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 32 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, and fitted to Newmen Performance 30 wheels – round out the complete trail exploring package.Frame descriptionThe Reaction frame's elegantly sculpted lines and super-clean tube joints are part of its appeal, sure. But there's solid practicality there, too. For example, the Internal Cable Routing – which complements the tidy aesthetic – includes cable protection inside the head tube. The 30.9mm-diameter seat tube is ready to accept a remote dropper post. Mounting points at the rear are compatible with our Semi-Integrated Carrier 2.1 and ACID mudguards. A UDH and Boost thru-axle rear end with extra-large chainstay protector is built to be both tough and future-proof. And mounting points under the top tube make it simple to add a compatible ACID tool or other accessory. Form and function, perfectly combined.
The Nulane ONE takes the race-inspired DNA of our road bikes, adds some touring bike practicality and throws in a dose of flat bar ruggedness. The result? A uniquely capable go-anywhere, do-anything bike. Powerful Shimano hydraulic disc brakes offer progressive, reassuring stopping power in any weather conditions. Shimano's simple Essa 1x8 gears will get you there – and back. And elegant CUBE frame design is both practical and stylish. It's the complete package, wherever you're headed.Frame descriptionThe Nulane ONE's frame is a masterpiece of elegant form combined with practical function. We've taken our High Performance Aluminium and crafted it into an elegant structure with Smooth Welding and carefully chosen tube profiles. The integrated seat clamp and Semi-Internal Cable Routing complement the clean aesthetic, and we finished off with an aluminium fork. But it's not just great to look at. There's clearance for 50mm tyres – 45mm with mudguards fitted – and extra mounting points on the top tube for optional accessories like a frame bag or multi-tool, as well as all the usual attachment points for carrier and mudguards. It's the best of all worlds.
For those times when the road peters out on a family ride, the Nuroad Rookie has the cojones to keep going. With tough, comfortable and grippy 40mm Schwalbe tyres fitted to a pair of CUBE disc wheels as standard, it doesn't care whether you're rolling on tarmac or gravel. The full carbon fork saves weight and adds extra comfort, even for long days in the saddle. Mechanical disc brakes serve up ample stopping power whatever the weather gets up to, and 1x10 gears have the range to make light work of any route. It's got adventure in its DNA, so you can feed their curiosity.Frame descriptionBlending the off-road pedigree of our cyclocross bikes with the agility of our road machines and a hint of mountain bike DNA, the Nuroad Rookie's frame is perfectly proportioned for younger riders. We've not skimped on the details, either. Generous clearances mean there's plenty of room for larger-profile tyres, and rack and mudguard mounts open up a host of options for add-on accessories and extended adventures. There's even a full carbon fork, too, which is a more comfortable option than aluminium.
The Numove 240 is designed for low weight, because a lighter bike is one that's easier and more fun for your youngster to ride. The svelte aluminium frame and fork are just the start. We chose a lightweight Thun bottom bracket – made in Germany – and grippy but fast-rolling Schwalbe Smart Sam tyres. V-brakes are powerful and easy to use, thanks to levers that are specially designed to fit small hands. Handlebars and grips are also narrower than usual, while the light and fully adjustable CUBE stem means you can easily tweak reach and height as your rider grows and their skills develop. And the 8-speed gears are the finishing touch, giving the confidence and range to keep up on family adventures.Frame descriptionEven kids know that light is fast. That's just one of the reasons we built the Numove 240's frame to be as light as possible, whilst still retaining the strength and durability that a growing child's bike needs in order to be able to withstand the rough and tumble of everyday use. With geometry designed to be both fun and safe and a matching fork that flatters the frame's low weight, it's the ideal base from which to grow your child's skills and confidence.
