The Cube Reaction Pro 2027 bike featured here at Escapa is a hardtail MTB designed to combine speed, reliability, and versatility. Its lightweight aluminum frame, 12-speed Shimano XT drivetrain, and RockShox Recon Silver RL air fork create a well-balanced package for cross-country riding, training, trails, and everyday commuting.
Its stable handling instills confidence on uneven terrain, while accessory mounting points allow you to customize the bike for more practical use. A sporty and versatile hardtail, ready for both enjoying the mountains and tackling everyday life.
Aluminum Lite Frame
The frame is made of double-butted aluminum using Cube’s Advanced Mechanical Forming process. This construction allows the shape and thickness of each tube to be adjusted to provide a balanced combination of lightness, stiffness, and durability.
Its sleek lines and carefully finished unions provide a clean, modern look. Internal cable routing keeps the cables protected and reduces visual clutter around the frame. The headset area features internal protection to prevent damage caused by cable movement.
Sporty and Stable Geometry
The Reaction Pro’s geometry is designed to offer precise, easy-to-control handling. Its riding position allows for efficient pedaling on trails and climbs, while maintaining stable responsiveness on descents and fast trails.
Cube adapts the wheel diameter to each size:
- Sizes XS and S feature 27.5-inch wheels.
- Sizes M, L, and XL with 29-inch wheels.
This configuration provides greater agility for shorter riders and better obstacle-clearing ability for taller riders.
RockShox Recon Silver RL Fork
The RockShox Recon Silver RL Air fork offers 100 mm of travel and allows you to adjust the air pressure based on your weight and riding preferences.
The PopLoc remote control makes it easy to lock the fork from the handlebars, allowing you to stiffen the suspension on climbs, pavement, or compact trails. When unlocked, the fork improves traction and absorbs roots, rocks, and other terrain irregularities.
Shimano XT 1x12 Drivetrain
The 12-speed single-chainring drivetrain combines a Shimano XT RD-M8200-SGS Shadow Plus rear derailleur with a Shimano Deore 10-51T cassette. This setup offers a wide gear range to tackle steep climbs and maintain an efficient cadence on fast trails.
The Shadow Plus system stabilizes the chain on uneven terrain, reducing impacts against the chainstay and minimizing the risk of the chain coming off. The 32-tooth chainring provides a versatile gear ratio for Cross Country and light Trail riding.
Shimano Hydraulic Brakes
The Shimano BR-MT410 hydraulic brakes offer powerful, progressive, and easy-to-control braking. The 180 mm front rotor provides additional braking power, while the 160 mm rear rotor helps maintain balanced responsiveness. Their reliable performance in various conditions ensures safety on descents, through turns, and on low-traction surfaces.
Ready for a dropper post
The seat tube has a diameter of 30.9 mm and is designed to accommodate a remote-controlled dropper post. This feature allows you to quickly lower the saddle before tackling descents and technical sections, increasing freedom of movement and control over the bike.
UDH and Boost Axle Compatibility
The rear features a Boost thru-axle and UDH derailleur hanger, a modern standard that improves the availability of replacement parts and facilitates compatibility with current drivetrains. A large chainstay guard helps prevent damage and reduces noise caused by the chain hitting the chainstay on rough terrain.
An MTB Ready for Everyday Use
The Reaction Pro features mounting points compatible with:
- Cube SIC 2.1 semi-integrated rack.
- Acid fenders.
- Flat Mount kickstand.
- Tools and accessories under the top tube.
These options allow you to turn it into a versatile MTB for commuting, bike touring, or everyday use without losing its sporty character.
