The Bavarian manufacturer Cube is one of the largest bicycle manufacturers in Europe. With the REACTION HYBRID PRO 625, they deliver a simple hardtail without technical overkill.
Bosch is the major motor manufacturer in the EMTB world, alongside Shimano - and it's no surprise, as the Performance Line CX shows. No matter how steep or technical the climb is: the Bosch motor makes it conquerable! At the same time, the drive provides a very natural feeling while riding with a dynamic power delivery. The well-tuned riding modes cater to bikers of all preferences. Thanks to the good range, longer tours with the REACTION HYBRID PRO 625 are no problem.

At a glance

The most importanten ratings of the CUBE REACTION HYBRID PRO 625 in comparison to the competitor bikes of following categorie: (3000) .

The good X-Fusion fork dampens small and medium bumps confidently when mountain biking. In descending situations, the Shimano brakes require a lot of hand strength or, optionally, courage from the biker. With two pistons and small 18 brake rotors, they only brake poorly. Taking a holistic approach also includes looking at the gearing and components. The components are of good qualtiy and offer no reason for criticism here. The moderate head tube angle provides a good compromise between stability and agility when going downhill. The reach is also right there in the middle ground.

Conclusion


Expirience with the CUBE REACTION HYBRID PRO 625

For tours, the REACTION HYBRID PRO 625 with a good motor, a good fork and a good groupset is well equipped. Only with a poor brake system you have to look away. Check the geometry table carefully before buying: The REACTION HYBRID PRO 625 sizing runs small.
