Expirience with the CUBE STEREO 140 HPC SL 27.5

Ludwig Döhl The STEREO 140 HPC SL 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. 12,9 kg is great value for the total weight of a All Mountain. On all kinds of trails, the All Mountain von CUBE therefore rides significantly lighter-footed than its competitors. On very narrow trails, you will love the playful handling. When entering the saddle, the CUBE STEREO 140 HPC SL 27.5 conveys a balanced seating position. There are All Mountain in the price under 4500 Euro that have more potential downhill. For this, the shifting components are pretty much the best thing you can expect on a complete bike for 3199 Euro .
