In my opinion as a mechanic and a racer, 800mm bars are just the result of the trend where bars were getting bigger and bigger. 780mm in my opinion is the maximum people need as it strikes a good balance between stability and maneuverability.
Really interesting point though I have to say surely it comes down to the size of the rider. I’m a wide person so need wider bars than a narrow person to achieve the same body position.
@@sessionmediaa yeah for sure a 5’7” person won’t need the same bar size as someone who is 6’3”
@@Arxhiemtb on my previous bike which was smaller than this I kept increasing the size of my bars and it just kept feeling more comfortable because I was less and less cramped. I think now I have this bike which fits me better I shouldn’t need to go much wider.
@@sessionmediaa yeah definitely geo makes a huge difference, the reach particularly. If the reach is slightly too small a larger reach is definitely recommended and vice versa
@@Arxhiemtb complicated subject isn’t it. I’d like to do a side by side compare as soon between bar widths.
My dude, you have under 800 subs yet your content matches creators with hundreds of thousands. Absolutely loving the channel. Keep it up bro! 🤙
Thank you so much, that's really kind. I've got to start churning out some more videos! Thanks for the motivation Bro!
Can’t beat the start of that video . Awesome video again mate full of useful info and review 😄😀. Loved it
Thanks man! I hope it was worth the pain today 😂😂😂😂
Super video, enjoyed, keep it up man !!
Thank you so much!
Very nice👍😎 Have Fun and a good Time with the Bike 🤘
Thank you man!! It’s so good!
@@sessionmediaa i know 😁
Awesome video mate!!!
this bike looks so cool! keep it up :) :)
Thanks so much! Yeah the bike is rad! It’s the rider letting it down. Hahah
You're welcome!
Maybe you would enjoy to watch my riding videos too 🤘🤘
@@Pozitivi yeah man!
Becoming my favourite channel me, Keep it up man
NIIIIIICE!!!! Man that’s so kind! Well luckily I’ve just released a new vid so let me know if that’s still the case after you watch it. 😂😂🤘🤘
Yes bro! Looking good!
Thank you man!!
Looking good man!
Thanks man! It’s sick! I’m so pleased with it.
Hi mate nice bike. I'm thinking of getting same bike in xl. Just wandering if the dropper post can slide in all the way in. I'm 184cm and just worried that seat tube is going to be to high. Cheers
Good question. I’ll have a look on mine and get back to you. Pretty sure it can
@@sessionmediaa And what is the answer ?
@@PanMikolaj it can’t slide in all the way. I’m looking at a one up dropper now with a shorter insertion length.
XL at 184? I am riding a medium at 180.
Got the exact same one from start fitness
Nice!! They were the only place I could find them in stock
Had a nice bike brother 🤙🤙🤙👀
It’s sooo good! I’m chuffed!
@@sessionmediaa well you know what new bike I've got I've still got the bossnut v2 but if you're a analogue bike purest then you're not going to like my new e_bike but glad you're out there on a beast 💪🤙👍
@@davesbikelife I saw! That ebike looks a beast! I really like the colours!
@@sessionmediaa thanks you man it is a bit of one mate yeah 👍💪💪👌
I just got this bike yesterday!!!!!!!!! So epic!!!
Yes man!!! You’ll have to let me know what you think!!
I absolutely love the suspension!!!! Incredible! So much adjustment and I love the X2! Over all tho! I just love the bike! Everything I ever wanted/need on a bike!!!
Awesome vid dude . I love cube as a brand .
Thanks man. Yeah the bike seems really good at the moment and the guys at cube have been lovely!
@@sessionmediaa a greatly underrated firm . Hopefully that will change with the signing of Danny Hart. I've had two cubes . I think they are a value for money well specked bike . Loved the vid , thrown you a sub 👌
Absolutely!👍👍 thanks man! That means a lot 👍👍👍👍
bought this one as well but mine is coming in march and I'm so excited🤟
Amazing!! Man it’s a brilliant bike so far! I’m sure you’ll have a mega time on it.
Same got mine in December and still waiting for it
@@isaachastings9149 my Bike arrived yesterday 😇 it’s awesome😍
@@leonmarx6502 great, still waiting for mine but apparently it’s the end of this month, hope you enjoy it
@@isaachastings9149 thanks, this bike is the best... I love it😍
How tall are you, mate, and which bike size is it?
I am 192cm and the bike is XL
Another question did the bike come with a shock pump or I need to buy one to setup it?
It didn’t come with a shock pump. I had one already but you would need one to set it up. Good idea to have one anyway to be honest as you’ll want to make changes etc.
@@sessionmediaa Just ordered one this morning,can’t wati to arrive.Thank you that you answer my questions.
Looks mint
It really is! Except for the fall!
Hi, I would like to know if anyone try 27.5 rear wheel on cube stereo 170 and keep the 29 wheel on front?. Thanks
Hi,I want to buy one of this bikes but I don’t know if the brakes are with the one finger lever?
Hey. Yeah I was confused about the “two finger lever” I just use one finger and it feels great. I don’t know why they call it that.
@@sessionmediaa Thank you, i don’t think îs going to be a big difference.
@@traianmaglas1681 I think you’re right! I didn’t notice any real deifference between these and other levers.
Now. Should I get one.
I’ve had a good time with mine so far. 🙂🙂
Hey man! Does it have frame warranty? Planning on buying one so if I crack It I can get a new one....
