Expirience with the CUBE STEREO 140 HPC RACE

Ludwig Döhl The STEREO 140 HPC RACE has been on the market for a very long time. But with its small 27.5 wheels and sporty focus, it's still a very good bike. With 13,6 kg, the CUBE All Mountain counts towards the lighter bikes in this price range. The competitors are sometimes heavier. The 425 mm short chainstays make the bike playful and more maneuverable in tighter corners. For all of those who love a good incline, the moderate seating position of the on demanding single tracks should be considered pleasant. The easy rolling tires, the 510 wide range of gears and the lock-out capacity of the suspension underline the sporty ambitions in the uphill.
