Expirience with the CUBE STEREO 140 HPC SLT 27.5

Ludwig Döhl The STEREO 140 HPC SLT 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. The weight of a bike is a central factor for riding pleasure on any kind of terrain. With 12,9 kg, the CUBE Fully is one of the lightest All Mountain on the market, which makes for great riding on singletrails. The 425 mm short chainstays make for playful handling. Anyone who has no special preferences for the seating position can´t go wrong with the CUBE STEREO 140 HPC SLT 27.5. Because the saddle takes the balanced approach. Considering that in the range under 4500 Euro, hardly any other manufacturer makes a better bike for the same specs of wheels. Nice!
