We built the Stereo Hybrid ONE44 to be as adaptable as it is capable. With its compact PowerTube battery and revised, quieter Bosch CX drive unit, it features 140mm of front and rear wheel travel and includes space for mudguards. Internal Cable Routing flatters the frame's clean, organic lines as well as reducing the need for maintenance. There's a set of SIC 2.0 mounting points for the addition of an optional luggage carrier, the UDH dropout is future-proof and the direct mount chainguard is neat and unobtrusive. Plus, with Size Split, there's a frame to suit almost every rider.

You can tell the Stereo Hybrid ONE44 EXC means business, because it sports Fox's smooth, accurate 36 AWL Float fork up front and a matching Float Rhythm RC shock out the back. Combined with the tenacious grip of Schwalbe's Nobby Nic 2.6in tyres and a pair of powerful, progressive Shimano XT hydraulic disc brakes with 203mm rotors, it's all you need to keep the rubber side down and rolling on even the roughest of trails. Combined with the PowerTube battery, up to 85 Nm of assistance from the Bosch CX motor and the easy shifting and huge range of Shimano's XT 1x12 gears, the only question is where you'll be heading off to for your next trail adventure.
