Kilmė
'Reaction' — trumpas, veiksmo kupinas angliškas žodis, atitinkantis kitus Cube MTB pavadinimus (Stereo, Stimulus, AMS). Race yra vidutinės komplektacijos priesaga, kurią Cube naudoja daugelyje dviračių šeimų jau daug metų. Reaction šeimoje komplektacijos lygiai yra Pro (pradinis) → Race (vidutinis, masinis) → SLT (aukščiausios klasės aliuminis) → C:62 (anglies pluošto šeima). ~2007 m. Kitas žingsnis aukštyn nuo CMPT rėmo Acid — labiau patobulintas hidroformuotas aliuminis kietauodegis, skirtas motociklininkams, norintiems tikro XC/trail pajėgaus dviračio, o ne tik takų dviračio. vidutinis apibendrintas

Verdiktas
+Stiprybės
- Full SRAM GX Eagle 1×12 (10-50T) plus a RockShox Judy Silver TK Air 100 mm — a real air fork and top-tier-adjacent drivetrain on a ~£1099 alloy hardtail, strong value for the trim
- Aluminium Lite frame with AMF, tapered head tube, internal routing and PressFit BB — refined, quiet ride with excellent cable management (MBR)
- Hydroformed aluminium frame is clearly a step up from CMPT-frame Acid/Aim — better silhouette, lighter, more refined welds
- Boost, internal routing, dropper-ready — modern standards on a mid-tier bike, headroom for upgrades
- Cube dealer network in Baltic states (Hawaii Express EE, Sportland EE among others) — warranty and spare parts accessible
- Trim ladder Pro/Race/SLT on shared frame — upgrade path without buying new frame
−Trūkumai
- Frame geometry is borrowed/compromised for XC: long 447 mm chainstays paired with short 440 mm reach put the rider too far forward — MBR found the position awkward on longer rides and wanted a dedicated XC frame
- RockShox Judy Silver TK Air is a basic entry XC fork — competent but flexy and limited in damping for anything beyond smooth XC/light trail
- Stock rigid seatpost despite dropper-ready frame — €100-180 add-on cost to unlock trail capability
- Continental Cross King / Schwalbe Smart Sam 2.25" stock tyres are XC-fast but not trail-grippy — upgrade if riding rooty/rocky
- Reaction line is huge — easy to confuse Race / Pro / SLX / SL / SLT / C:62 / Hybrid year by year. Used buyers often misread spec.
- The acoustic 'Race' alloy trim was DISCONTINUED after ~2020 — current Cube acoustic Reaction hardtails are Pro/SLX/SLT/TM (alloy) and C:62 (carbon). A new 'Reaction Race' acoustic bike cannot be bought today; only used examples exist, which complicates spare-spec matching.

Pirkėjo pastabos
№ 01
Reaction Race vs Acid: Reaction Race is a real step up — different frame (hydroformed, not CMPT), Shimano Deore M6100 1x12 instead of SRAM NX Eagle / lower Shimano, better fork. Worth the €200-400 jump if you ride any trail beyond gravel paths.
№ 02
Reaction Race vs Reaction Pro: same frame, different parts. Pro saves money on fork (Suntour XCM/XCR vs Rockshox Recon) and drivetrain (Acera/Altus vs Deore M6100). If you want to upgrade gradually, Pro + later Deore upgrade gets you to Race spec for similar total cost.
№ 03
Reaction Race vs Reaction SLT: SLT is the top alloy trim — SLX or XT drivetrain, better fork (Reba / SID Select), sometimes a stock dropper. €300-500 premium over Race. If budget allows and you ride often, SLT is the better long-term keeper.
№ 04
Stock rigid 31.6mm seatpost — frame is dropper-ready, add a Brand-X / PNW / OneUp dropper for €100-180. Biggest single trail-feel upgrade you can make on this bike.
№ 05
Stock tyres (Schwalbe Smart Sam / Continental Cross King 2.25") are XC-fast. For Baltic forest trails swap to Maxxis Ardent 2.4" / Schwalbe Magic Mary 2.35" for real grip — €60-100 well spent.
№ 06
Used 26" Reaction Race (2010-2013) at €250-400 is fine as a path/commuter bike but is not a trail bike by 2026 standards. For real trail use, target 2022+ or wait for 2-year-old Boost models.
№ 07
Don't confuse Reaction (analogue) with Reaction Hybrid (e-MTB). Used listings sometimes mix them up — Hybrid has a Bosch motor and weighs 22-25 kg, Reaction Race is 13-14 kg analogue.
№ 08
Cube serial number is stamped under the bottom bracket (same as Acid). Format WOW + digits + MMYY + M (hardtail). Register on bikeindex.org — Reaction Race is a known theft target due to brand recognition.
№ 09
Baltic dealers: Hawaii Express (EE) and Sportland (EE) stock Cube in volume. For Latvia/Lithuania, check regional Cube dealers via cube.eu dealer locator. Buying via dealer gets you warranty + first-year service + frame-fit consultation.

SizeSplit: 27.5" wheels on XS/S frames, 29" on M and above. At rider height 168-175 cm you are on the boundary — if you ride more singletrack and value manoeuvrability, take S 27.5; if you ride more distance/gravel, take M 29.
