Features
With the latest Generation 3 Bosch Performance System and a 625Wh battery, the Cube Reaction Hybrid Performance 625 2023 is ready to take you further than you imagined and for 2023, now offers additional support from its recent upgrade to 75Nm, only 10Nm less than their most powerful motor!
Suntour's NVX30 100mm coil front fork helps to soften up rough terrain and maintain firm tyre contact with the ground, keeping the steering precise and predictable.
With a quick release front axle, getting this bike in an out of the car or repairing a puncture is a much quicker and easier job!
Brakes & Gears
For 2023, the Reaction Hybrid Performance again gets Shimano's MT200 hydraulic disc brakes, giving great lever feel, modulation and stopping power. These are paired with 180mm rotors front and rear for consistent braking performance.
The MT200 brake system is effortlessly simple and aside from changing the brake pads from time to time (very easy to do at home too!) these are an incredibly low maintenance system.
The 2023 Cube Reaction Hybrid Performance 625 eBike is equipped with the new Shimano M3100 9-speed group set.
The 9-speed, 11-36t cassette offers a wide range ratio selection for both up and down hill to suit even the most adventurous of riders.
Although an entry level group set, it lends itself superbly to the Cube Reaction Performance and performs exceptionally well.
Shimano BR MT-200 hydraulic brakes offer strong breaking force with minimal grip strength
9 Speed Alivio gearing provides a wide ratio choice for every type of terrain
Shimano SL-M3100 Rapidfire shifters make light work of flicking through the 9 speed rear cassette
Wheels & Tyres
New for 2023, Cube have used Rodi Blackrock 23 tubeless ready wheels on the Reaction Hybrid Performance with Shimano boost hubs and a 29" rim. These new Rodi rims offer an excellent tire profile to enable a wider tyre choice.
The full Cube Reaction line-up always makes use of Schwalbe's Smart Sam Active tyres. These tyres have a continual band of central tread for excellent rolling speed on tarmac and hard pack surfaces, so they wont slow you down like a traditional mountain bike tyre.
The outer shoulders of the tyre have wider spacing with a more aggressive tread pattern to optimise off road grip during cornering, making them a solid all round tyre for a huge range of terrain.
The bottom line..
The 2023 Cube Reaction Hybrid Performance 625 will be popular for any rider looking for an entry level XC and trail bike, with ultra keen pricing and a very well thought out specification list.
The 625Wh battery capacity offers excellent range whilst the newly updated Bosch Performance Line motor is a welcome boost for those looking for help back to the top of those long, flowing downhill sections!
Cube have designed the Reaction Hybrid Performance as a fantastic value, budget conscious entry for new riders to the electric mountain bike market for 2023. Often only found on much higher specification bikes, it comes with totally internal routing for all cables, including the option to add cables for a stealth dropper post.
Power
The new 2023 Cube Reaction Performance 625 eBike features the Bosch Performance Line G3 crank drive motor, 625Wh PowerTube frame integrated battery and Purion display system.
The 250w Performance system outputs 75Nm of torque and peaks at over 625w! It certainly packs a punch, offering up to 300% assistance in turbo mode. Featuring 4 levels of assistance (and remember you can always turn the power off and ride it as a normal bike) ranging from 40 to 300% assistance.
The Reaction Performance 625 features the latest 'PowerTube' Bosch 625Wh battery technology for 2022. Completely integrated into the frame, it's neatly designed it so it can be charged both on and off the bike.
For 2023 Cube have equipped their new LED Remote, offering a quick and easy reference for selected power mode and battery status. More bike and rider parameters are available via the new Bosch eBike Flow app.
The Bosch Generation 3 Performance Line motor is one of the most widely used Bosch motors in production and balances power and speed with exceptional value and reliability.
The Bosch PowerTube 625Wh battery neatly fits inside the frame. Offering up to 140 miles on a single charge, its one of the largest batteries available in our model line.

Reviews
"FIRST CLASS SERVICE"
E-bikeshop supplied 2x Cube Reaction e-bikes to me in Portugal. The service provided was excellent, the bikes arrived as expected despite the COVID issues. The e-bikeshop assembled and tested the bikes before repacking for onward shipping. This gave me confidence that the bikes were in perfect condition upon delivery. 100% first class service
