A truly great bike is one that performs well and, most importantly, offers incredible fun – just like the Stereo Hybrid ONE44 HPC SLX 800, equipped with its Fox 36 Float 36 Rhythm fork and a matching Float Performance shock featuring 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 ride sensation like floating on clouds. When it comes to propulsion and range, the Bosch CX motor (delivering up to 100 Nm of torque and paired with the Kiox 400C display for perfect visibility) and the 800 Wh battery showcase their strengths. This powerful setup is smoothly complemented by the highly reliable Shimano XT 12-speed drivetrain. However, such power requires exceptional control, which is where the aggressive, progressive, and dependable Shimano XT 4-piston disc brakes with 203 mm rotors come into play. Naturally, we equipped this trail machine with a dropper seat post. Adventure mode activated, and let's go!
