Stereo ONE22
Origin
The Stereo ONE22 is Cube's short-travel trail / down-country platform, launched for model year 2024 in Waldershof, Bavaria as part of a wholesale renaming of the Stereo line (the previous Stereo 120 became ONE22). The ONE22 designation refers to its 120 mm rear travel paired with a 130 mm fork; the chassis uses Cube's Efficient Trail Control (ETC) four-link rear suspension with a flex-stay layout to keep weight down. The lineup includes both an HPA aluminium hydroformed frame (entry Pro/Race) and a C:62 carbon frame (TM and SLT trims), with size XS rolling on 27.5'' wheels and S-XL on 29''. Race builds weigh from approximately 14.2 kg, making the ONE22 competitive in the modern down-country segment alongside Trek Top Fuel and Specialized Epic Evo. It is purpose-designed for marathons, XCO racing, and long trail rides where pedalling efficiency matters as much as descending capability.

The verdict
- Outstanding value — reviewers call it nearly unbeatable at its ~€2,500 Race price, undercutting Trek Top Fuel / Specialized Epic Evo rivals on spec-per-euro
- Well-made, stiff HPA alloy frame with clean internal routing and molded protection; build quality praised as a strong point
- Easy, intuitive handling — stable at high speed and with strong climbing traction once the suspension is dialled
- Downhill capability above what 120 mm suggests, thanks to the slacker MY2024 geometry and 130 mm fork
- Wide trim ladder (alloy Race/Pro to C:62 carbon TM/SLT) plus XS-on-27.5" mullet option fitting riders down to ~155 cm
- Not light for a down-country bike — the alloy Race is ~14.2 kg, noticeable on long climbs versus carbon XC rivals
- Suspension needs careful setup out of the box; comfort is only 'top-notch' once properly tuned, so it punishes lazy sag/rebound setup
- Stock ACID Nuance Lite saddle is a common swap-out per reviewers
- Only 120 mm rear travel limits it on truly rough/aggressive descents — it is a fast trail/marathon tool, not an enduro bike
- Cube-house-brand cockpit and dropper on lower trims are functional but unremarkable compared with name-brand components on rivals
