Cube Reaction Hybrid Pro 500 2020 Electric Mountain Bike

About the Cube Reaction Hybrid Pro 500

CUBE have years of experience building Bosch-powered mountain bike hybrids – and you can see all of that knowledge put to good use in the brand-new Reaction Hybrid frame. Designed around the needs of Bosch’s superb fourth-generation drive system, CUBE built a frame that’s sleeker, better handling and easier to live with than ever – and, with their Size Split system and a trapeze frame option on some models, they’ve the perfect size and fit for every rider. Housing the Bosch battery securely in its gravity cast down tube, the CUBE engineers also routed all cables internally to keep them out of harm’s way and keep gear shifts clean and precise with minimal maintenance. The 1.5in head tube and Agile Ride Geometry delivers impeccably precise steering, there’s an integrated kickstand mount and they even ensured that there’s routing for a stealth dropper post upgrade, so your Reaction Hybrid will stay with you as your riding skills develop. It’s everything that you need, and nothing that you don’t.

The CUBE designers always start with a clear goal in mind. In the case of the Reaction Hybrid Pro, it was a simple one: build a Bosch e-bike that will help its rider get more out of the trails they ride. To that end, they went back to the drawing board for 2020 and came up with a brand-new frame design that’s sleeker, stiffer and more versatile than ever, incorporating Bosch’s fourth-generation CX motor. Integrated cable routing complements the clean lines and reduces maintenance, whilst compatibility with CUBE accessories and a remote dropper post makes upgrading and accessorising a cinch. The seamlessly integrated Bosch drive unit and battery, controlled via a Purion handlebar-mounted interface, quietly and efficiently gets on with the job of boosting your pedal power for easier climbs, faster routes and expanded horizons. You can even charge the battery without removing it from the frame. Sram’s superb SX Eagle 12-speed transmission provides an awesome gear range, while Shimano’s smooth, powerful MT200 hydraulic disc brakes ensure you can control your speed whatever the weather or trail conditions. Extra-wide, grippy Schwalbe Smart Sam tyres offer ample grip and cushioning and CUBE’s Natural Fit Sequence saddle ensures you’ll stay comfortable on even the longest rides. Which means that there’s nothing stopping you from getting more out of your riding…

About the Brand
The Cube story starts in Germany back in 1993. To help fund his studies at University, bike-mad Marcus Pürner started importing frames from the Far East and assembled bikes in the corner of his parents’ furniture factory – Cube Bikes was born.

Originally an MTB brand, Cube now exports a range of bikes to 34 countries across the world, including Cube hybrid bikes, while still staying true to its MTB heritage.
