The revamped Cube Stereo range covers bikes from 120mm to 170mm of travel, with the German brand claiming geometry and suspension kinematics have been revised throughout the range.

The range starts with the Stereo ONE22. This has 120mm of suspension travel, which is then increased to 140mm on the Stereo ONE44 trail bike.

The Stereo ONE55 will feature 155mm of travel, with the Stereo ONE77 having 170mm. Both bikes are aimed towards enduro and all-mountain riding.

Cube is also updating its 160mm Stereo Hybrid ONE55 electric mountain bike. The enduro-focused carbon ebike will be available with a 750Wh battery and uses Bosch’s CX Smart System.

All bikes in the range run on 29in wheels.
