2024 Cube Reaction C 62 Race test review opinions merits defects problems everything you need to know (really)

2024 Cube Reaction C 62 Race test review Build quality

The Cube Reaction C 62 Race 2024 is a well-made, rational mountain bike with an excellent quality-price ratio.

The range of assemblies is good, while the color range is limited and it is not possible to customize the bike.

However, everything is considered in the list price, which is very convenient, but the proposed geometry is not always suitable for the cyclist.

A mtb bike with a medium/high price, but which in terms of construction quality and value for money can be compared to higher range bikes.

2024 Cube Reaction C 62 Race test review Frame

The Cube Reaction Pro frame is a specific design for this range of mtb, very well made.

In this version the real weight is 10.3 kg, in size S, in line with the components and the type of frame.

However, a competitive weight for a list price of around 2300 Euros.

2024 Cube Reaction C 62 Race test review Assemblies

The range of assemblies is complete, always with an excellent quality/price ratio.

There is not a wide color range, but everything must be seen in relation to the list price.

In each proposed model the components chosen are valid, but extensive use is made of Cube components, which are nevertheless valid.

Overall, at this price, it's almost impossible to find better.

2024 Cube Reaction C 62 Race test review Comfort

This is an aspect where this frame convinces in a decisive way, excellent behavior for top ride comfort for the front mtb category, even without having particular technical solutions.

It's clearly not a full or a front with a semi-rigid rear frame, but otherwise there's really nothing to complain about.

An excellent behavior that makes this model valid for those who don't want an uncomfortable bike to pedal on.

2024 Cube Reaction C 62 Race test review Guide

The Cube Reaction C 62 Race 2024 is a very intuitive and easy to ride bike; predictable and always safe.

In the pedaled sections it is very easy to ride, light and responsive.

Uphill, it highlights a valid weight balance, excellent traction and always easy and intuitive control.

Especially when going uphill you can appreciate the low weight and excellent rigidity of the frame.

Downhill the fork works well, just stiff, but with good smoothness and performance in line with the price of the mountain bike.

Braking is very good.

Downhill the Cube Reaction C 62 Race 2024 continues to convince with effective, predictable, neutral behaviour.

Easy to get off quickly, still taking advantage of the good handling, even if it is a more stable bike than easy to handle.

In fact, stability at high speeds is excellent.

Ridden at a tourist pace, it is a pleasant mountain bike to ride and with which to spend an excellent day pedaling and having fun.

In general it is an intuitive and easy bike to ride, those who go fast can exploit this feature to have greater speed, those who are not so expert feel safer.

2024 Cube Reaction C 62 Race test review Performance

The Cube Reaction C 62 Race 2024 frame has proven to be a truly valid and competitive product.

A light, rigid and reactive frame, with excellent geometry that ensures high stability at high speeds and ease of riding.

At the same weight, but also against slightly lighter MTBs, this frame offers absolutely competitive performance.

However, the rigidity of the frame is excellent, and in absolute terms, it does not fear comparisons even with more expensive frames.

On the flat the performance is excellent in absolute terms.

Even uphill the performance is excellent and perhaps only downhill is the handling not at the absolute top.

On less technical and fast descents, however, it is the best.

It loses in narrow and guided paths.

All this obviously in comparison to bikes with a much higher cost, because at the same price the Cube Reaction C 62 Race 2024 has very few rivals.

An excellent result.

2024 Cube Reaction C 62 Race test review Pros and cons

The Cube Reaction C 62 Race 2024 has proven to be a very valid mtb bike with an excellent quality/price ratio.

Compared to many direct competitors, it has better build quality and often better performance: it's very difficult to find better.

In absolute terms it defends itself very well, a 360 degree mountain bike without a real weak point.

The defects? limited sales network and little choice of colors for the frame, but otherwise the Cube Reaction C 62 Race 2024 mtb is really very good and excellent for its price.
