Cube Stereo 120 Hpc TM 29 (Model 2022) - First ride / Test

Спорт

After one year of mountain biking on an old 26'er, it was time for a new bike. I went for the Cube Stereo 120 hpc tm 29. It's a 29er trail mtb with 130/120mm suspension.
You can see my first ride with the bike and how it handled different types of terrain.
0:00 Walk around bike
1:10 Wheelie

2:40 Rough terrain
3:30 Steep descent

    Like your video! Thanks! Any experience with climbing? I used to ride on little hills with single trails like you do but this summer I will also ride in the alps and I want to know if you think it is also sufficient to use there.

    Upon my opinion this bike would be a good choice to ride in the Alps. It will be a little bit harder to climb in comparison to an XC bike because of its weight. As long as you can keep a steady pace and you don’t ambiate to accelerate out of every corner it will be fine.

    Thanks for the video. I am deciding between this model or Cube Stereo 140 HPC race. That one would be a bit better on difficult trails but this model is better for long trips (endurance type cycling)?

    I don’t think the stereo 140 will be better on difficult trails because it has 27,5 wheels and 29ers roll better over obstacles. The stereo 140 will only be more playfully.

    @@mtbgertd there seems to be two schools of opinion on this. One is like you said, the other one says that it's easier to maneuver and jump over rocks on 27,5 wheels. I guess it's preference then. Anyway stereo 140 is better on downhills as its closer to enduro. Stereo 120 TM other hand is better on climbs.

    Enduro and downhill bikes are all 29ers these days. I would only consider to buy a 27,5 for doing jumplines at bikepark or freeride but then you need a much slacker head angle than the stereo 140 has. You might think the stereo 140 is better downhill because is has more suspension but it needs more suspension to go as smooth as a 29er.

    I pre-stress all my wheels before the first ride. Then retension and balance the spokes close to max tension. Even my cheap wheels are still straight after years of wheelies.

    If your legs are longer than 80cm, you should be fine on a size M. You can use the calculator on the cube website, that worked for me.

    Mooie fiets , ik ben ook aan het kijken voor een nieuwe CUBE, de CUBE Stereo ONE77 Pro 29 Black is ook een mooie fiets , zit alleen even te kijken welke maten goed zijn , ik ben zelf 187 cm....... denk dat ik wel op een XL terecht kom Maat 50 ....... heb je nog tips. Gr Henk

    De ONE77 is een heel andere fiets, meer geschikt voor bikeparks en enduro. De ONE77 is ook 2 kilo zwaarder en dat ga je merken op het vlakke en bergop. De Stereo 150 is bv. meer allround, lichter en toch genoeg veerweg. Bij zowel een stereo 120, 150 en ONE77 zal een maat L te klein voor je zijn dus zeker een XL nemen.

    Puntje van aandacht bij de stereo 120 en 150 is dat de zitbuis behoorlijk lang is. Normaal is dit geen probleem als je 1m87 bent, tenzij je in verhouding korte benen hebt. Veel lager dan 78,5 cm zal je uw zadel niet kunnen zetten bij een maat XL.

    The bike has a low bottom bracket so there is still room for 10 mm extra fork travel. You may need to slide your seat a few mm forward to keep climbing as good.

    I bought CUBE Stereo 150R. My thoughts are I should have bought 120R and slowly overtime update components. I came to know later for decent tracks 120 works. Don't need to go for Allrounder like 150r carbon. It doesn't have option to attach stand.

    The 120 is indeed quite capable on descents but has its limits when you start jumping or do drops higher than 1m. Progession goes fairly quick so you might start to use more of the travel overtime and be glad you chose the 150.

    I don’t like the extra cables from remote lockouts and I never ride with locked suspension unless for wheelies. The front is mostly open. In the back I mostly ride in de mid/trail position and switch it open for rough descents and jumps. I do not ride xc races so i don’t mind needing 1 second to switch a lever.

    Ik hoor dat je een Belg bent, dit review gaf me de doorslag, ik kan er eentje kopen nieuw voor 2100euro wat me echt wel een prijsje lijkt, als ik je zo hoor zijn er geen minpunten aan de fiets? Ik koop hem wel in medium en ben 1m80, aangezien je een dropper post hebt maakt dat ni zoveel uit en een m kader is iets wendbaarder.

    Een medium zal wel lukken want ik heb nadien een kortere stuurpen gemonteerd, desnoods kan jij een iets langere stuurpen monteren. Enkel de dropper post is iets minder van kwaliteit en had redelijk snel wat speling maar daar merk je niets van tijdens het fietsen.

    Enkel de dropper was een minpunt, wel opletten als je de shock oppompt dat je deze om de 30 psi een 10 tal keren induwt om de kamers te balanceren. De fiets is ondertussen verkocht omdat ik tegenwoordig vooral enduro en bikeparken rijd, ik heb dus ene gekocht met meer veerweg.
