Algupära
When Merida launched the original Reacto in 2011, aero road bikes were a rarity. The brand pioneered bladed forks, seattube cutouts, dropped stays and fully integrated cabling when most race bikes still ran exposed cables. The Reacto has since run through five generations, earning World Tour victories from cobblestones to mountain stages, and famously serving as Mark Cavendish's sprint weapon. Each generation has pushed further on integration and aerodynamics while quietly growing tyre clearance from 25 mm to 32 mm.

Tehnilised andmed
- Raam
- CF5 hi-mod carbon (965 g size M) or CF3 carbon (~1145 g size M). Both share identical geometry and aerodynamic performance. Current (2026) generation: CF5 frameset 1616 g / CF3 frameset 1704 g complete with fork (size M).
- Kaal
- kg
- Jõuülekanne
- Shimano 105 hydraulic disc (Reacto 4000/5000) through Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 (Team-E). Build-dependent. 52/36 crankset on most trims.
- Pidurid
- Hydraulic disc, flat mount with integrated Disc Cooler heat-sink fins on fork and frame. Shimano 105 / Ultegra / Dura-Ace depending on build.
- Rattad
- Merida Expert CW 30 mm deep alloy rims (mid trims, 19 mm internal, tubeless-compatible); carbon wheelsets on top builds.

Verdikt
+Tugevused
- World-class aero performance at a competitive price relative to Trek Madone or Specialized Venge-class bikes
- Disc Cooler heat management is a practical innovation for long descents and wet conditions
- 32 mm tyre clearance on current generation means race comfort without sacrificing aero intent
−Nõrkused
- Fully integrated cockpit makes handlebar fit adjustments complex — important to get sizing right before purchase
- CF3 builds add meaningful weight versus CF5; budget builds undercut the aero story with heavier wheels
- Less climbing-oriented than the Scultura — riders mixing terrain may prefer the lighter sibling
