A truly great bike is one that handles everything effortlessly and is incredibly fun to ride – like the Stereo Hybrid ONE44 HPC SLX 800, featuring a Fox 36 Float 36 Rhythm fork and a matching Float Performance shock with 150 mm and 140 mm of travel. It comes equipped with Newmen Performance 30 wheels fitted with Continental Kryptotal 2.4-inch tires. The result: top-notch performance and a riding sensation akin to gliding on clouds. In terms of propulsion and range, the Bosch CX motor (delivering up to 100 Nm of torque and paired with the Kiox 400C display for optimal visibility) and the 800 Wh battery showcase their strengths. This power, finely tuned for the trail, is complemented by the smooth and highly reliable Shimano XT 12-speed drivetrain. However, such force requires precise control, which is where the aggressive, progressive, and safe-stopping hydraulic Shimano XT 4-piston disc brakes with 203 mm rotors come into play. It's only natural that we equipped this trail machine with a dropper seat post. Adventure mode: activated and ready to go!
