Cube Reaction C:62 Youth 2020 - Junior Bike

Small, but perfectly formed: that's the Reaction C:62 Youth. Boasting the same frame features and attention to detail as our full-size Reaction C:62 frames, it's the light, stiff and responsive frame that'll make the most of your young racer's energy and enthusiasm. The tapered head tube, short rear end and stiff chain stays ensure that every single watt expended at the pedals goes towards propelling the bike forwards, but slim seat stays and a narrow 27.2mm seat post work with carbon's natural vibration-damping properties to deliver a ride that's surprisingly comfortable, too. Internal cable routing keeps gears shifting cleanly and reliably through the worst trail and weather conditions – and dad won't have to spend his time fiddling with adjustments. It's a full-blown junior racer, and it should give your own junior racer all the excuse they need to pedal their heart out... and have fun.

If your junior mountain biker has caught the racing bug, they'll need a bike to make the most of their evolving skills and fitness. That's why we built the Reaction C:62 Youth – a light, fast, carbon-framed hardtail built to the same standards as our adult race bikes. Crafted from our premium C:62 carbon using our Advanced Twin Mold process, it boasts exactly the same features you'd expect to see on a World Cup athlete's bike. The tapered head tube and 12mm thru rear axle combine to create a stiff, precise frame. At the same time, slender seat stays and a narrow 27.2mm seat post make the most of carbon's inherent vibration-damping properties to improve comfort. The result is a bike that's as fast as it is good-looking – so, of course, we needed to give it the best components. The air-sprung Manitou Markhor fork works with wide, grippy Schwalbe tyres to deliver impeccable comfort and control, while Sram's NX Eagle drivetrain serves up 12 wide-ranging, perfectly-spaced gears for tackling even the toughest of tracks. Answer Attack MA rims are light enough for racing but tough enough to stay the course, and Magura MT4 hydraulic disc brakes offer fantastic stopping power in all weathers. All that's needed for a podium finish is a keen young rider with the will to win...
