The Reaction C:62's frame condenses everything our engineering team has learnt about high-performance carbon frame construction into a light, strong and impressively responsive chassis. Crafted from our premium C:62 carbon using our Advanced Twin Mold manufacturing process, it's a masterpiece of minimalist perfection. The short rear end with Boost thru axle and Agile Ride Geometry creates a lively, responsive ride feel while an integrated headset and PressFit bottom bracket save precious grammes without sacrificing performance. Slim seat stays and a 27.2mm seat post help ensure you'll stay comfortable for longer, even when you're giving it your all. And internal cable routing keeps gear shifts clean and precise in even the worst riding conditions, reducing the need for maintenance and ensuring you never miss a shift. We even remembered to include cable routing for a dropper post, should you wish to upgrade in the future. And everything is designed to be as light as possible “ because less, after all, is more. Less weight means more speed...If you fancy the idea of leaving your competition in the dust, may we suggest the Reaction C:62 SL as a good starting point? With its light, stiff and responsive frame “ built from our premium C:62 carbon “ and a selection of components that won't let you down in the thick of the race action, it's the best way of ensuring that other riders only ever get to see your back disappearing into the distance. Race-inspired geometry built around a short, Boost axle-equipped rear end provides exceptional drivetrain rigidity and sharp handling thanks to our Agile Ride Geometry, while narrow seat stays and a slender 27.2mm seat post help reduce fatigue. There's a full Shimano XT 1x12 transmission with matching hydraulic disc brakes for precise shifting and powerful stopping, a light but strong Fulcrum wheelset shod with grippy Schwalbe tyres, a Fox Float 32 fork to keep the front wheel planted and tracking straight, and a Newmen carbon handlebar for even lower weight and greater comfort. All this premium kit and unsurpassed attention to detail is there for one reason, and one reason only: so that you can get on with the job of leading from the front.