There’s a two year warranty on the frame. It certainly makes sense to buy new if you think you might brake a frame. 👍👍
Hi, I would like to know if anyone recomend to mullet 27.5 wheel on the rear on the cube stereo 170, and I think that the rear shock configuration should be different. I think the bike should be more agressive for downhill. Or you shoul not recomend. Any experience with that. Thankyou.
I’ve got no experience of it however I would be keen to try. I have a mullet ebike and it’s soooo good!
Ive got the new stereo 170 tm 2021. Its a nice bike, but there are a couple things that need some improvement. Ive got a medium, and i would like the air shock to be mounted in a litzle more progressive position. The 29 wheel at the back always rubs my balls in extreme downhills. The dropper cable rattles in the frame. The sitting position doesnt work out that well for me. The shimano slx cassette has a big problem with mud. When it gets dirty, the chain tends to skip when you are on the smallest gear. The frame doesnt have enough room for a dropper longer than 150 (i would like to have a 160 dropper fully fitting in the frame). The reach is ok, but it could be a little longer. The hayes dominion brake pads make alot of rattling noises. The hub is too quiet for my taste. (it has only 36 points of engagement). The shock has only low speed rebound and compression damping. Ive got the shock on 1 click low speed, but for somene weighing about 55kg, it probably wouldnt get fast enough when fully open.
Nice. Really interesting points.
So the shock can be made more progressive by using volume reducing spacers if that's what you require. I have used them on previous bikes and it makes a huge difference.
Shame about the ball rubbing (hahaha) i heard this was a big issue with racers when they first started using 29er wheels which is one of the reasons some stayed on 27.5 and some on mullets.
I've not noticed the dropper cable rattling yet but i've not ridden mine too much yet.
It's really interesting about the SLX cassette and mud, this isn't a problem i have heard of before but very interesting. Mine is a SRAM Eagle cassette so will be interesting to see if i come across the same issues. I had a shimano 10 speed on the previous bike which was bombproof in the mud so may go back to that if the 12 speed is an issue with mud.
I have heard the issue with dropper posts in the past. I'm lucky in that i have an XL frame and I'm a big guy so I think i will be able to fit a longer dropper as I don't need the seat slammed right down.
Again i have Magura MT5 brakes so cant talk about rattling pads, though if they are rattling it may be caused by a loose split pin. Have you tried tightening by bending it to prevent the noise?
I love having a quiet hub! I know i'm in the minority but i don't see the fascination with loud hubs. Especially because i am an average rider and i'd probably sound like an idiot with loud ones HAHAH.
Unfortunately the shock is just the shock at the end of the day. You get what you pay for. For me, i don't really know what i'd do with high speed comp/rebound so i'm happy enough without it. Worth noting though that the lack of high speed adjustments do not mean your shock won't still be able to respond quickly to small bumps etc, it just means you can't adjust it.
All in all though, some very interesting points raised! Some of those issues, I'm sure will be solved in the future when you come to replace parts like the cassette and pads due to ware.
@@sessionmediaa wow, thx for reading my comment xD. I have the "hayes dominion a4" brakes, and they dont have a pin like other high end brakes. Ive solved the issue, by taking out the "spring" which sits between the pads, spread both sides away from each other and put it back on. The rattling was gone. I would like the shock to sit in a little more progressive possition, so it matches the forks progressivity matches the shock when both dont have a spacer installed. I found sram drivetrains overall to be better. They shift more precisely, are tougher, and still work perfekt even when everything is worn down. The tolerances of the shimano xt shifter ect. Simply dont match the price.
@@iliyadavoodipour258 no problem! 👍👍👍
What size do You have?
@@PanMikolaj I have an XL and I am 190cm tall
what is the difference SL , RACE, MT
I think it’s just spec. I believe the race, which is what I have, has the lowest spec.
How tall are you and which size did you Take?
190cm and I chose the XL
@@sessionmediaa im 193 cm and weigh 100 kg, im really thinking of getting one but up in the air over 27.5 wheel version or the 29 inch
@@paulformaioni37 I've not had too many rides on this one yet but I have to say i like the 29 inch wheels. You can certainly appreciate the rolling speed. Though i've not used it on any technical bits yet.
It looks like Its a 29er that can actually jump
😂 yeah man. To be honest it feels very stable for me (I am a nervous jumper). If you want to see a 29er jump though check out the Orange video on my channel! Biggest UK jumps!
I just ordered this bike yesterday!
NICE!!!!! Man it's sick!
You got it yet, still waiting for mine
@@isaachastings9149 Yeah! Still waiting! Mine is due to come in around May sometime!
Dude you got like 3 feet of air that time!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 🧨
Is this trail or Enduro bike?
So this is an Enduro bike, purely based on it's travel. It has 170mm of travel back and front and some people even classify this as being "super enduro (170mm or more).
@@sessionmediaaif its for Enduro therefore is it good for trail?
@@firdaushaji2638 It is good for trail riding, however the long travel means it's slightly harder to pedal uphill and is designed for going down really quite rough descents. I have it for trail riding as well as using it at bike parks.
Where is the track
It’s a local track to me in a friends woodland.
how much do you weigh?
I weigh 103kg
Great! now go back and try that GoPro!
Fingers crossed it comes soon
This bike’s gone up £500 in a month gutted
Aaaaaggghhhh shit!!! That sucks!
