Expirience with the CUBE STEREO 140 HPC RACE 27.5

Ludwig Döhl The STEREO 140 HPC RACE 27.5 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. A low weight means more rideability on different terrain. If the manufacturer's indication is right, the 13,6 kg of the CUBE Fully counts towards the lighter All Mountain that you get for under under 3000 Euro. The 425 mm short chainstays make the bike playful and more maneuverable in tighter corners. When sitting in the saddle, the posture is neither overly sporty, nor uber-comfortable. This should make the All Mountain von CUBE suite the taste of most bikers. The sporty orientation of the CUBE Fully can't be denied. The CUBE Fully is superior on lung-searing climbs within the All Mountains.
