The Stereo Hybrid ONE77 HPC SLT leaves nothing on the table in its pursuit of big-mountain riding perfection. The mullet wheelset is built around a pair of Newmen Phase 30 carbon wheels, shod with Schwalbe's tough and tenaciously grippy Magic Mary and Albert 2.5in tyres. That's a good thing, because the Magura hydraulic disc brakes need all the traction they can get to deliver their safe, predictable stopping power. There's a remote dropper seatpost, of course. Sram's XX Eagle Transmission 1x12 gears are driven via a Race Face Era carbon crank – and assistance from Bosch's most powerful CX-R drive and 800Wh PowerTube battery – for quick, precise electronic shifts. With Fox's 38 Factory Grip X2 fork and Float X2 Factory shock delivering 170mm of plush, well-controlled travel at each wheel, it's safe to say that the rest comes down to you. Are you up for it?Frame descriptionThe Stereo Hybrid ONE77 HPC frame – with 170mm travel front and rear and a mullet wheel set-up with 29in front and 27.5in rear – is all you need for big days out on big mountain trails. We added Internal Cable Routing for super-clean looks, and then threw in an angle-adjustable headset so that you can tweak the handling to your taste. The 800Wh PowerTube battery sits unobtrusively in the carbon down tube, just above the Bosch CX-R drive. A UDH dropout on the aluminium rear triangle is tough and future-proof, and we also included a Direct Mount chain guide to keep you driving forwards even when the going gets rough.
The Cycling Hat Thermo provides optimal protection against cold and wind during bike rides in cooler months. With its breathable material and snug fit, it ensures comfort and keeps your head dry, even during intense rides.
Ready to take on the trails? Because the Stereo HPC Race certainly is. Start with a RockShox Psylo Silver RC fork, and add a matching Deluxe Select+ RT shock for 145mm of rock- and root-swallowing travel at the rear, and 150mm up front. Add a Newmen Performance 30 wheelset shod with Continental's tenaciously grippy Xynotal 2.4in tyres, and hold it all in check with Magura's powerful Louise hydraulic disc brakes. Add Shimano's legendarily reliable XT 1x12 gears. And finish it all off with a dropper seatpost, because you never know what the trail will throw at you. Yeah... it's definitely ready.Frame descriptionLook, we'll be the first to admit we're pleased with the Stereo HPC's looks. It's pretty sleek, right? The High Performance Carbon front triangle and aluminium rear end are certainly neat. But dig a little deeper, and it's also about practicality and function. So the straight seat tube, for example, allows for a longer dropper post with deeper insertion. The threaded bottom bracket features a secure, three-bolt ISCG05 chain guide mount. The UDH dropout is tough and future-proof. There's a new and improved down tube storage system. An angle-adjust headset with Internal Cable Routing, but also head tube ports for optional semi-internal cables. And a modular top tube mount for your Garmin/Wahoo/X-Mount device. Trail-ready, all of it.
