There are many things that go into a really good trail bike, and a great-looking, top-performing frame is certainly one of them – so the Stereo HPC TM is off to a decent start. But we didn't stop there. Any Trail Motion bike of ours also needs to be able to walk the walk, so we chose a Fox 36 Float Performance Elite Grip X fork and Float X Performance Elite shock. With 145mm of rear- and 150mm of front-wheel travel, they keep the rubber side – in this case Schwalbe Magic Mary and Romy 2.5in tyres on Newmen Beskar 30 wheels – down and rolling. Sram Maven Base hydraulic discs put you in complete control, and Sram's Eagle 90 Transmission 1x12 gears transfer your power to the trail. With a remote dropper post for better control on rowdy trails, it's ready for anything.
