Gearing

A bike with lower gearing will be easier to ride up steep hills, while a higher top end means it will pedal faster down hills.

Merida Reacto DA LTD review

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

Merida Reacto DA LTD

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.

Highs
  • Super fast and stiff

  • Sleek looks

  • Generally good spec and finishing kit

  • Great choice of wheels and tyres

Lows
  • Poor brakes

  • Ride feels numb

  • Jittery front end
