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 weight for the complete bike, the CUBE Hardtail joins the lighter bikes that you can buy for under under 3000 Euro. Most bikes in its class are heavier. We have checked all geometry measures and come to the following conclusion: the CUBE REACTION C:62 RACE is a very balanced customer. The upright seating position gives the CUBE REACTION C:62 RACE a comfortable character. All in all, in the on sporty excursions category, you will hardly find a better overall package from parts and geometry.
