Cube Reaction C:62 Pro grey´n´metal

The "Reaction C:62 Pro grey’n’metal" model from Cube, released in 2023, is a high-quality mountain bike which, at a price of 1,999 EUR, represents an attractive option for ambitious riders. The frame is constructed using C:62® Monocoque Advanced Twin Mold Technology and, thanks to its ARG2 geometry and tapered headtube, offers excellent stability and stiffness. The PressFit bottom bracket and Boost 12x148mm axles further enhance its robustness, whilst the internal cable routing and dropper post readiness round off the design.

The bike’s maximum load capacity is 115 kg, and it weighs just 11 kg itself, making it a lightweight yet robust model. The brakes are Shimano XT BR-M8100 hydraulic disc brakes, measuring 180 mm at the front and 160 mm at the rear, which ensure reliable braking performance. Gear changes are handled by the Shimano XT RD-M8100-SGS ShadowPlus 12-speed rear derailleur and the Shimano Deore SL-M6100-IR shifter with Rapidfire Plus technology, enabling precise and fast gear changes.

The RockShox Judy Gold RL Air suspension fork, with 100 mm of travel and a OneLoc remote control, ensures a comfortable ride even on uneven terrain. The drivetrain consists of a Shimano FC-MT611 crankset with a 32-tooth chainring and a Shimano Deore CS-M6100 cassette with a range of 10–51 teeth, combined with the Shimano CN-M6100 chain.

The handlebar setup features a CUBE Flat Race Bar, 720 mm wide, with ACID React Pro grips, complemented by the CUBE Performance Stem SLX with a diameter of 31.8 mm. The VP Integrated headset (1 1/8" top, 1 1/2" bottom) ensures precise steering.

The wheelset consists of Answer Atac AM rims, which are tubeless-ready and feature an axle configuration of 15x110 mm at the front and 12x148 mm at the rear. The tyres chosen are Schwalbe Racing Ray Addix Performance Kevlar in size 2.25 at the front and Schwalbe Racing Ralph Addix Performance Kevlar in the same size at the rear, ensuring optimum grip and speed.

The Natural Fit Venec saddle and the CUBE Performance seatpost, with a diameter of 27.2 mm, offer comfort even on longer rides. The saddle is secured using the CUBE Varioclose clamp with a diameter of 31.8 mm. The bike’s gross weight is 11,500 g, reflecting its high-quality components and robust construction.
