Expirience with the CUBE REACTION C:62 ONE

Ludwig Döhl The REACTION C:62 ONE is one of the cheapest carbon hardtails out there. Most manufacturers still use aluminum frames in this price range. A low weight means more rideability on different terrain. If the manufacturer's indication is right, the 11,5 kg of the CUBE counts towards the lighter Racebike that you get for under under 2000 Euro. Thanks to a moderate 69 degree head tube angle, the handling is pleasantly balanced. If you are already a little older, your back will love the comfortabel seating position of the CUBE. On climbs, the Racebike von CUBE lets you sweat. Other bikes 1599 Euro climb better. A good argument for the CUBE Hardtail: Such a successful geometry is usually only available if you have deep pockets.
