A truly great bike is one that performs well and, most importantly, is incredibly fun to ride – just like the Stereo Hybrid ONE44 HPC SLX 800. It features a Fox 36 Float 36 Rhythm suspension fork along with a matching Float Performance shock, offering 150 mm of front and 140 mm of rear travel. Additionally, it is equipped with Newmen Performance 30 wheels fitted with Continental Kryptotal 2.4-inch tires. The result is top-notch performance and a ride feel like gliding on clouds. When it comes to propulsion and range, the Bosch CX motor (delivering up to 100 Nm of torque and featuring a Kiox 400C display for an optimal overview) along with an 800 Wh battery showcase their advantages. This power is finely tuned on the trail by the smooth and highly reliable Shimano XT 12-speed drivetrain. However, such propulsion requires excellent control, which is where the aggressive, progressive, and reliably braking Shimano XT 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes with 203 mm rotors come into play. It’s a given that we equipped this trail machine with a dropper seat post. Adventure mode activated, and off you go!
