Origin
The Cube Stereo has been the brand's trail-MTB flagship since 2006, evolving from a simple aluminium hardtail platform into a category-spanning full-suspension family. The current generation centres on the ETC 4-Link suspension kinematics and Agile Trail Geometry — borrowing from enduro racing to give steeper head angles and more progressive leverage curves. The C:62 carbon variants keep weight in check while the HPA aluminium builds hit compelling price-to-performance ratios.
