The Reaction Hybrid Race FE is packed full of practical details. There's the mudguards, sturdy luggage carrier, neat lighting set and stable kickstand, for a start. A remote dropper seatpost, so you can tackle more challenging trails more easily, and variable bar-width lock-on grips. Then we added 4-piston Shimano XT hydraulic disc brakes and grippy Schwalbe 2.6in tyres, for safe stopping in any weather. An easily adjustable Fox 34 AWL air-sprung suspension fork with 120mm travel (100mm on the smallest frame sizes and Easy Entry frame options), for more comfort and control. And Shimano's wide-ranging XT 1x12 gears, to help make even the most challenging route easier. We sweated the detail, so you can just enjoy the ride.
