The Cube Reaction Hybrid Performance comes in a varying array of options, with the name “400” or “500” denoting the 400 watt or 500 watt battery pack that comes with the e-bike. This is among their more popular models given the value price point, versatility, and trusted Bosch Performance Line Cruise motor. 
The Reaction Hybrid Performance model is a new model from 2021 onwards that has replaced the prior “Acid Hybrid.” 
Despite using the lowest capacity battery from Bosch’s range, the bike still gets a good rep, with users reporting that it climbs well with the 11-36 tooth cassette and nine speeds. 


The Cube Reaction Hybrid Performance is an “all road” bike that performs well both in urban landscapes and mountain bike terrain cross country. 

Cube - Reaction Hybrid Performance

The Cube Reaction Hybrid Performance is among the best values if you’re looking for a high-quality, mid-drive, multi-purpose electric bike on the market without breaking the bank. 
While other electric bikes within the same price range may offer e-MTB functionality, the Cube Reaction Hybrid Performance boasts the Bosch Performance Line Cruise – one of the better motors for electric bikes. 
Despite being slightly less of a force than the Performance Line CX, this model is much more quiet and efficient. It maintains proper shift detection and is responsive to pedal input. 
As the chainring can also cycle backwards, you’ll have a much easier time with maintenance. Given its high-specs affordability, we couldn’t recommend the Cube Reaction Hybrid Performance more – just try to opt for the “500” model with the upgraded battery pack.
