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.

A great-value example of exactly how fast and much fun an XC hardtail should be. Buy if you're looking for a fast, fun cross country ride
Excellent balance of efficiency and speed sustain over rough terrain
Smooth, remote control Fox fork and full Shimano XT spec
