On the Cube Stereo 150 C:62 SL 29, the C:62 of the mealy-mouthed model name indicates the level of carbon used for the frame construction.

The new Stereo 170 29er offers a killer spec, tons of fun and incredible handling. It’s not quite as surefooted as the best bikes in its category but it isn’t far off
Incredible spec including the fantastic Fox Factory suspension units
Well-proportioned geometry
Loads of fun thanks to the lively, agile ride
Tyres, especially the rear one, just aren’t tough enough to handle full-on riding
Doesn’t feel quite as planted or surefooted as the best in category

Well priced
Rudimentary finish
Flimsy tires

Comfortable and composed.
Bosch CX motor runs very well.
Too conservative for aggressive riding.
Needs tubeless valves.

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.
