Battle of the Cube E-Bikes: Full Suspension Stereo vs Hardtail Reactio

Battle of the Cube E-Bikes: Full Suspension Stereo vs Hardtail Reaction

New for 2022: two top-of-the-line Cube eMTBs battling it out for a coveted spot as your adventure steed. Let's chat perks, upgrades, and what to consider before you make that age-old MTB decision between a full suspension and a hardtail.

The Similarities

Both bikes have the top of the line components in their lineup - what Cube dubs the "Pro" models - with 4th Gen Bosch CX motor, Purion display, Shimano Deore drivetrain, and 27.5" or 29" wheels depending on the frame size. Cube also offers a variety of add-on accessories (rack, lights, fenders, and kickstand) to make these eMTBs more versatile and commuter-capable, meaning you could have one bike handle all of your needs!

The Differences

Cube Stereo Hybrid 120 Pro 625 $5,499

Ring in the ride season with 120mm of comfortable, ground-hugging full suspension squish and an upgraded 625Wh battery for even more range. If you've caught the MTB bug and want to rally some sweet singletrack, this bike will be the perfect tool for the job.

Allroad Alternative: Cube Reaction Hybrid Performance 500 Allroad $3,699

Looking for something that's more commuter-focused with a side of trail-capable? This hardtail with 100mm suspension fork makes light work of rooty trails and potholes and is already equipped with mudguards, and integrated light set and kickstand. It also comes in a trapeze mid-step frame for easier accessibility and stop-and-go errand-running.

We love the captains chair!

The chair fits adults and kids alike - we had one that we were borrowing from a friend that we had to return and it only made sense to buy our own. My kiddo prefers this to the seat without a back.

Solidly built, but painful installation

These decks are built very well, but the installation is pretty time consuming / painful. For the screw on the front side, you'll need a 13mm socket with a long extension bar to reach the inside of the nut - not the 13mm open wrench listed in the manual. Another downside is that the slots on the deck have sharp edges - I wish they could round them off a little.

Beautiful bike

We had the bike shipped to us, and it arrived in perfect condition. The assembly was minimal and easy. It’s a beautiful bike. Smooth, easy, fun. Ride happy! 😎

Excellent purchase process and service

Purchased a new cargo e-bike and was very pleased with the process from start to finish. I needed to arrange pick-up or delivery and Brendan was super helpful sharing options and getting me all of the information I needed. Great deal, great and friendly service, what's not to like??
