My second question in unravelling my e bike choice:
Just looking at the images it is difficult to tell the difference between the cube reaction and the cube acid.
Can you help
The reaction series is designed as a 'proper' hardtail mountain bike, capable of not only general trail use, but also more hard core/racing type use.
The acid can also do trails, but its a bit 'softer' and aimed more at the leisure or touring type use.
I haven't checked the geometry, but I'd expect the reaction to be a bit more more aggressive.
