The Stereo ONE44 C:68X SLX's advanced carbon construction, sleek lines and low weight disguise its formidable mountain-taming potential. You might get a hint of its prowess from our choice of RockShox Pike Ultimate fork and Deluxe Ultimate shock, of course. Then there's the 2.4in Schwalbe-clad Newmen Evolution SL A.30 wheels with Magura MT5 hydraulic disc brakes. A remote dropper post, naturally. And the precision and range of Sram's wireless GX Eagle AXS 1x12 gears. It's not so much a wolf in sheep's clothing, more a mountain lion ready to pounce...

Frame description
Don't judge a book by its cover, so the saying goes... but our new Stereo ONE44 C:68X's elegant lines are definitely more than skin deep. Speaking of which, our C:68X Advanced Twin Mold frame is a great place to start for the ultimate in lightweight carbon performance. With an emphasis on lower weight and the best possible performance on the trail, it's small details like the threaded bottom bracket and Angle Set headset that help make the difference. There's a storage compartment built into the down tube with a dedicated holder for a CUBE multitool and room for a specially designed bag to carry all your essentials. And the trunnion shock and semi-integrated seat clamp are the finishing touches to this precise, trail-devouring machine.
