CUBE Reaction Hybrid Performance 625 Review

The Reaction Hybrid Performance 625 features a slightly simpler frame compared to the Reaction models without the "Performance" designation. Thus, the rear wheel is secured with a quick release rather than a thru-axle. Additionally, the frame is outfitted with a fork offering just 1 mm of 1 mm.
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.

At a glance

The most importanten ratings of the CUBE Reaction Hybrid Performance 625 in comparison to the competitor bikes of following categorie: (3000) .

The bad SR Suntour fork suspension transmits bumps relatively clearly to the rider. In descending situations, the Shimano brakes require a lot of hand strength or, optionally, courage from the rider. With two pistons and small 18 brake rotors, they only brake poorly. The components and the shifting seem less important for CUBE. The components used here have a clear potential for improvement after a view at the competitors. When it comes to the geometry, CUBE does not go completely crazy. The head tube angle and reach values were chosen with care. The result: A balanced riding behaviour with a good combination of playfulness and straight-line stability.

Even though the E-Mountainbike reveals a weak flank with a poor fork and a $brake system_schlecht brake system, it remains thanks to a very good geometry and a good range:Genetiv a widely applicable vehicle.
