Summary
The Merida Reacto is a highly efficient aero road bike that combines speed with comfort, making it suitable for racing and longer rides. It features a responsive and aggressive design, with a stiff frame for excellent power delivery and aero seatpost for shock absorption.

Reacto is exactly the right name for this aggressively responsive aero all-rounder. Buy if you want the aero bike equivalent of a hot hatch rather than a supercharged saloon
