Product Information

Full details

The Cube Reaction Hybrid Race 800Wh is designed for adventurous riders seeking to extend their trail explorations. Its key benefit is the massive 800Wh battery paired with a powerful Bosch CX motor for extended range and capable climbing, though its hardtail design means it may not be ideal for the most extreme downhill terrain. This e-MTB features a lightweight aluminum frame, RockShox air suspension, SRAM Eagle 12-speed gears, and powerful 4-piston disc brakes, making it a robust option for tackling varied off-road routes.

FAQs

What is the intended use for the Cube Reaction Hybrid Race 800Wh?

This e-MTB is designed for trail riding, cross-country, and all-day adventures, offering extended range and capable climbing performance on varied off-road terrain.

Can I add an extra battery?

Yes, the bike is PowerMore-ready, allowing you to add an optional 250Wh range extender battery to further increase your riding distance.

What is the difference between this and a full-suspension e-MTB?

This is a hardtail e-MTB, meaning it has suspension only on the front fork. Full-suspension bikes have suspension on both the front and rear, offering more comfort and capability on very rough or technical downhill terrain.

How do I charge the Bosch battery?

The 800Wh PowerTube battery can be charged while installed in the frame using the provided Bosch charger, or removed for charging separately indoors.

What maintenance does the Bosch system require?

The Bosch system itself requires minimal maintenance beyond keeping it clean. Regular software updates via the Bosch Flow app are recommended. Proper battery care is essential for longevity.

Is the bike suitable for commuting?

Yes, with the addition of optional racks, fenders, and lights, the Cube Reaction Hybrid Race 800Wh can be a very capable and comfortable commuter, especially for longer distances.

What tire pressure should I use?

Tire pressure depends on rider weight, terrain, and tire choice. For the 2.6” Schwalbe Smart Sam tires, a typical range is between 1.5 to 2.5 bar (22-36 PSI). Always check the tire sidewall for maximum pressure limits.

Troubleshooting

Motor not providing assistance

Check battery charge level and ensure it is properly seated. Verify the speed sensor is clean and aligned. Restart the system and check the Bosch display for error codes. Ensure the user interface is correctly connected.

Battery not charging

Ensure the charger is plugged in correctly and the outlet is functional. Clean the battery contacts and charger pins. Try a different charger if available.

Shifting is rough or inaccurate

Check the derailleur hanger for bends. Ensure the gear cable is not frayed and properly tensioned. Refer to SRAM's documentation for derailleur adjustment procedures.

Brakes feel weak or spongy

Check brake pad wear and clean rotors. If the issue persists, the brake system may require bleeding to remove air from the hydraulic lines. Consult a bike mechanic if unsure.

Suspension feels too stiff or too soft

Adjust the air pressure in the RockShox fork to match your body weight and riding preference. Consult the RockShox manual for specific tuning guides.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup:

Upon receiving the bike, it is recommended to have a professional bike mechanic perform a final assembly and safety check. This includes ensuring all bolts are torqued to specification, brakes are bedded in, and suspension is set to your weight and riding style. The Bosch system will require initial activation and pairing via the Bosch Flow app.

Compatibility:

  • Battery: Compatible with the Bosch 800Wh PowerTube and can accommodate an optional Bosch 250Wh PowerMore range extender.
  • Drivetrain: Uses standard SRAM Eagle 12-speed components.
  • Brakes: Compatible with Magura hydraulic disc brake systems.
  • Wheels: 29” tubeless-ready wheels, suitable for standard MTB tire pressures.
  • Accessories: Features integrated mounting points for Cube/ACID racks, fenders, and lights. Check for specific mount standards.

Care and Maintenance:

  • Cleaning: Clean the bike regularly with mild soap and water. Avoid high-pressure washers, especially around the motor and battery area. Dry thoroughly.
  • Battery: Store the battery in a dry place at moderate temperatures when not in use for extended periods. Ensure it's charged periodically.
  • Drivetrain: Keep the chain clean and lubricated. Regular cleaning and inspection of the cassette and chainrings are recommended.
  • Brakes: Check brake pad wear and rotor condition regularly. Ensure hydraulic lines are free from leaks.
  • Suspension: Follow RockShox's recommendations for fork servicing to maintain optimal performance. Ensure tire pressure is set correctly for optimal grip and comfort.
  • Storage: Store the bike in a cool, dry place, ideally out of direct sunlight. If storing for a long period, reduce the battery charge to around 50-60%.
