Expirience with the CUBE STEREO 120 HPC TM

Ludwig Döhl The STEREO 120 HPC TM is one of the most aggressively priced trail bikes in the world. Hardly any model promises more riding pleasure at lower prices. A low weight means more rideability on different terrain. If the manufacturer's indication is right, the 13,4 kg of the CUBE Fully counts towards the lighter Trailbike that you get for under under 3000 Euro. The geometry is moderate and makes for a balanced handling. 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. All in all, in the tours on lower mountains category, you will hardly find a better overall package from parts and geometry.
