For This Bike
Feb 2016 · Mat Brett
A fast and agile aero road bike with features that really do add comfort to the ride
Dec 2015 · Marc Abbott
The Merida Reacto 5000 is an aero weapon with all the right ammunition: speed, efficiency and comfort.
Comfortable for an aero bike
Seat clamp is a fiddle
Mar 2015 · David Rome
This performance racer keeps up on the climbs without giving an inch in the sprint. Just don’t call it a Dura-Ace bike – that’s kept for rides that can stop as well as go
Jan 2015 · Chris Catchpole
The Merida Reacto DA LTD is a fast looking bike with the potential for both high straight line speed and KOM records; we've tested it to see if the results are as obvious as you'd think.
Super fast and stiff
Sleek looks
Generally good spec and finishing kit
Great choice of wheels and tyres
Poor brakes
Ride feels numb
Jittery front end

Only three Merida Reacto KOM frames exist, and Costa is riding one of them at the Tour de France
