Simply put, the Reaction Hybrid SLT represents the state of the art in aluminium e-MTB technology. Whether it's the ultimate drivetrain performance or the best bike handling experience that you're seeking, it all comes together here in a single, exceptional hardtail. Our engineers created a brand new frame for 2018, with even more refined looks and performance to extract the best from you and the Bosch drive. Combined with Fox's plush 34 Rhythm fork, Shimano 11 speed XT transmission and hydraulic disc brakes, we've cut no corners in our quest to produce the ultimate machine for off-road adventurers. Ride further, faster and more often: the trail awaits.

Our e-MTB hardtail frames were already highly regarded, but that wasn't good enough for the CUBE design team. The Reaction Hybrid SLT sets a new benchmark in e-MTB design thanks to its sophisticated, gravity cast down tube and bottom bracket design. Completely enclosing the battery under a water-resistant cover, it's more than just an æsthetic upgrade. The lower centre of gravity, combined with our proprietary Agile Ride Geometry, results in even better handling than before. It also frees up enough space inside the frame for two water bottle mounts - and you can charge the battery without removing it, too. In keeping with the frame's elegant looks, we ran cables internally to reduce clutter and the need for maintenance, and the Boost 12mm thru-axle at the rear helps with power transfer and steering accuracy.
