CUBE 2016 STEREO 120 HPC SL

Description

Frame

Our previous Stereo 120 was hugely successful as a 29er. The new Stereo 120 HPC's 27.5 and 29 inch wheel options build on that reputation. The bar is raised by combining Agile Trail Geometry (ATG) - which ensures that it has the same lively, agile handling as its predecessor - with the perfect balance of stiffness and low weight - achieved with the Advanced Twin Mould carbon main frame and 6061 T6 rear end. The PressFit bottom bracket, internal cable routing, X12 quick release axle, tapered head tube and smaller, forged Trail Motion Rocker linkage all contribute to making the frame even lighter and stiffer, so you can focus on the race or the next tricky section of trail.

Components

Shimano's XT has been a mountain biking benchmark since its launch. But the 2016 groupset - with highlights like the 11 speed cassette (11-40), even better brakes and several features that have previously been available only on the range-topping XTR group - sets the bar even higher. The same is true of Fox's new suspension components, which perform even better than before thanks to the use of Kashima coatings. It's hard to believe just how efficient 120mm of travel can be. The Syntace Carbon cockpit, RockShox Stealth dropper post and CSW MA 3.7/3.9 wheels with DT Swiss technology round off this accomplished all-rounder.
