A really good bike is one that handles everything effortlessly and, above all, is incredibly fun to ride – just like the Stereo Hybrid ONE44 HPC SLX 800, equipped with a Fox 36 Float 36 Rhythm fork and a matching Float Performance shock absorber providing 150 mm and 140 mm of travel. It also features Newmen Performance 30 wheels fitted with Continental Kryptotal 2.4-inch tires. The result? Top-notch performance and a riding experience like floating on clouds. In terms of 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 show their strengths. This power is perfectly managed on the trail by the smooth, super-reliable XT 12-speed gearing system from Shimano. However, such power needs to be well controlled – this is where the sharp, progressive, and safely slowing Shimano XT 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes with 203 mm rotors excel. Naturally, we’ve also equipped this trail machine with a dropper seat post. Adventure mode activated and off you go!
