A truly great bike is one that performs well and, above all, is incredibly fun to ride – like the Stereo Hybrid ONE44 HPC SLX 800, which features a Fox 36 Float 36 Rhythm fork and a corresponding Float Performance shock with 150 mm and 140 mm of travel. It also comes equipped with 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. In terms of propulsion and range, the Bosch CX motor (with up to 100 Nm of torque and a Kiox 400C display for optimal visibility) and the 800 Wh battery showcase their strengths. This power is finely tuned for the trail, complemented by the smooth and super-reliable Shimano XT 12-speed drivetrain. However, such power needs to be expertly controlled – that's where the sharp, progressive, and highly effective Shimano XT 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes with 203 mm rotors excel. It’s clear that this trail machine is also equipped with a dropper seat post. Adventure mode activated and off we go!
