Best of all worlds: the Reaction Hybrid Pro FE combines the versatility of a fully equipped tourer and the ruggedness of a mountain bike, with added Bosch power. The mudguards, luggage carrier, kickstand and lights are just the start. You can also tackle any route, off-road or on, with ease thanks to an 800Wh battery and powerful Bosch CX drive. Combined with Shimano's wide-ranging XT 12-speed gears, it's all you need to comfortably ride any hill. For coming back down the other side, we fitted strong Shimano 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes and grippy Schwalbe 2.6in tyres. There's also a RockShox Recon Silver air fork with 120mm of travel (100mm for small frame sizes and for all Easy Entry models), and a remote dropper seatpost for extra comfort and control.
