Those who go on an exploration tour by bike need a reliable partner – which is why we equipped the Reaction Hybrid SLX with a 12-speed XT drivetrain and matching Shimano XT 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes. Both work super reliably and are easy to use, keeping the fun of riding in focus! The same goes for the Fox 34 Float AWL suspension fork, which comfortably absorbs shocks from rough trails while providing top-notch steering precision. Equally comfortable is the support from the quiet-running CX motor by Bosch, powered by an 800 Wh PowerTube battery – a broad grin on your face is guaranteed. We have fitted the Newmen Performance 30 wheels with 2.6-inch Schwalbe Smart Sam tires, which combine plenty of grip with a pleasant riding feel. Last but not least, the dropper seat post ensures reliable handling on more challenging trails. So, where should the next adventure go?
