This is the one: a bike that’s as rock-solid dependable descending an Alp at speed as it is agile and sure-footed picking its way up a long climb. How did we do that? Well, there’s the new C:62 carbon frame with Angle Set headset, for a start. Then we chose a RockShox Lyrik Select+ fork and Super Deluxe Select+ shock for their bump-swallowing prowess. Newmen Evolution wheels, Maxxis tyres and Magura MT5 hydraulic disc brakes keep you firmly in control. And Sram’s GX Eagle 1×12 gears give you the range you need to make light work of any mountain route. It’s the complete package.
Frame description
Elegant form or rugged function? With the new Stereo ONE55 C:62 you don’t have to choose. The clean lines of the Advanced Twin Mold C:62 frame are the first thing you’ll notice, but as always the devil is in the detail. A built-in Angle Set gives a choice of head tube angles, so you can tweak the performance to your liking. The threaded bottom bracket shell is tough and practical, complete with ISCG 05 chain guide mount. There’s built-in down tube storage with room for a CUBE multitool and lots else besides. With 155mm of travel at the rear and a 160mm fork up front, there’s simply no better way to take on tough mountain trails and come out on top.
