The Stereo is a true evergreen in the Cube MTB portfolio. Of the seven different model series, the Stereo 240 One is the smallest bike. We tested the children's bike.

Unfortunately, the weight of the children's stereo is also high. Together with the narrow range of the nine-speed drivetrain, this puts a damper on uphill fun. The rest of the equipment is suitable for children. Grips and brake levers are well adapted to the needs of kids. The Magura stoppers are the best brakes in the Fully test field. With four pistons at the front and two at the rear, they pack a powerful punch. Together with the grippy tyres, this gives you a lot of confidence on descents.

Test summary of the Cube Stereo 240 One by Clara (8 years):

"The blue glistens so beautifully. The Cube is great over roots. The brakes are great and I feel comfortable on the bike. I don't get uphill so well on it. It's too heavy for me."
