REACTION C:62 RACE

This MTB speed measure favors setups that roll efficiently without sacrificing too much traction. Put simply, it's set up to reward hard efforts with higher cruising speed. What pushes it in this direction is a very light build, a lighter-feeling build that helps when you're pedaling for speed, typical trail-width tires, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding.

If your rides include hills, it rates 9.9/10 for climbing. Within Mountain bikes, this comes out near the top. It’s set up for smooth spinning on steeper climbs. In numbers, the low gear is roughly 16.9 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~77% versus similar bikes. Gear inches is basically “how easy is the easiest gear”. Lower numbers help you keep your legs spinning on steep bits. Weight is around 10.2 kg, which is typical for this kind of build. You’ll be able to keep a steady spin even when it gets steep. Specs can vary by size and build, and some manufacturer details aren’t always published, so treat this as a strong guide rather than a guarantee.

Suspension: 5/10, classed as “Confident trail control”. It’s built for clear bump absorption and more reliable wheel control on mixed surfaces. The fork does the smoothing; the rear stays straightforward and efficient. 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. You get this posture because bar height comes out ~88 mm below the saddle (large), with about 608 mm of forward reach - a very long stretch. You'll likely be near 36 degrees of lean. Estimated spacers: ~14 mm.

This bike's adjustability comes down to cockpit, routing, and seat setup: Because the bar and stem are separate, changing reach or bar shape is usually straightforward, and Because cables are routed internally, adjustments may take more work. So we classify it as Adjustable. In practice, it is about how easy fit changes are with normal parts and service work.

Comfort comes out to 6.4/10, which usually translates to a comfortable ride. That’s the reason it lands as Balanced. The posture is forward, attacking (posture 7/10, torso ~36°), which loads the front wheel, which feels great for control but a bit more direct through the bars.

In simple terms, it comes out as ‘about right’ for the category. The value score is 1–10. Higher means better value for money; lower means the price is high for what you get. Uses MSRP as a baseline; real-world prices can be lower (discounts can change the value). On the spec estimate, the price is close to what we’d expect for a comparable build. Among comparable bikes, it sits around the middle on price (cheaper than about 49% of listings). To anchor it: price €2.624 versus an estimated €2.433 for a similar build. Put simply: you’re paying roughly what similar bikes tend to cost.

This bike is best for smoother trails where speed and efficiency matter. It has about 100 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which suits smoother trails. Overall, the setup matches this surface range well.
