So light, so accomplished, so versatile. The Stereo 160 C:62 SL blends our latest full carbon, 27.5in, 160mm chassis with an exclusive package of components to create a bike that's all about putting the fun into the most challenging of trails. This is a bike that'll take on anything you throw at it... and put a smile on your face in the process.

With record-breaking low weight, the carbon frame is a technical masterpiece. But it doesn't just look good - it's also packed full of attention to detail. For starters, we gave it a lower standover height and the option to run a shock with a piggyback reservoir. Then we added Di2 compatability and the stiffness-boosting Boost148 hub system. Sturdy 7075 aluminium hardware reduces weight even more, and the Trail Rocker linkage is made from carbon. Agile Trail Geometry (ATG) gives the 27.5 a very lively ride feel in rough terrain, which combines with our Efficient Trail Control (ETC) suspension system to give a riding experience you won't believe.

Simply put, we went all out with the Stereo C:62 SL. We picked the very best suspension components to provide 160mm of plush, well-controlled travel - a Rock Shox Pike RC fork up front and the Fox Float DPS Performance EVOL shock at the rear. Sram's X1 11 speed transmission gives clean, precise shifts in combination with a Race Face &ælig;ffect SL chainset. The easy modulation and superb power of the Sram Guide R brakes make controlling your speed easy, while stiff and tubeless-ready DT Swiss CSW AM 2.7 wheels keep the bike tracking true through the roughest of turns. Grippy, fast-rolling and tubeless-ready Fat Albert tyres combine with the Rock Shox Reverb dropper post to complete this high performance package.
