FAQ's - Cube Reaction 2027

What type of riding is the Cube Reaction 2027 designed for?

 

The Cube Reaction 2027 is a versatile hardtail mountain bike range designed to cover everything from fast cross-country riding and training to everyday trail riding. The range combines the efficiency and responsiveness of a hardtail with different frame and component options, allowing riders to choose a model suited to their preferred type of riding.

What is the difference between the Cube Reaction C:62 and Reaction TM models?

 

The Reaction C:62 models are focused more towards fast and efficient cross-country riding, using Cube's lightweight C:62 carbon frame and Agile Ride Geometry. They are designed to be light, responsive and quick across XC terrain.

The Reaction TM models take a more trail-focused approach, using Cube's Trail Motion Geometry with a 65° head angle, short chainstays, greater tyre clearance and compatibility with a dropper post. They are designed for riders who want a hardtail that can handle more demanding and technical trails.

Which Cube Reaction model is best for cross-country riding?

 

For riders primarily interested in cross-country riding, training and covering distance efficiently, the Cube Reaction C:62 range is the most performance-focused option. The C:62 carbon frame is designed around low weight, efficiency and responsive handling, making these models particularly well suited to fast XC riding.

The range includes the C:62 ONE, C:62 Pro and C:62 Race, with higher-spec models receiving upgraded components for riders looking for increased performance.

Which Cube Reaction is best for tougher trail riding?

 

The Cube Reaction TM models are the most trail-focused options in the Reaction range. Their Trail Motion Geometry uses a 65° head angle, short chainstays and a low standover height to provide a more stable and confident feel on tougher trails.

The TM models also feature clearance for wider tyres, stealth dropper-post routing and an ISCG chain guide, making them well suited to riders looking to push a hardtail further on technical terrain.

Are the Cube Reaction 2027 bikes compatible with a dropper post?

 

Yes. Dropper-post compatibility is available across the Reaction range, making it possible to lower the saddle from the handlebar when descending or riding technical terrain. This can give the rider more room to move around the bike and greater confidence when tackling steeper sections of trail.

The Reaction TM models are particularly focused on this feature, with stealth internal routing provided for a dropper post.

What wheel sizes are available on the Cube Reaction 2027?

 

Wheel size depends on the specific Cube Reaction model and frame size. Cube uses its SizeSplit concept on applicable Reaction models, with smaller frame sizes using 27.5-inch wheels and larger sizes using 29-inch wheels. This is designed to provide an appropriate fit and handling balance across the size range.

Always check the individual model's size and geometry information before ordering, as the available wheel size can vary between Reaction models.

‘Cannot recommend MTB monster enough! Ordered my bike on the Sunday and it was with me by Wednesday afternoon. Reliable 2 person courier service used as well. Bike went through a full PDI as well as the team setting up the tubeless tires as well which saved me the hassle. Great service and will definitely use again in the future.’
