Cube Reaction C:62 SL review

Jul 2020 · Tom Marvin

Fast reactions to pedal inputs help on climbs, but the stiff chassis affects descending capability

Highs
  • Instant acceleration

  • Impressive spec, with well-chosen components across the board

Lows
  • Harsh ride chokes descending speed and rough-trail acceleration

  • Tyres are thin and need higher pressures to prevent punctures, adding to the uncompromising ride feel

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.
