A really good bike is one that handles everything effortlessly and, above all, is incredibly fun – just like the Stereo Hybrid ONE44 HPC SLX 800, which features a Fox 36 Float 36 Rhythm suspension fork and a corresponding Float Performance shock with 150 mm and 140 mm of travel. It also comes with Newmen Performance 30 wheels, outfitted with Continental Kryptotal 2.4-inch tires. The result: top-notch performance and a riding experience that feels like you're floating on clouds. When it comes to propulsion and range, the Bosch CX motor (producing up to 100 Nm of torque) and the 800 Wh battery make their strengths known, complemented by the Kiox 400C display for an excellent overview. This power is expertly delivered on the trail through Shimano's smooth and highly reliable XT 12-speed drivetrain. However, such force needs to be controlled effectively, which is the domain of the powerful, progressive, and safely stopping Shimano XT hydraulic disc brakes with 203 mm rotors. It’s only natural that we equipped this trail machine with a dropper post. Adventure mode activated, and let’s go!
