Your bike should be an extension of you, so that you can just enjoy the ride. That's why, with the Aim ONE, we fitted a 100mm suspension fork and grippy 2.25in tyres. Together, they help keep you comfortable and in control, no matter what surface you're riding on. Shimano's 2x8-speed gears give you the range you need at the push of a button, and powerful Shimano hydraulic disc brakes bring you safely to a stop no matter what the weather's doing. And Size Split, with its huge range of sizes, means every rider can find their perfect Aim.Frame descriptionBeauty is more than skin deep: the Aim's sleek looks are thanks to its Smooth Welded head tube and seat tube junctions, flattered by Internal Cable Routing to reduce clutter. It incorporates a threaded bottom bracket and a flat disc mount that integrates seamlessly with our kickstand mount, plus integrated mounting points for ACID mudguards and carrier. Carefully thought-out geometry includes a lower top tube for more confident handling, and there's plenty of room to run wide, grippy and comfortable 2.25in tyres. Our Size Split system has an expanded range, too, so however tall you are there'll be an Aim that fits perfectly.
The Reaction C:68X SLX is made for speed. Our premium C:68X® carbon frame combines exceptionally low weight with high stiffness and comfort that keeps you fresher for longer on lengthy XC laps. The improved junction between seat tube, top tube and seatstays enhances the flowing lines and allows an integrated seatpost clamp. Cables and hoses also run fully internally, leaving nothing to disturb the clean look.The equipment does this light, efficient frame justice. A Fox 32 Step-Cast Performance fork keeps the front wheel grounded and prevents sliding in fast corners. Do not underestimate Schwalbe's Racing Ray and Ralph either. Their speed is well known, but their grip is surprisingly good too. For maximum efficiency, we have fitted them to lightweight carbon Newmen Phase 30 wheels. SRAM GX Eagle Transmission handles speeding up, while powerful Magura MT8 disc brakes handle slowing down. From a demanding Heuvelrug ride to an XC race or marathon, this carbon speed machine is ready to attack.
While a regular Reaction prioritises speed, the TM version's aluminium frame is made for rough terrain. Long, low and slack geometry provides the confidence you need on demanding trails. A 65-degree head angle and short chainstays combine stability with agility. Clearance for tyres up to 2.5 inches gives plenty of freedom to tune grip. UDH dropouts, a solid chainstay protector and ISCG chain guide mounts prepare everything for hard use.The components are equally ready for their demanding task. An air-sprung SR Suntour XCR36X with 140 millimetres of travel offers plenty of traction and control even on very rough terrain. The 11-speed Shimano Cues drivetrain offers a pleasingly broad range and exceptional wear resistance. Magura Louise disc brakes provide stopping power, with an extra-large 203-millimetre front rotor. The 2.4-inch Schwalbe Magic Mary and Tacky Chan tyres deliver maximum grip and control through their aggressive tread and grippy rubber compound. A dropper post adds the finishing touch. Our most versatile hardtail for budget-conscious trail riders.

What is a hardtail MTB?
A hardtail mountain bike is characterized by one suspension, in the front fork. With a hardtail MTB you can ride with confidence on technical trails. The stiff rear gives you the necessary control when taking sharp turns and overcoming obstacles. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced rider, a hardtail mountain bike is a great choice for anyone who wants to have fun on the trails.
A hardtail mountain bike is characterized by one suspension, in the front fork.
Advantages of Hardtail Mountain Bike
A hardtail mountain bike has a number of advantages over a full suspension mountain bike . Firstly, a mountain bike hardtail is generally lighter in weight. The higher stiffness of the frame ensures that you have more direct contact with the ground, which is nice when mountain biking. This also makes pedaling lighter than with a fully. Due to the stiffness of the hardtail, the pedaling force is transferred directly to the rear wheel of the bike, making a hardtail more suitable for paved roads. A hardtail mtb is therefore more widely applicable than a fully. For example, also for cross country. Of course, make sure that the hardtail mountain bike has the correct dimensions, our specialists in the physical CUBE Stores can help you with this. Depending on the size of the bike, you will have between 27.5 inch and 29 inch wheels on the hardtail MTB.
Climbing with a hardtail MTB
When climbing, you often have an advantage with a hardtail, because of the stiff frame and the lower weight of the bike. Finally, a hardtail mtb is cheaper than a full suspension mtb. The purchase price is lower, but also in terms of maintenance you are cheaper. Because the Netherlands generally has a flat landscape, you can get by very well with a hardtail mtb. So you see that a lack of rear suspension with a hardtail does not have to be a disadvantage at all. Less is more!
Are you going to ride international and rough trails? Then you better look at a Fully.
