The Cube Reaction Hybrid Pro 800 is a hardtail electric mountain bike built for riders who want one bike that can handle trails, commutes and everyday off-road riding with ease. With a Bosch CX drive unit, an 800Wh battery, Shimano XT 12-speed gears and powerful four-piston brakes, it is a strong choice for riders who want long-range Bosch-powered support without moving into a heavier full-suspension e-MTB.
Why choose this product
- 800Wh battery supports longer rides, bigger climbs and fewer charging interruptions.
- Bosch CX drive gives smooth, powerful assistance for hills, mixed terrain and everyday use.
- Hardtail layout keeps the bike simpler, lighter-feeling and easier to maintain than a full-suspension e-MTB.
- Shimano XT 12-speed gears deliver a reliable, easy-to-use range for varied terrain.
- Four-piston hydraulic disc brakes improve control on descents and in poor conditions.
- PowerMore-ready design leaves room for even more range later if needed.
- Ready for mudguards, luggage carrier and lights, so it can do more than just trail duty.
Who it’s for
This bike is for riders who want a versatile Bosch electric mountain bike with hardtail simplicity and enough battery capacity for real distance. It suits trail riders, leisure riders, commuters and anyone who wants one e-bike that can cover bridleways, towpaths, urban riding and light off-road use.
It is especially relevant if you want a more efficient and easier-to-live-with e-MTB than a full-suspension bike. It is less suited to riders who spend most of their time on rough, technical descents where rear suspension becomes the bigger advantage.
Real-world performance
Long-range Bosch support
The main headline feature here is the 800Wh battery paired with Bosch CX drive. In real use, that means more confidence on longer rides, stronger support on repeated climbs and less range anxiety for riders using the bike across different types of terrain.
Hardtail efficiency with e-MTB confidence
A hardtail e-MTB like the Reaction Hybrid Pro gives a more direct ride feel than a full-suspension bike. That makes it a strong option for riders who split their time between tracks, roads, smoother trails and everyday journeys rather than focusing only on rough descent performance.
Trail-ready braking and grip
Shimano four-piston brakes and Schwalbe 2.6in tyres give the bike a more capable feel than a basic leisure e-bike. That matters when terrain gets loose, weather gets worse or speed rises on the way back down.
Practical design beyond the trail
The integrated battery, concealed cable routing, PowerMore readiness and mounting points for mudguards and a carrier make this a practical e-bike as well as a fun one. It is designed to work for more than one type of ride.
Compatibility and sizing guidance
Size split matters on this model. Smaller sizes use 27.5in wheels, while medium and above use 29in. Small frame sizes and all Easy Entry models use 100mm travel, while the standard setup is listed with 120mm travel.
Choosing the right Cube Reaction Hybrid Pro 800 setup| Option | Best for | What to expect | When to choose it |
|---|
| Reaction Hybrid Pro 800 | Riders wanting a versatile Bosch hardtail e-MTB | Long range, simple hardtail maintenance and broad mixed-use capability | When you want trails, commuting and adventure from one bike |
| Hardtail e-MTB | Efficiency, lighter feel and easier servicing | More direct ride feel than full suspension | When rough descents are not your main priority |
| Full-suspension e-MTB | Rougher trails and more technical descending | More comfort and control off-road, usually with more weight and complexity | When trail performance matters more than hardtail efficiency |
| PowerMore-ready setup | Riders planning even longer rides later | Potential to add extra battery capacity | When future range extension matters to you |
Comparison
Reaction Hybrid Pro 800 vs full-suspension e-MTB
The Reaction Hybrid Pro 800 is the better choice when you want hardtail efficiency, simpler maintenance and a bike that feels at home both on and off road. A full-suspension e-MTB is the stronger choice for rougher, more technical trail riding.
Reaction Hybrid Pro 800 vs lower-capacity e-bikes
The biggest difference is battery capacity. An 800Wh setup gives more range confidence for longer rides and bigger elevation, which is a real advantage for riders who use their e-bike for more than short local loops.
Hardtail e-MTB vs hybrid e-bike
A hybrid e-bike is often more road-focused. The Reaction Hybrid Pro 800 gives a more capable off-road chassis, grippier tyres and stronger trail-ready component choices while still staying practical enough for everyday riding.
Is it right for you?
Buy this bike if you want a Bosch-powered electric mountain bike that can cover trails, commuting and leisure riding with strong battery capacity and hardtail simplicity.
Do not buy it if you mainly ride technical descents where rear suspension is essential, or if you want a more road-biased hybrid e-bike feel.
Expert insight
For many riders, this is the sweet spot in the e-MTB market. You get the long-range appeal of a big battery, the strength of Bosch CX support and the lower-maintenance practicality of a hardtail. That combination is exactly why bikes like this work so well as do-it-all electric mountain bikes.
