Natural evolution is slow, but we think we can speed things up a bit. With the Stereo Hybrid ONE44 HPC SLX Evo 800 we took our existing, highly-regarded trail all-rounder and tweaked the spec. It still has the smooth, accurate Fox 36 Float Rhythm fork and Float Performance shock, for 150mm of front- and 140mm of rear-wheel travel. A remote dropper post. Kiox 400C display. Newmen Performance 30 wheels wearing 2.4in Continental Kryptotal tyres. And, of course, up to 120Nm of assistance from the Bosch CX drive and 800Wh battery. But we added electronic Shimano XT Di2 1x12 gears, for consistently precise and smooth shifting in any scenario. And followed through with an ABS Pro anti-lock braking system on the powerful Shimano XT hydraulic disc brakes, to ensure you can stay in full control in even the trickiest of conditions. It's evolved so that your riding can, too... Vatican City (EUR€)

Frame description
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.
