A truly great bike is one that handles everything while providing immense fun – just like the Stereo Hybrid ONE44 HPC SLX 800 with its Fox 36 Float 36 Rhythm fork and matching Float Performance shock, offering 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 top-notch performance and a ride feel like floating on clouds. When it comes to propulsion and range, the Bosch CX motor (with up to 100 Nm of torque and a Kiox 400C display for an optimal overview) and the 800 Wh battery showcase their strengths. This power, perfectly calibrated for the trail, is paired with the smooth and super-reliable Shimano XT 12-speed transmission. However, such power needs to be controlled effectively – that’s where the aggressive, progressive, and reliable hydraulic 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 off you go!
