Cube Stereo 160 Super HPC SL 27.5 Mountain Bike 2015 - Full Suspension MTB
The Cube Stereo 160 Super HPC SL is a very capable full sus enduro / long travel trail bike which is ready to take on almost any trail you point its way. The HPC SL climbs like a marathon bike and descends like a freeride bike.
You can buy the Stereo 160 Super HPC SL through a 0% interest Tredz Finance package.
Frame
This Stereo 160 comes with a Super HPC carbon composite frame. The frame is full carbon including the rear triangle - not something you get on every carbon full susser. Advanced Twin Mold construction ensures perfect layup of carbon fibres during the curing process.
You’re getting the same frame the Cube Action Team uses, which has podiumed on the EWS so you know it’s cutting edge technology.
Geometry is spot on with a slack 66.5 degree head angle, low bottom bracket height and long wheelbase for stability at speed and while cornering. The tapered steerer tube increases rigidity, as does the X12 bolt through rear axle for a stiffer rear end. This bolt through also allows for quick and easy wheel changes. You also get internal cable routing for gearing and dropper post cables.
Suspension
Up-front you get a Fox 34 float fork with 160mm travel, which is lighter than the other forks in the range with CTD matching the compression modes of the shock.
Fox Float CTD shock has an adjustable trail mode (CTD comes with climb, trail and descend compression damping) so you can fine tune the amount of compression damping in this mode. The shock setup is customised specifically for the 160 by Fox themselves. Kashima coating on the fork and shock is super plush and durable.
The big talking point has to be the 4 bar suspension system which remains active under braking. Chain tension isn’t affected by the system so remains active while you’re pedalling. There is no pedal kickback or pedal induced bob. Sealed cartridge bearings on all pivot points keep everything nice and smooth.
Components
You get the full Shimano XT drivetrain with its superior performance and ultra slick shifting. XT Shadow plus rear mech helps to keep the chain in place when the going gets rough. Direct mount shifters also keep the cockpit nice and clean. XT hydraulic disc brakes are very powerful with excellent modulation for confident use on the most technically demanding sections.
The DT Swiss wheelset is a high performance setup with straight pull spokes for added strength and durability. Wide (25mm internal width) rims are tubeless ready too.
One of the best features has to be the addition of the RockShox Reverb Stealth dropper post - it’s simply the best on the market.
Finishing kit includes Race Face Next SL full carbon handlebars which look great. These bars are tough and durable and one of the stiffest around.
