Eurobike preview: Lightweights from Cube

German bike manufacturer Cube has come up with a new geometry concept for the "Stereo". The most striking detail is the new suspension linkage and its position in front of the seat tube. In addition to a 29er version, there is now also a 650B version.

Thanks to a new geometry concept, Cube has been able to ensure that the weight and suspension travel are not left behind. Compared to the old Stereo, the suspension linkage is no longer behind, but in front of the seat tube in the main frame. The "Stereo Super HPC 160 SLT" has also been given modern angles (seat angle 74 and steering angle 66.5 degrees) and a new wheel size. The 160 millimetres of travel at the rear and fork now roll on 650B wheels.

Based on the same geometry approach, there is also a 29er all-mountain bike with plenty of suspension travel in addition to the 650B enduro bike. The "Stereo Super HPC 140 SLT" has 140 millimetres of suspension travel at both ends and will rock the trails on 29er wheels. Both top models are sleek and tidy thanks to internally routed gear cables. Made entirely from carbon, they should weigh just 9.9 kilograms (without pedals). A real challenge.
