Cube Stereo Action Team
The Cube Stereo Action Team is an ultra-light enduro bike with no compromises. There is still some potential in the cockpit and the rear suspension function.

The numerous successes of the team led by Nicolas Lau and André Wagenknecht are not the only proof that Cube puts its heart and soul into enduro sport. The carbon Stereo with 650B wheels and a whopping 160 millimetres of suspension travel also pulls out all the stops when it comes to light weight and yet plenty of suspension travel. At an incredible 2314 grams for the frame and shock, the Stereo is the only frame in the comparison to remain well below the three-kilo mark, but it also has the lowest stiffness. Other 2014 parts help to bring the total weight down to just under twelve kilos without lazy compromises. Record. Race Face Next SL cranks, wide DT Swiss Spline 1 wheels and the new R1 Racing brake levers from Formula. Cube relies on foldable downhill tyres (Supergravity) from Schwalbe as the perfect complement to the hardcore trails on the Lago. The longer stem in combination with the unconventionally cranked prototype handlebars from Syntace are somewhat detrimental to handling.

  The smaller chamber volume of the damper has a positive effect. However, the damping could be stronger.Photo: BIKE Magazin The smaller chamber volume of the damper has a positive effect. However, the damping could be stronger.
