Description
This bike is fitted with the latest generation Bosch Performance CX (Gen5) engine and Bosch PowerTube battery.
What every rider wants from their bike is reliable fun – and that's how we approached the Reaction Hybrid Pro 600. We fitted an easily adjustable air suspension fork with 120mm of travel (100mm for small frame sizes and for all Easy Entry models), because it adds comfort and control. We swapped the standard seatpost for a remote dropper post, because you'd be amazed how much more confidence that buys on bumpier trails. Shimano's XT 1x12 gears offer a huge range and unrivalled reliability, while Schwalbe's grippy 2.6in tyres and strong, progressive Shimano hydraulic disc brakes ensure you can stop on a dime. And, with a 600 Wh battery and the smooth, quiet assistance of Bosch's CX drive, you've got all the assistance you need to tackle even the most challenging of routes. Over to you.
Frame description
We call this frame Easy Entry because that's exactly what it does, but there's more to the Reaction Hybrid than just an elegantly practical design. With the 600 Wh PowerTube battery neatly concealed and the Bosch CX drive housed securely, its svelte lines disguise lots of clever features. It's PowerMore-ready, making it easy to add up to 250 Wh of extra battery capacity. The integrated seat clamp and cable routing complement the clean aesthetic, whilst a UDH gear hanger makes it as future-proof as possible. There's a built-in chainguide mount too, and it's also ready to accept ACID mudguards. And there are sizes to cater for most riders. We've thought of everything, so you can just ride.
- 85 Nm torque, 600 W max power, up to 340% assistance
- Up to 600 g lighter system weight (motor and battery) than the previous version
- Higher energy-density PowerTube batteries: 600 or 800 Wh
- Quieter while coasting and pedaling
- New Hill Hold system and Extended Boost for technical climbs
