Expirience with the CUBE STEREO 120 HPC SLT

Ludwig Döhl The STEREO 120 HPC SLT is one of the most aggressively priced trail bikes in the world. Hardly any model promises more riding pleasure at lower prices. With the weight indication of 11,6 kg, CUBE lets the competitors look outdated. Because under the Trailbike you will hardly find a lighter model. Riding pleasure guaranteed. With its geometry, the CUBE Trailbike is right in the middle between playfulness and high speed stability. The seating position does not manage to be too athletic, nor too upright. It´s moderate character is likely to suite the vast majority of bikers. Despite this criticism, the coherent overall concept makes the CUBE Trailbike to on moderate to demanding trails a buying recommendation in the price range 4399 Euro range.
