Expirience with the CUBE STEREO 120 RACE

CUBE STEREO 120 RACE Review
Ludwig Döhl
The STEREO 120 RACE is one of the most aggressively priced trail bikes in the world. Hardly any model promises more riding pleasure at lower prices. The geometry is moderate and makes for a balanced handling. When sitting in the saddle, the posture is neither overly sporty, nor uber-comfortable. This should make the STEREO 120 RACE suite the taste of most bikers. But the STEREO 120 RACE still holds an ace op its sleeve: compared to the direct market environment, it has a significantly better suspension.

Je steiler der Winkel des Sitzrohrs ist, desto effizienter können Sie in die Pedale treten.
