REACTION HYBRID, RACE 800 ALLROAD

For mountain riding, it captures how the bike carries speed when you're pushing the pedals on less technical surfaces. That's why it's more about stability and usefulness than feeling fast. It trends this way because of a heavier build, typical trail-width tires, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding. On smoother terrain, the tire setup is biased toward rolling speed on firm ground.

Uphill performance score: 4.8/10. Within e-mountain bikes, it lands around the middle. It has an easy low gear for steady climbing. Your easiest gear lands around 20.1 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~24% of them. We use “gear inches” as a shortcut for climbing gearing. Lower numbers mean you can spin more easily when it gets steep. At about 26.2 kg, it’s a heavy build; the low gear matters even more when the slope kicks up. The motor support helps you keep rolling when the slope kicks up. You’ll be able to keep a steady spin even when it gets steep. Real-world feel depends on setup and size, and some details aren’t always listed, so this is best seen as a well-informed estimate.

Suspension performance: 6/10. It’s grouped into “Confident trail control”. This usually points to stronger bump control and steadier tracking when the surface gets choppy. Hardtail layout — suspension up front for control, rigid rear for a direct response. On choppy terrain, it can help the wheels track more consistently. This level usually brings more reliable wheel tracking on rough patches and repeated hits.

Balanced fit - a versatile position for long rides and faster efforts. Because there's about 80 mm of drop to the bars (large), with roughly 606 mm of forward stretch to the bar (very long). Estimated lean is about 34 degrees.

Fit flexibility summary: This front-end is not locked into a one-piece system, which helps adjustability, Internal cable routing can slow down fit-related part changes; Having a dropper increases how adaptable the bike feels in different situations. Overall, it falls into Adjustable. In practice, it is about how easy fit changes are with normal parts and service work.

Comfort comes out to 6.6/10, which usually translates to a easygoing over rough patches ride. That’s why it’s labeled Firm. The posture is neutral (posture 6/10, torso ~34°), which gives a steady, predictable feel without pushing you too far forward.

This looks like a great buy for the spec on paper. Value is scored 1–10: higher is better value, lower means you’re paying more than similar bikes. Uses MSRP as a baseline; real-world prices can be lower (discounts can change the value). Based on the spec estimate, it comes in about 17% under the typical level for similar builds. Against similar bikes of the same type and age, it’s usually on the cheaper side, beating about 87% of listings. To anchor it: price €3.884 versus an estimated €4.684 for a similar build. Put simply: this is strong value for what’s included.

This setup is aimed at fast trail riding on less extreme terrain. It has about 120 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which suits smoother trails. Even though it’s tagged Trail, the setup fits Flow Trails better.
