Cube wanted to make something a bit special with their Reaction TM. A trail-ready hardtail with a dose of attitude, it's got everything you need to push your trail riding to the next level. With 2.6in tyres and an X-Fusion RC32 fork with thru axle and 130mm of smooth, easily adjusted travel, you can tell right away that this is a bike that's up for a challenge. The frame's built for the job, with a rear thru axle, tapered head tube and complex-profile, hydroformed main frame tubes for exactly the right combination of stiffness, strength and comfort. The Newmen cockpit with 760mm handlebar gives you the confidence and extra control you need on the toughest of trails, while powerful Magura MT Thirty hydraulic disc brakes ensure you can always scrub off speed when you need to. Sram's simple, reliable and extraordinarily wide-ranging 1x12 transmission puts the right gear for any situation within easy reach, and we even fitted a dropper post so you're ready for those pulse-quickening line choices. The Reaction TM also makes use of all their aluminium frame-building know-how to make a frame that's fast, light and tough as nails. Triple-butted, hydroformed tubes allow Cube engineering team to finesse weight savings wherever possible, whilst ensuring that the resulting chassis is stiff, strong and built to last. Accurate steering is assured thanks to a combination of the Boost thru axle, complex-profile down tube and tapered head tube - good to know when you're navigating a trail full of boulders at speed. Internal cable routing keeps mud, water and grit out of your gear cables so you can spend your time riding, rather than wrenching. But don't think that this is some kind of uncompromising bruiser - they built in all-day ride comfort with deliberately slimmed-down seat stays, specifically so that you can shred all day.   Cube Reaction TM Build Highlights Cube's HPA (High performance Aluminium) Lite, with internaly cable routed, Trail Motion Geometry, AMF, ARG Frameset Sram SX Eagle 12-Speed Groupset Magura MT Thirty Hydraulic Brakes with 180mm rotors Kenda EL Capo 2.6 X 27.5 Tyres X-Fusion RC32 130mm Front Suspension with 15X110mm Thru Axle Cube dropper Post., Inc Handlebar Lever, Internal routing 30.9mm
