This performance hardtail exudes racing flair from every frame tube and each component - hence the "Race" tag. And yes, it's as fast as it looks. The Reaction GTC Race has everything that an aspiring racer could possibly need. The superb carbon frame, 2x11 transmission and RockShox Reba suspension fork in understated Fast Black all point in one direction: to the race course.

Frame: Our engineers have given the Reaction GTC Race frame the perfect blend of low weight and high stiffness by using CUBE's complex GTC twin mould construction technique. Performance-enhancing highlights include the tapered head tube, PressFit bottom bracket shell, internal cable routing, X12 quick release axle and the Direct Mount derailleur hanger. The 27.2mm seatpost provides additional comfort on longer rides. But the real secret to this nimble, balanced and inspiring bike - whether you opt for the 27.5 or 29 inch version - is our Agile Ride Geometry.

Features: Got your eye on the podium? A Shimano XT setup, including compact 26/36 chainset and powerful but sensitive hydraulic brakes, makes the Reaction GTC Race the perfect racing choice, whether you're taking on a short course XC race or an epic transalpine event. RockShox's Reba SL air suspension fork with remote lockout offers stacks of comfort and control, whilst a robust and lightweight Answer Attack AM wheelset with high quality Schwalbe tyres transmits your power with perfect efficiency to the trail. The CUBE aluminium finishing components, combined with I-Spec, provide a clean and simple rider cockpit for maximum control and minimum distraction.
