Overview of components
Fork
This bike has the RockShox Pike RC fork installed. The fork’s travel is 150mm. Bike forks are good shock absorbers and provide a smooth ride and a great experience. In conclusion, always look for a fork with decent travel when you buy a bike.
Rear Shock
The shock that’s installed on this bike is Fox Float DPS, with a travel distance of 140mm. Rear shocks offer better comfort, better traction, and better cornering. This allows for quicker riding on rough roads and trails. To sum up, get a full-suspension bike if you want the smoothest rides.
Wheels
The STEREO 140 C:62 SL 27.5 2017 bike is equipped with 27.5″ aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. The 27.5″ wheels are a great choice for smaller riders. However, the 27.5″ wheels are less forgiving than the 29″ wheels.
Brakes
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. CUBE STEREO 140 C:62 SL 27.5 is equipped with Hydraulic Disc brakes. With Hydraulic Disc brakes, you’ll be able to stop on a dime, even in wet or icy conditions. To sum up, you can ride your bike with confidence.
Dropper post
Every bike should have a dropper post, and this one does. If used correctly, a dropper post gives you more faith, maneuverability, and greater control over your bike.
