Comfortable and balanced when touring, controlled and good-natured on the trail, plus it's also very forgiving on rough descents. The Stereo 140 also climbs challenging steep sections and technical passages with ease. The suspension focusses on comfort rather than support. Downhill, the Stereo does not achieve absolute top values - both in nasty enduro terrain and in terms of playfulness. But if you don't want to go the whole hog on the trail and push the speed limits, you'll have fun off-road with the Stereo. The equipment is outstanding, offering everything that touring and trail bikers need.
Conclusion on the Cube Stereo Hybrid 140 Action Team
Good-natured all-rounder that makes comfort-conscious and sporty bikers equally happy. Balanced and powerful. No longer the first choice for racy trail and enduro use.
