A truly great bike is one that performs well and is incredibly fun to ride, just like the Stereo Hybrid ONE44 HPC SLX 800, equipped with its Fox 36 Float 36 Rhythm fork and matching Float Performance shock, providing 150 mm and 140 mm of travel. It also features Newmen Performance 30 wheels fitted with Continental Kryptotal 2.4-inch tires. The result is outstanding performance and a riding sensation akin to floating on clouds. In terms of propulsion and range, the Bosch CX motor (offering up to 100 Nm of torque and a Kiox 400C display for complete overview) and the 800 Wh battery showcase their strengths. This power is expertly delivered on the trail through the smooth and highly reliable Shimano XT 12-speed drivetrain. However, such thrust needs to be controlled effectively – that’s where the aggressive, progressive, and reliable Shimano XT 4-piston disc brakes with 203 mm rotors come into play. It’s only logical that we provided this trail machine with a dropper seatpost. Adventure mode activated, and let’s go!
