CUBE Reaction C:62 ONE 2026

Description

CUBE Reaction C:62 ONE – Carbon Performance, XC Pedigree

Step into the world of premium carbon fibre mountain biking with the CUBE Reaction C:62 ONE. This isn’t just a lighter version of the aluminium Reaction – it’s a completely different riding experience. CUBE’s C:62® carbon fibre technology delivers race-level performance with a compliance and efficiency that aluminium simply can’t match.

C:62® Carbon – CUBE’s Premium Carbon Fibre

Not all carbon fibre is created equal. CUBE’s C:62® carbon represents years of materials science and racing refinement:

What Makes C:62® Special:

Increased high-modulus fibre content – Exceptional stiffness without weight penalty
Nanoparticle-reinforced resin – Enhanced bonding strength and durability
Monocoque construction – Seamless one-piece main triangle for optimal load distribution
Advanced Twin Mould process – Two-stage moulding ensures precise fibre placement
Targeted fibre layup – Strength and stiffness exactly where needed, compliance where beneficial

The result? A frame that’s exceptionally strong, impressively light, and surprisingly comfortable – the carbon advantage in full effect.

Advanced Twin Mould Manufacturing

CUBE’s Advanced Twin Mould process is what separates C:62® from lesser carbon frames:

Stage 1: Precise fibre layup in the first mould
Stage 2: Inner form maintains exact fibre position during curing
Result: Lighter, stronger frame with optimised fibre density throughout

This meticulous process allows CUBE to fine-tune the frame’s characteristics – stiff where you need power transfer, compliant where you need comfort, strong where stress is highest.

Frame Features – Engineered Excellence

C:62® Monocoque Frame:

Boost 12x148mm rear spacing – Stiff, strong wheel mounting
Full internal cable routing – Clean aesthetics, protected cables
Integrated seat clamp – Minimal weight, maximum security, seamless appearance
UDH (Universal Derailleur Hanger) – Future-proof drivetrain compatibility
Dropper post routing – Ready for upgrade
92mm Press-fit bottom bracket – Optimised stiffness and power transfer
Tapered head tube – Precision steering with oversised lower bearing

Advanced Headset System: The ACROS AZF-675 ICR (Integrated Cable Routing) headset isn’t just for cable management – it features fibre inserts for angle adjustment, allowing fine-tuning of the bike’s handling characteristics.

Agile Ride Geometry – Balanced Performance

The Reaction C:62’s Agile Ride Geometry delivers the ideal balance for cross-country and light trail riding:

68.5° head angle – Stable yet responsive
74° seat angle – Efficient, forward pedalling position
Optimised reach and stack – Modern, comfortable positioning
Short 410-426mm chainstays – Snappy acceleration, agile handling
Low bottom bracket – Stable, planted feel

This geometry makes the bike feel alive under you – responsive when climbing, confident when descending, and efficient everywhere in between.

Size Split – The Right Wheel for Every Rider

27.5″ wheel (XS): Perfect proportions for the smallest riders
29″ wheels (S, M, L, XL, XXL): Fast-rolling efficiency for most riders

Every size gets geometry optimised for its wheel size, ensuring the bike handles as intended regardless of frame size.

Shimano XT 1×12 Drivetrain – Race-Proven Precision

The legendary Shimano XT groupset needs no introduction:

Shimano XT RD-M8100-SGS – ShadowPlus rear derailleur, 12-speed precision
Shimano XT SL-M8100 shifters – Instant, accurate gear changes
Shimano Deore CS-M6100 cassette – Enormous 10-51T range (510%)
ACID MTB Pro crankset – Lightweight 32T chainring
KMC X12 chain – Smooth, durable 12-speed performance

This drivetrain offers the perfect blend of range, reliability, and low weight – exactly what you want for cross-country racing or aggressive trail riding.

RockShox Recon Silver RL – Sophisticated Suspension

The RockShox Recon Silver RL Air fork brings adjustable performance:

100mm travel – XC-optimised travel amount
Air spring – Easy adjustment for rider weight and terrain
RL (Remote Lockout) – OneLoc handlebar control for instant lockout
Proven reliability – RockShox quality and service network

The remote lockout is particularly valuable – lock it out for paved climbs, open it up when the trail gets rough, all without taking your hands off the bars.
