We're picky about which bikes get to wear the Trail Motion name, but the new Reaction TM ONE has earned its place in this special CUBE category. Its long, low and slack frame – built to make tough trails easy to handle – is just the beginning. We chose an SR Suntour XCR34 air fork up front for its simple adjustment, 140mm of travel and super-precise steering. It's your wingman for when things get rowdy. Schwalbe's Magic Mary and Big Betty 2.4in tyres aid and abet your line choices, helped along by a remote dropper post. Magura's powerful MT Thirty hydraulic disc brakes with a 203mm rotor up front keep everything under control. And Shimano's 1x10 Cues gears put the right ratio at your fingertips. It's got it all – the rest is down to you.
