Its Bosch Performance Line CX motor and 800Wh battery are paired with a Fox air fork, Shimano XT components and a dropper post for a capable and versatile setup.Cube's Aluminium Superlite frame uses Gravity Casting Technology and Agile Ride Geometry. The Bosch PowerTube battery is fully integrated into the frame, while Advanced Internal Cable Routing keeps cables neatly tucked away. A 1.5in head tube and Boost 148 rear end provide modern interfaces for the fork and wheels.Mounting points for a kickstand, mudguards and carrier add useful versatility. This gives riders the option of adapting the Reaction Hybrid Race for everyday journeys or carrying luggage without taking away from its trail-focused specification.Bosch's Performance Line CX mid-drive motor provides up to 120Nm of torque according to the supplied specification. Its assistance works through the bike's drivetrain, providing additional support as gradients increase or the terrain becomes more demanding.The integrated Bosch PowerTube 800Wh battery provides substantial capacity for longer rides. The bike is also PowerMore-ready, allowing a compatible optional 250Wh range extender to be added when additional battery capacity is useful. Actual range will vary with terrain, assistance level, rider weight, weather and riding style.The supplied manufacturer information confirms that the bike uses Bosch's Smart System, but doesn't identify the specific display or remote fitted. I've therefore left those controls unspecified rather than assigning components that aren't confirmed by the supplied information.Shimano XT provides the main elements of the 1x12-speed drivetrain, with an RD-M8200-SGS Shadow Plus rear derailleur and Deore XT SL-M8210-IR Single Click shifter. A single 38T ACID MTB Hybrid Pro chainring keeps gear selection straightforward.The drivetrain is completed by a Shimano Deore CS-M6200 10-51T cassette and KMC e12 chain. Its broad cassette range provides a useful low gear for steeper climbs while retaining higher ratios for faster sections.A Fox 34 Float AWL air fork provides 120mm of travel and is specifically optimised for e-bike use. Its air spring can be adjusted to suit rider weight, while the 2-Position Sweep-Adjust RAIL damper provides control over the fork's behaviour. Smaller 27.5in versions use 100mm of travel.Shimano XT BR-M8120 hydraulic disc brakes use four-piston calipers and large 203mm rotors front and rear. The combination provides controlled, consistent braking for managing the additional weight and speed of an e-bike, particularly on steeper or more technical terrain.ACID SLX 30 wheels use 32 spokes front and rear, with a 15x110mm Boost front and 12x148mm Boost rear thru-axle setup. The rims are tubeless ready, giving riders the option of converting to a tubeless setup if preferred.Wide 2.6in Schwalbe Smart Sam tyres provide plenty of air volume for grip and comfort over uneven ground. Their versatile tread suits rides that combine firmer surfaces with loose tracks and trails.A handlebar-operated Cube dropper post allows the saddle to be lowered without stopping, creating more room to move around the bike on descents and steeper trail sections. Internal cable routing keeps its control cable neatly contained within the frame.Cube's Rise Trail Bar features the VariGrip System, allowing the effective bar width to be adjusted to suit rider preference. It's paired with a Cube Performance E-MTB stem, while an ACID Sequence 160 Pro Bubble Foam saddle adds comfort for longer rides.At a stated 24.4kg, the Reaction Hybrid Race 800 combines a large-capacity battery and powerful Bosch motor with components chosen to improve control away from smoother surfaces. The Fox air fork, XT 4-piston brakes and dropper post are meaningful upgrades for riders spending more time on trails.Overall, the Reaction Hybrid Race 800 balances hardtail simplicity with a trail-ready specification and substantial electric assistance. The 800Wh battery and PowerMore compatibility suit longer adventures, while wide gearing, 2.6in tyres and practical frame mounts give it the versatility to tackle a broad mix of riding.
