The SL tag isn't one that we give a bike lightly. In the case of the Reaction Hybrid SL, the combination of our premium aluminium e-MTB frame and a selection of light, smooth and desirable components means it's thoroughly earned “ this is a Bosch e-bike that will redefine your expectations. The fully integrated battery design means improved handling, smarter looks and better functionality, not to mention the fact that most people won't realise you're on board an e-bike. With a RockShox Judy Gold air fork smoothing out the trail, Newmen cockpit components, Shimano hydraulic disc brakes “ with 4 piston front caliper “ and a slick-shifting Shimano 11 speed transmission delivering power to the back wheel, the Reaction Hybrid SL is the e-MTB you've been waiting for. Ride further, ride faster, ride more. Why not?You won't believe the sleek appearance of the Reaction Hybrid SL's frame, but its beauty is more than skin deep. The gravity cast down tube features a removable, sealed cover to protect the battery “ which you can charge without removing from the frame, if you wish. The Bosch CX drive unit is positioned in the ideal spot for optimum efficiency and the best possible handling. The sleek frame design has also enabled us to fit up to two bottle cage mounts, meaning you can take more fluids with you to stay hydrated on longer rides. It's also brought the frame's centre of gravity lower, for even better handling in combination with our Agile Ride Geometry. The 12mm Boost thru-axle at the rear helps with power transfer and steering accuracy, and the internally routed gear cables ensure your gear shifting stays clean and crisp no matter what the weather throws at you. We've even included cable routing for a quick and easy dropper post upgrade, so you can expand your riding horizons.
