Summary
The CUBE Reaction trail bike series offers a mix of agility, stiffness, and value, with models praised for their lightweight frames and quality components like Shimano transmissions. However, some builds suffer from basic forks, heavy wheels, and tyres lacking in wet-weather grip. The bikes are noted for their lively ride quality but can feel cramped and may require upgrades for optimal performance.

Quality Shimano transmissions
Agile and lively ride quality
Good value for money
Decent suspension performance on higher-end models

Tyres lack wet-weather grip
Heavy wheels and narrow rims
Cramped riding position for some
Some components may need upgrading
If you prefer a shorter bike and want a machine that responds well when you lay the watts down, then the C:62 is an excellent upgrade investment

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.
