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 120Nm 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.

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.
