Frame
Produced with fastidious attention to detail, the Stereo HPA's triple butted and hydroformed chassis offers everything you could ever want from an aluminium frame. The details include a tapered head tube, PressFit bottom bracket and clever AXH dropouts as well as internal cable routing, integrated disc caliper mounts compatible with 180mm rotors and a stiff, forged rocker linkage. We've developed Agile Ride further - the latest version of Agile Trail Geometry includes reduced standover height for greater clearance and a slightly longer reach. Combined with compact chainstays, it delivers fantastically lively handling while remaining stable at high speed. This is a frame with unmistakable performance pedigree.
Components
The Stereo 140 HPA Pro 27.5's component selection features only the best. From the peerless 2016 Shimano XT 2x11 transmission with 36x26T chainset to the custom-tuned Manitou suspension setup, it's all about riding performance. Up front, Manitou's new Minute fork with TPC suspension and the stiff and cunning HexLock™ quick release axle also saves weight with its TS Air System. At the rear, the matching Radium Expert shock smooths the trail with adjustable damping and lockout. Hauling everything to a halt is Shimano's Deore BR-M506 brake system, complete with adjustable lever reach. A strong, durable and tubeless-ready Answer Atac wheelset with 23mm rims blends low weight with reliable performance. Our in-house CUBE dropper post adds a dose of extra versatility for rough, steep trails.
