![]() ![]() With five frame sizes available, Cube has taken a similar approach to Trek and designed the size small around 27.5in wheels, with the four larger bikes all benefiting from the improved roll over of the bigger 29in wheel. In that respect the frame shows its age, which makes it even more surprising to see that it has a flat mount standard for the rear brake, something that only recently arrived on mountain bikes. Its sleek silhouette accentuated by the slender 27.2mm diameter seatpost – a rare sight now, as are the traditional quick release rear dropouts with 135mm hub spacing. The frame has a clean, minimalist finish, without the visual bulk of some aluminium frames. The Reaction Pro is offered in two colours the stealthy black finish that we have on test and a sparkling Switchblue ’n’ Black.

Best hardtail mountain bikes As you’d expect, the geometry numbers differ between both bikes, but so does the seat tube diameter, rear brake mount, bottom bracket standard and sizing structure. And it’s not just the fork travel that sets them apart they have completely different alloy frames. The longer travel TM with a 130mm travel fork and this, the Pro, with a more XC-orientated 100mm Rock Shox Judy leading the charge.
