A truly great bike is one that performs exceptionally well 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 with 150 mm and 140 mm of travel. It also features Newmen Performance 30 wheels, fitted with Continental Kryptotal 2.4-inch tires. The result: outstanding performance and a ride quality that feels like floating 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 an optimal overview) and the 800 Wh battery showcase their strengths. This power is perfectly managed on the trail by Shimano's smooth and highly reliable XT 12-speed drivetrain. However, such robust acceleration requires excellent control – which is the specialty of the sharp, progressive, and reliably stopping Shimano XT 4-piston disc brakes with 203 mm rotors. It’s only logical that we equipped this trail machine with a dropper seat post. Adventure mode activated and off you go!
