Cube Reaction Hybrid Performance 625 polarsilver´n´blue

The “Reaction Hybrid Performance 625 polarsilver’n’blue” from Cube, released in 2022, is a high-quality e-bike priced at 2649 EUR. The frame is made from Superlite aluminium and utilises Gravity Casting technology to ensure high stability and low weight. The Agile Ride Geometry ensures an agile and comfortable ride, whilst the tapered head tube and internal cable routing give the bike a clean, uncluttered look. The frame is also fitted with mounting points for a kickstand, mudguards and a luggage rack, and features a fully integrated battery.

For the brakes, Cube has opted for Shimano BR-MT200 hydraulic disc brakes with 180 mm discs at the front and rear, which ensure reliable braking performance. Gear changes are handled by the Shimano RD-M3100-SGS 9-speed rear derailleur and the Shimano SL-M3100-R Rapidfire-Plus shifter, enabling precise and quick gear changes. The SR Suntour NVX30 Coil fork, with 100 mm of travel, offers good damping and enhances comfort on uneven trails.

The bike is fitted with CUBE PP MTB pedals, which ensure a secure grip. The ACID E-Crank crankset, with a length of 175 mm and a 38-tooth chainring, together with the Shimano CS-HG201 cassette with 11–36 teeth, ensures efficient power transfer. Power is transmitted via a KMC X9 chain.

The handlebars are 720 mm wide CUBE Rise Trail Bars, combined with CUBE Race Grip grips and a CUBE Performance Stem Pro with a 31.8 mm diameter, which allows for an ergonomic and comfortable hand position. The headset consists of ACROS components, which ensure precise steering.

The Rodi Blackrock 23 rims are tubeless-ready and, in combination with the 2.35 Schwalbe Smart Sam tyres, offer good traction and stability. The hubs are from Shimano (HB-TX505 at the front and FH-TX505 at the rear) and are fitted with Centre Lock brake disc mounts.

The Natural Fit Sequence saddle and the CUBE Performance seatpost, with a diameter of 30.9 mm, offer a high level of comfort on longer rides. The saddle is secured using the CUBE Varioclose clamp with a diameter of 34.9 mm.

The bike is powered by a third-generation Bosch Performance Line motor with a torque of 65 Nm and an output of 250 watts. Power is supplied by the Bosch PowerTube 625 battery, which is integrated into the frame. The Bosch Purion display offers simple operation and displays all key information at a glance. The Bosch charger has an output of 2A.

Overall, the Cube Reaction Hybrid Performance 625 in polar silver and blue offers a well-thought-out package combining high-quality components and state-of-the-art e-bike technology, making it ideal for a wide range of uses.
