You know you're on a great trail bike when it just gets out of the way and lets you enjoy the ride. It's the reason that, for the Stereo Hybrid ONE44 HPC SLX 800, we began with a 150mm Fox 36 Float Rhythm fork and matching Float Performance shock. Combined with a Newmen Performance 30 wheelset and Continental Kryptotal 2.4in tyres, it's the closest we can get to a magic carpet ride. Bosch's CX motor and an 800Wh battery deliver up to 100Nm of torque to the trail via Shimano's slick-shifting, legendarily reliable XT 1x12 gears, while the Kiox 400C display shows you what's going on. And strong, progressive Shimano XT 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes with 203mm rotors bring you safely to a stop, on demand. With a remote dropper post included in the mix, you simply need to add your spirit of adventure... and ride.

Frame and equipment

A great bike is all about the detail, and the Stereo Hybrid ONE44 HPC's frame is chock-full of clever details. You'll notice the Internal Cable Routing because it so neatly complements the High Performance Carbon main triangle's clean lines, while the angle-adjustable headset means you can tailor the handling to your specific requirements. A Direct Mount chain guard keeps the gears on the straight and narrow, and the neatly integrated Bosch top tube controller plus Purion 400 display show you what's going on with the powerful Bosch CX drive and 800Wh PowerTube battery at a glance. With a 150mm fork and 140mm of rear-wheel travel, it's ready to take on the toughest of trails. The UDH dropout means it's future-proof, too. And, with Size Split, there's a wide range of sizes to suit most riders.

The advantages of 27.5 inch tires

27.5 inch wheels are the logical addition to the large 29 inch wheels and the optimum compromise for all smaller riders and trail fanatics. The combination of smoothness and manoeuvrability meets every wish of a biker. More agile than the 29 inch wheels and therefore the optimal choice for off-road driving and hairpin bends that leave you with little reaction time. This category offers the best choice especially for those changing from 26 inch wheels. 27.5 inch combines the best of two worlds and creates bikes that are not restricted in their use. Whether Fully or Hardtail - 27.5 inch is the golden mean and the perfect tyre size for all who want to use their mountain bike according to its purpose.

The advantages of 29 inch tires

29 inch is THE trend of the last few years, which was able to assert itself completely. Initially viewed critically by mountain bike purists and equipped with some teething troubles, the bike industry has recognized the trend and made it the new standard through continuous improvements. The advantage of the 29" tyres is the enormous running smoothness, which brings great advantages and saves power on long tours as well as uphill and downhill. Obstacles are easier to overcome due to the larger circumference of the wheels, and a greater distance is covered by turning the bottom bracket. By improvements and adjustments in the frame construction and the component selection, initial problems with the agility in the Trail and the optics of smaller frames were optimally balanced. Whether fully or hardtail, a 29 will take you far away.
