For This Bike
Jul 2018
The new Cube Stereo 140 is one of the best value mountain bikes we’ve seen this season. For $4K there’s a lot to like about it on paper, and after a few weeks riding we’ve really found it equally as impressive.
Amazing value.
Dialled suspension.
Robust construction.
Lively and fun.
Needs tubeless and a cable trim.
Front end wanders on steep climbs.

We detailed Cube's move to 29" wheels on the new Stereo 150 29, built for their Enduro World Series team. Previewing the affordable carbon bike in Finale Ligure, we rode away impressed with the 29er's agile & responsive ride on the technical terrain, chasing downhill after Cube's pro riders.

Rapid on the climbs, but old-school handling is at odds with the long-travel intentions. Buy if you're after a long travel bike that still climbs well, and hanker for the masochistic challenge an old-school handling package
Lightweight build, carbon frame and steep seat angle makes for a rewarding, spritely feel on the climbs. Sensitive suspension works well once a large volume spacer is added to the shock
Short reach, tall frame and long stem make for wayward handling on steep terrain and tight corners too

Some positive changes to the geometry and handling of the Cube Stereo 140 29 C:62 SL for 2017. It’s also upgraded to a full carbon chassis and handlebar.
