Cube Reaction C:62 Race 2023 Bike

Crafted from our proprietary C:62® carbon using our Advanced Twin Mold manufacturing process, the Reaction C:62 leaves nothing on the table in pursuit of low weight, exceptional speed and precise handling. There's a short rear end with Boost thru axle, a tapered head tube and Agile Ride Geometry. Taken together it all adds up to a lively, responsive ride feel. Slim seatstays and a narrow 27.2mm seatpost help keep you comfortable for longer, even when you're giving it your all. And internal cable routing reduces maintenance, so you can spend more time riding and less time wrenching.

Highlights

Agile Ride Geometry

For off-road riding you need a bike that responds quickly, but also feels stable and secure. That's where Agile Ride Geometry comes in. Offering an ideal blend of on-demand steering precision, climbing agility and descending stability, it's perfect for every rider who values their time on the trail. If you're a mountain biker, you'll instantly feel at home...

C:62® Carbon Fiber Technology

Not all carbon is created equal. With our C:62® carbon we increased the high modulus fibre content, then we reinforced the resulting material with nanoparticles incorporated into the bonding resin. Which is all just a fancy way of saying it's extremely strong, light and durable.

Boost 148mm

A wider hub makes a stiffer wheel, and a stiffer wheel means better handling. That's the thinking behind the Boost 148 rear hub standard, which allows wider flange spacing for better wheel performance without impacting on shifting accuracy or drivetrain efficiency. Simply put, you can go faster and harder with better handling and stronger wheels.

Dropper Post Ready

A dropper post is a great accessory for adventurous riding, adding confidence and control on steep descents. Our Dropper Post Ready bikes are all set for this worthwhile upgrade, because they include internal cable routing for the remote lever that controls the seatpost. Once installed, you'll forget it's there... until you need it.

Internal Cabling Routing

Cables connect your handlebar controls to vital components like gears and brakes, but there's no need for them to get in your way. With Internal Cable Routing we've reduced clutter and maintenance by running cables through the frame, keeping them out of the way of dust and water contamination – or damage from abrasion – as well as cleaning up your bike's appearance.

Advanced Twin Mold

With our Advanced Twin Mold process we use two precisely manufactured forms for our C:62®, C:68® and C:68X® carbon frames. The first form is to ensure an accurate layup. The second, inner form keeps every individual fibre precisely where it needs to be while the frame cures. The result is a significantly lighter, stronger frame, with fibre density tailored to anticipated loadings at specific points.
