Cube reaction hybrid pro 625 review12/18/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() CUBE does sell some products with the Active Line Plus, but it’s not as powerful as the Performance Line used here. their 4 amp, but you could always use the faster charger if you already own one for another bike.īosch offers three Performance Line motors at the time of this review and they all produce a bit of electronic whirring noise, use energy faster, and produce some reduction-gearing drag compared to the Active Line motors (and many competing products). The bike comes with a slower, but lighter and smaller, Bosch 2 amp battery charger vs. It weighs more, isn’t as adjustable, and probably doesn’t slide as easily as a nicer fork… but at least it has the 15mm thru axle and supports wider Boost hub spacing for a sturdy wider spoke bracing angle. This is a spring for without anodized stanchions. The fork is one area where compromises were made to keep the cost down. Silver highlights on the spokes, disc brake rotors, and suspension fork stanchions look nice here. Most of the components and hardware is black, including the fork lowers, rims, seat post, stem, and handlebar. I was told that the seat tube is pre-routed for a seat post dropper if you want to add that aftermarket. I love how clean the frame looks! Internally routed cables stay out of the way and large grommets allow for easier service. Notice the bottle cage bosses on the seat tube and the rack bosses on the seat stays. This ebike is minimalist in some ways, but full of potential for upgrades and crossover use. CUBE chose Schwalbe Smart Sam tires with puncture resistant layers to minimize flats, and they’ve designed a dual-layer skid plate to protect the motor casing from rock and log strikes. I appreciate the higher air volume of 29ers for increased comfort, the lower attack angle for spanning cracks and smoothing out bumps and rocks, and the increased rolling momentum… but these are already 2.6″ plus sized tires, so you’re getting traction and air volume benefits even with the 27.5″ wheel. I think the idea here is larger wheels are beneficial to people who can mount and stand over taller frames, but may be an obstacle for petite riders. One thing that really stands out about the Reaction Hybrid Pro 500 is that depending on the frame size you get, the wheel size will be 27.5″ or 29″. CUBE works exclusively with Bosch, at the time of this review, and builds each model in a wide range of sizes, for improved fit. I consider them one of the higher quality brands but noticed that they tend to price a bit lower than competitors like Haibike and Bulls.
