CUBE REACTION C 62 PRO 2022 UPGRADE
Like the wheels, though, the C:62 will relish an upgrade when the originals wear out. Rolling resistance doesn't feel too bad either, and durability is good. It's not one of its most exciting offerings but decent enough, offering good levels of grip in the wet and dry. The Agree is great as a fast distance machine, with the ability to have a go for a little sprint or dig on a climb when the mood takes you.Ĭube has specced a set of Continental's Grand Sport Race SL tyres. Unless you like to descend like a complete hooligan all of the time, though, that's all immaterial really. It coped admirably with the rest of the descent. This was the only place I found I had to work the Cube, as the slightly relaxed endurance style handling left the front end feeling a tiny bit vague as I banked the bike over from left to right. My favourite downhill for testing bikes has a tricky off-camber chicane at the start, and it's one of the most technical bends I use because of the speed I'm carrying as I enter it. It's very composed, and at times the extra weight can actually be a bonus, making the Cube feel planted at speed, especially on rough road surfaces.
String together the racing line through some of your favourite corners and the C:62 feels great. That doesn't mean that the Agree isn't a bike you can have some fun on. The chilled nature of the handling allows you to make changes at the front without upsetting the overall confident feeling provided by the slightly extended (compared with a race machine) wheelbase.
You are basically getting a full-on road racer without the associated twitchy handling and stretched out position, which makes it an easy bike to live with, one that flatters you as a rider as you can get away with not quite nailing the quickest line through the corner or going in a bit too fast, for instance. It feels relatively nimble in the corners, and even with that 9.26kg all-up weight it feels responsive to accelerations and when climbing in the hills. The Agree is Cube's endurance model, which means it's ever so slightly relaxed when it comes to the speed of the handling and your overall position on the bike. > Buy Now: Cube Agree C:62 from Leisure Lakes Bikes for £3,399īefore we look at the modifications for this year's model, let me give you my opinion on what the C:62 is like to live with. The extra 1.5kg of this Pro model over the 7.7kg of that SLT is the only sacrifice, though the extra £1,300 in your pocket softens the blow. For 2022 that hasn't changed, despite tweaks to the frame and fork. It's still an easy bike to ride fast, flattering all but the most hamfisted of riders, and with the wide-ranging ratios of its electronic SRAM Rival groupset you'll always have plenty of gears whether you are ascending or coming down the other side.īack in October last year I rode the 2021 version of the Agree C:62, and overall I was impressed.
For 2022 Cube's Agree C:62 Pro has had a few aero tweaks, although the ride quality and way it behaves in the bends thankfully hasn't changed.
