CUBE Reaction Hybrid Performance 500 Review

Bosch is the major motor manufacturer in the EMTB world, alongside Shimano - and it's no surprise, as the Performance Line shows. At steep sections, the somewhat weak Bosch motor requires a lot of initiative from the rider. The Bosch Performance Line gives off a well-rounded riding feeling.

The average range can become a problem especially for long mountain bike rides.

On rough descents, the poor SR Suntour fork limits and demands a more precise line choice than bikes with a top-end fork. Especially heavy riders should be aware that the Shimano only decelerates poorly. Shifting and components still leave room for improvement. Other providers dig deeper into their pockets for these assemblies. The handling of the bike is pleasantly balanced due to the moderate geometry. This allows you to intuitively control the bike over the trails.
