Archive: Review: Cube Reaction Hybrid HPA SLT 500

19 April 2017 by enrico

Test: Luminous green, beautifully integrated drive and colour-coordinated components: no question, the Reaction Hybrid from Cube is a real eye-catcher! But behind the extremely successful optics there is also first-class technology: the performance CX motor knows how to convince in every respect, and the suspension fork
by Fox also cuts a fine figure on the trail. Unfortunately, the seat post cannot be fully lowered, which
Off-road fun a little clouded. Gears and brakes come from Shimano's XT series and confirm their excellent reputation. Bosch's new Purion control unit requires little space on the handlebars. The information is sparse but easy to read. The grips could be improved: When wet, they quickly become slippery and twist too easily.
