Expirience with the CUBE STEREO 140 HPC SLT

Ludwig Döhl The STEREO 140 HPC SLT 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 CUBE STEREO 140 HPC SLT therefore rides significantly lighter-footed than its competitors. On very narrow trails, you will love the playful handling. For all of those who love a good incline, the moderate seating position of the in alpine terrain should be considered pleasant. Despite this criticism, the coherent overall concept makes the CUBE STEREO 140 HPC SLT to on demanding trails a buying recommendation in the price range 3899 Euro range.
