Cube Reaction C:62 review

Mar 2019 · Guy Kesteven

Fork, bar and tyre issues, but stiff, lightweight future-proofed frame is a great investment

Highs
  • Lightweight, stiff and dropper-ready carbon frame

  • Comparatively stable steering

  • Quality Shimano 2x11 transmission

Lows
  • Basic, heavy fork

  • Heavy wheels and slippery tyres

  • Narrow bar and short frame reach

Cube Reaction TM review

Apr 2018

Cube's Reaction TM is a harder hitting version of their high-value aluminium Reaction hardtail range, pairing a sturdy 130mm fork up front with fat 2.6" tyres on 27.5" wheels. It's cracking value and much more capable in the rough than the rest of the range if you like hacking about in the woods, but there are harder edged weapons out there if you want to go full gonzo.
