Expirience with the CUBE REACTION C:62 RACE

Ludwig Döhl The REACTION C:62 RACE is one of the cheapest carbon hardtails out there. Most manufacturers still use aluminum frames in this price range. With 10,3 kg, the REACTION C:62 RACE counts towards the lighter bikes in this price range. The competitors are sometimes heavier. We have checked all geometry measures and come to the following conclusion: the Racebike of CUBE is a very balanced customer. On long tours, the comfortable seating position ensures a relaxed back. For friends of sending it on rowdy trails: the last argument is still the strongest, because the harmonious geometry and the grippy tires cause you to smile from top to bottom in the descent.
