The Reaction Hybrid SLX FE's full equipment package – including full-length mudguards, carrier, kickstand and integrated lighting system – means it's up for anything from a long weekend tour to the daily commute. The 800Wh battery, Kiox 500 display and Bosch's powerful CX motor – combined with Shimano's wide-ranging, wireless electronic XT Di2 1x12 gears – serve up the power to make light work of any route. Fox's 34 Float AWL fork smooths the trail or road ahead, and we fitted powerful Shimano XT 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes to ensure you can always slow and stop safely. Newmen's Performance 30 wheelset, shod with grippy, Kevlar-beaded 2.6in Schwalbe tyres, is light and tough. And with a remote dropper seatpost, comfortable gel saddle and our Variable Grip System, you're all set for wherever you choose to go next.

The Reaction Hybrid FE is full of neat touches – and we're not just talking about the included mudguards, carrier, lighting set and kickstand. It's PowerMore-ready, making it easy to add up to 250Wh of extra battery capacity. The 800Wh PowerTube battery and powerful Bosch CX drive are so neatly integrated, you'll barely notice them. The integrated seat clamp and cable routing complement the clean aesthetic, and the chain guide keeps everything where it should be. Plus, with Size Split, it's easy to find the perfect fit for every rider. We've thought of everything, so you can just ride.
