Expirience with the CUBE STEREO 140 HPC SL

Ludwig Döhl The STEREO 140 HPC SL 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 lean 12,9 kg, the CUBE STEREO 140 HPC SL is among the lightest bikes in this category. On very narrow trails, you will love the playful 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. On the downhill, however, the CUBE Fully is left in the dust by its competitors. With the shifting components, CUBE fulfills not only the current standard, but even puts the icing on the cake with its extremely high-quality components.
