Cube Stereo 140 HPC Race 27.5 is a performance dual suspension bike with 140mm of travel. Aimed at the experienced rider, this bike is built to handle aggressive trail and all-mountain style riding.

The carbon frame is made using Advanced Twin Mold Technology to ensure maximum strength whilst keeping the weight to an absolute minimum. The geometry is designed to make an efficient ride, but allow you to push hard on the descents. A slack 66.5 degree head angle keeps you feeling in control when the trail gets hairy, but a steep seat tube angle gets you on top of the bike for maximum power whilst climbing.

The Stereo 140 features the ETC4 suspension design, The low leverage ratio and linear rate curve makes the bike very sensitive, avoids bobbing and offers full usable travel all the time. This makes the bike efficient up the climbs, but also allows for a stable and confidence inspiring ride on the descents.

Fox suspension in the front and rear provides plenty of support right through the travel, keeping the bike stable and predictable. Shimano SLX/XT gearing provides effortless and accurate shifting through the 1x11 drivetrain. Shimano Deore brakes provide ample stopping power and excellent control to keep you rubber side down on the trails.

The Cube Stereo 140 is a performance all-mountain style bike, perfect for the enthusiast mountain biker looking to step up there riding to the next level.

For the 2018 Stereo 140 Race 27.5 we went all the way back to the drawing board. With a new carbon frame design and 150mm fork, the only thing that hasn't changed is that this is still the ultimate all mountain machine - light, nimble, and versatile almost beyond your imagination. For this bike we selected Fox's 34 Rhythm fork and Float DPS EVOL shock for front and rear air springs that are easy to set up, easy to adjust and with a performance that'll have you coming back for more, ride after ride. The 2x11 transmission with Race Face chainset means you can easily switch to a 1x11 setup if that's your preference, while strong Answer Atac wheels with a wide 30mm rim are anchored by Shimano's reliable, evergreen Deore hydraulic disc brakes. Add a Race Face cockpit and the only thing that's missing is a rider. Will you step up?

CUBE's engineers love a challenge. So when we told them they had to make the new Stereo 140 even better looking and even better handling, they set to it with a vengeance. The result is one of our most stunning frames yet - a blend of carbon main frame and aluminium rear triangle that's so elegant, you won't believe it offers 140mm of rear wheel travel. Hidden frame pivots, internal cable routing, a shorter rocker and a trunnion mount shock all contribute to the clean looks. But we've not forgotten function, either. The Boost 148 rear end, combined with the massive down tube and tapered head tube all contribute to a super-efficient, super-accurate chassis that goes where you point it, every single time. Short chainstays and a low standover are part of the agile handling, and the geometry is designed to handle both a 150mm fork and extended periods of climbing with ease. Agile all-rounder? You bet.
