Combining the smooth, tractable power of Bosch's fourth-generation drive system with a box-fresh frame, Fox suspension and Sram's 12-speed transmission, it's got the aggressive geometry and progressive suspension kinematics you need to smash the descents and the gear range and power to get you back up the climbs faster than ever. We threw all our Enduro World Series experience at the new frame design, combined with our engineering team's carbon construction know-how and years of figuring out how to get the best from Bosch's drive systems. The result is pretty special. The carbon main frame's Modular Battery System hides the Bosch power unit inside the down tube, protected from impact, dirt and water ingress by a shock-resistant, quick-release cover with a built-in, hidden lock. It's not just neat, it's also a higher capacity battery than before, which means you can ride further, faster and harder than before. The Boost 148 rear end, oversized bearings and large 1.5in steerer all contribute to razor-sharp handling, no matter how hard you ride. And there's even room for a bottle cage mount, so you can pack extra hydration or a tool kit for those long days out in the mountains. A Fox Float DPX2 Performance shock with trunnion mount pairs with a Fox 36 Float Performance fork for controlled, smooth and progressive boulder-chewing suspension performance, while Magura's MT7 hydraulic disc brakes with 203mm rotors and Schwalbe Magic Mary and Hans Dampf Super Gravity tyres running on Fulcrum E-Metal wheels ensure you're always in full control. And as for drive, you've got seamless Bosch assistance delivered via Sram's positive-shifting, wide-ranging NX Eagle 12-speed gearset. We even included a remote dropper post, so you're all out of excuses for not riding that new, tight and steep line. Add it all up and it means one thing: the Stereo Hybrid 160 HPC TM has got your back, bro.

Some people laughed when we said we could build a hybrid enduro bike capable of taking on the world's toughest EWS trails. Well, they're not laughing now. The new Stereo Hybrid 160 HPC rewrites the rules, blending the big-hit ability of a dialled big-mountain machine with the ride-anywhere versatility of Bosch's fourth-generation drive system. There's literally no mountain too high, or too steep, for this bike. Key to its success is a brand-new main frame constructed from carbon. The versatility of this material allowed our engineers to create an entirely new setup - the Modular Battery System - to house the Bosch power unit entirely within the down tube. Hidden by a double-layer cover with shock protection, push-button access and a hidden lock, the new system has freed up enough space for the Stereo Hybrid 160 HPC to accommodate a larger capacity 625Wh battery, for significantly extended range - so you can ride further, higher and faster, confident that you've got the juice to keep going. The trunnion shock mount, big bearings and Boost 148 rear axle of the aluminium rear triangle work with the 1.5in head tube to deliver efficient power transfer and millimetre-perfect steering precision, whilst aggressive geometry gives you the advantage you need to show the trails exactly who's boss. We even remembered to add a bottle cage mount and make it chain guide compatible, so you can tailor your Stereo Hybrid 160 HPC exactly the way you want it. Enduro is exciting, but Bosch hybrid power takes it to a new level. Are you up for it?
