A truly great bike is one that excels in performance and, above all, provides immense fun – just like the Stereo Hybrid ONE44 HPC SLX 800, equipped with a Fox 36 Float 36 Rhythm fork and a 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 outcome is outstanding performance and a riding experience akin to floating on clouds. In terms of propulsion and range, the Bosch CX motor (boasting up to 100 Nm of torque and featuring the Kiox 400C display for an ideal overview) and the 800 Wh battery showcase their strengths. This power is seamlessly channeled to the trail through Shimano's smooth and highly reliable XT 12-speed drivetrain. However, such force needs to be controlled effectively – the specialty of the sharp, progressive, and reliably stopping Shimano XT 4-piston disc brakes with 203 mm rotors. It’s only natural that we have also equipped this trail machine with a dropper seat post. Adventure mode activated, and off we go!
