Reaction Hybrid Pro
Origin
The Reaction Hybrid Pro is Cube's best-selling hardtail e-MTB and one of the company's most important volume models, built in Waldershof, Bavaria by Pending System One GmbH. The Reaction platform itself dates back to the early 2000s as Cube's flagship aluminium XC hardtail; the Hybrid (electric) version was added in 2014 and has been continuously refined since. The current MY2025-2026 generation uses Cube's Advanced Hydroform alloy frame with full internal cable routing, fitted with Bosch's 5th-generation Performance Line CX Smart System motor (85 Nm, 600 W peak, 340% assistance) and integrated PowerTube 625 or 800 Wh batteries. With a 100 mm SR Suntour or RockShox Recon air fork, 29'' wheels (27.5'' on XS), Shimano hydraulic brakes and Cube's stable trail geometry, it is positioned as the affordable gateway into branded e-MTB ownership and dominates German/Austrian retail charts.

The verdict
- Exceptional real-world range thanks to large Bosch PowerTube battery (625 Wh ~130 km tested; 800 Wh option for 100+ km mixed terrain)
- Smooth, natural and quiet power delivery from the 85 Nm Bosch Performance Line CX (Gen 5, 100 Nm-upgradeable via Flow app)
- Excellent value — branded Bosch drivetrain and quality kit at an accessible price point
- Sporty XC/trail geometry with efficient pedalling, plus a fitted dropper post on MY2025 builds
- Six frame sizes and standard/Easy Entry (low-step) frame options broaden fit and accessibility
- Entry-level Shimano BR-MT200 2-piston brakes with 180 mm rotors are undersized for aggressive or heavy descending on a 25 kg e-MTB
- Hardtail with only 100-120 mm front travel and no rear suspension — limited for technical or gnarly trails
- Heavy at ~25 kg (Pro 800), making it cumbersome to manhandle, carry or ride unassisted
- Trail-leaning but not a true descender; fork and tyre spec hold it back from rougher terrain
- Some older builds shipped with a basic 11-speed Deore drivetrain rather than 12-speed
