A truly great bike is one that handles everything and, above all, is incredibly fun – just like the Stereo Hybrid ONE44 HPC SLX 800, which features a Fox 36 Float 36 Rhythm suspension fork and a matching Float Performance shock with 150 mm and 140 mm of travel. It also comes with Newmen Performance 30 wheels, fitted with Continental Kryptotal 2.4-inch tires. The result is top-notch performance and a riding experience that feels like floating on clouds. In terms of propulsion and range, the Bosch CX motor (providing up to 100 Nm of torque and a Kiox 400C display for perfect oversight) and the 800 Wh battery showcase their strengths. This precise power delivery on the trail is paired with Shimano's smooth and highly reliable XT 12-speed gearbox. However, such a boost also requires excellent control – this is where the aggressive, progressive, and dependable stopping power of the Shimano XT 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes with 203 mm rotors comes into play. It’s a given that we equipped this trail machine with an adjustable dropper seat post. Adventure mode on, let’s go!
