CUBE REACTION HYBRID PERFORMANCE 625 Review

Bosch is the major motor manufacturer in the EMTB world, alongside Shimano - and it's no surprise, as the Performance Line CX Smart System shows. The very natural motor control and the dynamic power output characterise the character of the Bosch motor. This great combination mixed with lots of power, is something only a few other motors at Bosch's level can achieve. Whoever enjoys longer tours will be pleased with the good range.

The suspension fork is unfortunately not very high quality. On rough terrain, many riders may lack the control of the suspension at the front. At the brakes, CUBE reaches for the bottom of the Shimano shelf and instals poor brakes with two pistons and small 18 brake rotors. 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. The handling of the bike is pleasantly balanced due to the moderate geometry. This allows you to intuitively control the bike over the trails.
