2012 Cube Stereo SL Full Suspension Mountain Bike
For riders who are looking for a new bike loaded with technical innovations, the new Stereo SL from Cube Bikes for 2012 is just perfect. This 13.1kg full-suspension mountain bike has 140mm of drive-neutral suspension travel, so it is ideal for all-mountain terrains, long distance tours, and Alpine cross rides.
On the rear triangle and rear wheel of the Stereo SL, Cube Bikes has diminished braking and pedaling forces through the combination of FSP 4 Link and Dual Trail Control designs. The FSP 4 Link uses four-pivot chainstay construction while the Dual Trail Control is a four-pivot suspension system.
Built from high performance aluminum, the frame of the 2012 Cube Stereo SL Full Suspension Mountain Bike combines great strength and light weight. Stiffness and responsiveness are enhanced by the triple-butted and hydroformed tubing in order to deliver the best performance possible.
on bike raidar their are two reviews and the first one says that the stereo sl is not very good and very twitchy on down hill runs but the next review goes on to say that its a very good bike in all areas ,, that said i dont know what to think , cus a lot of people pick their bikes on the strength of these reviews .. does anyone have any thoughts on this,, also i,m thinking of buying a stereo sl and would like to know if they are any good,, thanks ..
i also read these two reviews and thought the same as you ,, i,w stuck between the norco sight 2 and the stereo sl , with what i,ve read i think that the norco sight 2 is a better ride but the stereo sl is so well speced its mouth watering but other peoples reviews are good about the stereo sl , so i know this is of no use to you but i,m in the same boat still dont know witch one to buy cus its not as if you can try before you buy , not like you need to when your spending £2500 .
