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. With a redesigned frame for 2018 and a full selection of race-ready equipment, it's got everything that an aspiring racer could possibly need. A Fox 32 Rhythm fork with remote lockout, Shimano XT 2x11 transmission and brakes and Answer Atac AM wheelset shod with Schwalbe tyres leave no room for doubt: this is a bike that will allow you to perform at your very best. Are you ready to ride flat out? Because the Reaction C:62 Race most definitely is...

Our engineers never rest on their laurels. That's why they went right back to the drawing board for 2018's Reaction C:62 Race, taking everything they've learnt about high performance carbon frame construction and making it even better. Premium C:62 carbon results in an ever lighter frame, but we didn't stop there. A shorter rear end with Boost through axle and revised Agile Ride Geometry (ARG) means it handles better than ever, and an integrated headset and PressFit bottom bracket help save even more grams.

Slim seatstays and a 27.2mm seatpost help ensure you'll stay comfortable for longer, even when you're giving it your all. And internal cable routing keeps gear shifts clean and precise in even the worst riding conditions, as well as reducing the need for maintenance. We also remembered to include cable routing for a dropper post, should you wish to upgrade in the future. We sweated the details, so you can concentrate on the riding.
