1980s cycle couriers adopted the mountain bike for the urban jungle, with good reason – and we've channelled that spirit of versatility into the Reaction Hybrid Performance FE. Bosch's Performance motor – with a 720Wh battery – and the wide range and easy shifting of Shimano's Deore 12-speed gears keep you moving with up to 75Nm of pedal assistance, while powerful Shimano hydraulic disc brakes ensure you can always stop safely, whatever the weather. There's a suspension fork with 120mm travel (100mm for smaller frame sizes) for tackling city potholes and rooty trails, grippy Schwalbe Smart Sam 2.6in tyres, and a comfy saddle and grips for day-long comfort. Fully equipped with mudguards, integrated lights, a luggage carrier and a kickstand, it's all set for adventure – anytime, anywhere.Frame descriptionThe Reaction Hybrid Performance FE is built for all-round versatility, whether you're tackling the daily commute or peaceful forest trails. Bosch's quiet, powerful Performance motor with 75Nm torque is Smart System-equipped, and there's a 720Wh battery for miles of pedal assistance. We fitted mudguards, a luggage carrier, a lighting set and a flat mount kickstand, so you're all set for any journey. There's even mounting points for a lock or multi-tool under the top tube, while Internal Cable Routing reduces clutter and flatters the frame's elegant lines. And, with Size Split, it's easy to find the perfect fit for you.
Ready to take on the trails? Because the Stereo HPC Race certainly is. Start with a RockShox Psylo Silver RC fork, and add a matching Deluxe Select+ RT shock for 145mm of rock- and root-swallowing travel at the rear, and 150mm up front. Add a Newmen Performance 30 wheelset shod with Continental's tenaciously grippy Xynotal 2.4in tyres, and hold it all in check with Magura's powerful Louise hydraulic disc brakes. Add Shimano's legendarily reliable XT 1x12 gears. And finish it all off with a dropper seatpost, because you never know what the trail will throw at you. Yeah... it's definitely ready.Frame descriptionLook, we'll be the first to admit we're pleased with the Stereo HPC's looks. It's pretty sleek, right? The High Performance Carbon front triangle and aluminium rear end are certainly neat. But dig a little deeper, and it's also about practicality and function. So the straight seat tube, for example, allows for a longer dropper post with deeper insertion. The threaded bottom bracket features a secure, three-bolt ISCG05 chain guide mount. The UDH dropout is tough and future-proof. There's a new and improved down tube storage system. An angle-adjust headset with Internal Cable Routing, but also head tube ports for optional semi-internal cables. And a modular top tube mount for your Garmin/Wahoo/X-Mount device. Trail-ready, all of it.
