CUBE Reaction

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. 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.

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.

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.

A seriously rapid bike demands serious components in the pursuit of speed. Which is why, for the Reaction C:62 SLX, we began by selecting a Fox 32 Float Performance SC fork with remote lockout – to help you keep the rubber side down and pointing where you want it. Sram's GX Eagle Transmission 1x12 gears serve up the huge range and crisp, accurate shifts you'd expect. 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. Semi-integrated cable routing complements the frame's clean aesthetic and UDH means it's future-proof, while Agile Ride Geometry does exactly what you'd expect, delivering safe but responsive handling. And, with a wide range of sizes from S to XXL, there's one to suit practically any rider.

The name of the Reaction C:62 Race's game is speed, which is why we chose components that you can rely on from start to finish.

Keeping your speed in check is easy, thanks to matching Shimano XT hydraulic disc brakes.
