 Wh battery shine. This power is smoothly delivered on the trail by the light and highly reliable Shimano XT 12-speed gear system. However, such a boost requires ultimate control – which is where the sharp, progressive, and safe-stopping Shimano XT 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes with 203 mm rotors excel. Naturally, we’ve also equipped this trail machine with a dropper post. Adventure mode activated and let’s go!
