The Reaction Pro is all about the ideal blend of function, reliability and performance. That's why we began with the precision of Shimano's XT 1x12 gears, because they offer an enormous range and an unparalleled reputation for accuracy. We added Shimano hydraulic disc brakes for their reliable all-weather stopping performance to help keep you safe, whether you're out in the hills or battling across town. And we finished with the RockShox Judy Silver air fork, because it combines easy adjustability and a remote lockout with trail-smoothing alacrity. It's the complete package.Frame descriptionThe Reaction's sleek looks are thanks to its Smooth Welded head tube and seat tube junctions. It incorporates a threaded bottom bracket and Internal Cable Routing, plus a flat disc mount that integrates seamlessly with our kickstand mount and integrated mounting points for ACID mudguards and carrier. Trail-ready geometry includes a lower top tube and tapered head tube for more confident handling, and there's plenty of room to run wide, grippy and comfortable 2.25in tyres. And, as your skills increase, there's scope to fit a dropper post upgrade.
Power and control – they're the twin keys to unlocking speed. The Phenix C:68X SLT's lightweight and comfortable one-piece bar/stem combo is a good start, putting everything you need at your fingertips. Sram's XX SL Eagle Transmission groupset serves up fast, ultra-precise electronic shifts over a huge gear range – and the XX SL Eagle crank is power meter-equipped so you can keep an eye on your performance. Fast-rolling Schwalbe Racing Ray and Racing Ralph 2.35in tyres wrapped around light, stiff and strong Newmen Phase 30 wheels deliver your power to the trail, whilst a Fox Float 32 Factory SC fork with remote keeps everything planted and pointing in the right direction. And, to make sure you can maintain speed into every corner, we fitted Magura's powerful MT8 SL brakes with a 180mm rotor up front.Frame descriptionWe know a thing or two about making fast cross-country race frames, but the Phenix C:68X moves the bar even higher. How? For starters, we used our premium C:68X carbon for the ultimate in low weight, high strength and ride comfort. We redesigned the seat tube junction to incorporate an integrated seat clamp. It's a small touch, but – along with Internal Cable Routing – it complements the frame's clean aesthetic and elegant, organic lines. And there's an adjustable angle headset, so you can tweak your bike's handling to suit your own taste.
Getting as fast as possible from A to B cross-country demands components that won't let you down. So, for the Phenix C:68X Race, we started with Sram's all-electronic XO SL Eagle Transmission groupset, to put a huge range of gears at your fingertips. A RockShox SID SL Ultimate RL fork, lightweight Newmen Phase 30 wheels and fast-rolling Schwalbe Racing Ray and Racing Ralph 2.35in tyres all help keep the rubber side down for speed and control. The integrated carbon bar/stem combo is light and comfortable. And powerful Magura MT8 Pro brakes mean you can go faster, for longer.Frame descriptionWe know a thing or two about making fast cross-country race frames, but the Phenix C:68X moves the bar even higher.

A Newmen Beskar 30 wheelset shod with Schwalbe's Racing Ray and Racing Ralph 2.25in tyres delivers rapid acceleration and all the grip that you need. And, last but by no means least, Magura MT8 Pro hydraulic disc brakes give you the power you need to brake harder, later, and stay on the gas for longer.Frame descriptionThere's a good reason for the Reaction C:62's beautifully organic lines and slender stays: it makes for an exceptionally fast, light frame. Our premium C:62 carbon and Advanced Twin Mold manufacturing is just the start. There's an integrated seat clamp, for secure fastening and the neatest possible appearance.

We're picky about which bikes get to wear the Trail Motion name, but the Reaction TM ONE has earned its place in this special CUBE category. Its long, low and slack frame – built to make tough trails easy to handle – is just the beginning. We chose an SR Suntour XCR34 air fork up front for its simple adjustment, 140mm of travel and super-precise steering. It's your wingman for when things get rowdy. Schwalbe's Magic Mary and Big Betty 2.4in tyres aid and abet your line choices, helped along by a remote dropper post. Magura's powerful MT Thirty hydraulic disc brakes with a 203mm rotor up front keep everything under control. And Shimano's 1x11 Cues gears put the right ratio at your fingertips. It's got it all – the rest is down to you.Frame descriptionThere's more than one way to get down a tough trail, and the Reaction TM proves the point. With a 65° head angle, 73.5° seat tube angle and a low standover, it's designed to be stable and reassuring when the trail is throwing questions at you and you're not sure of the answer. Short chainstays tuck the rear wheel under the rider for tight handling and superior traction, and there's plenty of clearance to run tyres up to 2.5in. Stealth dropper routing is standard, of course, as is a UDH hanger for future-proof gearing. And we included a durable moulded chainstay protector for quiet descents, plus an ISCG chain guide to keep everything on track.
What do you do to improve the ride of a great bike that already features great components? You fit better brakes. The Reaction SLX's Shimano XT hydraulic disc brakes' powerful, progressive control doesn't just help keep you safe, it also helps you ride faster and have more fun. Combined with the smooth control of the RockShox Recon Silver air fork and easy shifting and huge range of the Shimano XT 1x12 gears, you're pretty much all set. The Schwalbe Racing Ralph 2.25in tyres – fast-rolling, smooth and grippy – round out the complete trail exploring package.Frame descriptionThe Reaction's sleek looks are thanks to its Smooth Welded head tube and seat tube junctions.

CUBE hardtails are specifically designed for those seeking reliability, performance and versatility in their mountain bike experience
Frame of hardtail MTB
The frame of our hardtail mountain bikes is made of high-quality aluminum or carbon material and is carefully designed for maximum strength and lightweight performance. This ensures a reliable foundation for your adventures on the trails. Our hardtail mountain bikes are equipped with front forks and shock absorbers that provide the right suspension, so you can tackle the roughest trails with confidence. Of course, there is also high-quality gearing on a hardtail MTB.
Brakes on the hardtail MTB
The braking performance of a hardtail is at the highest level thanks to the disc brakes, which stop reliably in all conditions. At CUBE we understand the passion of mountain bikers and offer a wide range of hardtail mountain bikes that meet all your requirements. Discover the freedom of off-road riding and improve your skills with our MTB hardtail. Trust the quality of CUBE!
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.
