CUBE REACTION HYBRID RACE 625 Review

If you want to buy an e-bike, you can hardly avoid the brand name Cube. The Bavarians are among the largest bike manufacturers in Europe and have a huge mountain bike model range. The REACTION HYBRID RACE 625 is one of the entry-level models into Cube's E-MTB world.
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 progressive power output characterise the character of the Bosch motor. Achieving such a perfect balance between natural support and power is something few other engines can do. Thanks to the good range, longer tours with the REACTION HYBRID RACE 625 are no problem.

At a glance

The most importanten ratings of the REACTION HYBRID RACE 625 in comparison to the competitor bikes of following categorie: (4000) .

The good Rock Shox fork dampens small and medium bumps confidently when mountain biking. The mid-range brakes from Shimano do their job but could be a bit firmer. The power of the four pistons setup is only average. The average shifting components and accessories leave some tuning potential open. For most e-bikers, this should be an acceptable point. The handling of the bike is pleasantly balanced due to the moderate geometry. This allows you to intuitively control the bike over the trails.

Conclusion


Expirience with the CUBE REACTION HYBRID RACE 625

Overall, the REACTION HYBRID RACE 625 is, due to a top-notch motor, a good fork and a good geometry is a good all-rounder for trips on gravel roads and simple forest paths. Only a middle ground brake system and a mediocre groupset slightly tarnish the otherwise successful overall picture. Warning when choosing size: The REACTION HYBRID RACE 625 sizing runs small.
