Cube Stereo 140 HPC Rookie grey n olive
Fully Mountainbike

Arguably our most ambitious bike for young riders so far, the Stereo 140 HPC Rookie moves the bar for kids' bikes even higher. From its perfectly proportioned carbon frame to the 150mm Marzocchi Z2 suspension fork and Fox Float DPS Performance rear shock, it's a serious bike for having serious fun on the trails. We fitted a Newmen Evolution wheelset for its combination of low weight and durability, complemented by the smooth power of Magura's MT Thirty hydraulic disc brakes. And Shimano's 1x12 Deore transmission serves up a huge gear range and the peace of mind of legendary reliability. It's a winning combo.

Frame and equipment

Packaging great performance, low weight and safe-but-fun handling into a smaller frame isn't always easy, but we love a challenge. The Stereo 140 HPC Rookie's frame combines 140mm of refined suspension kinematics with perfect proportions – in two sizes – and all the advantages of our advanced carbon construction. We added a replaceable gear hanger in case of accidents, and the internal cable routing keeps gear shifts cleaner for longer. It's the complete, pint-sized all-mountain package.

The advantages of 27.5 inch tires

27.5 inch wheels are the logical addition to the large 29 inch wheels and the optimum compromise for all smaller riders and trail fanatics. The combination of smoothness and manoeuvrability meets every wish of a biker. More agile than the 29 inch wheels and therefore the optimal choice for off-road driving and hairpin bends that leave you with little reaction time. This category offers the best choice especially for those changing from 26 inch wheels. 27.5 inch combines the best of two worlds and creates bikes that are not restricted in their use. Whether Fully or Hardtail - 27.5 inch is the golden mean and the perfect tyre size for all who want to use their mountain bike according to its purpose.
