For This Bike
Mar 2020 · Graham Cottingham
One month into our longterm test and the Merida Reacto LTD road bike is already impressing us
Effortless straight-line speed
Scything high-speed cornering capabilities
Dampening when dealing with large impacts
Doesn't come with tubeless tyres as standard
The rear light is far from reliable
Jun 2019 · Stu Kerton
A fast machine with sorted geometry, but its firm ride won't appeal to all
Dec 2018 · Paul Norman
We’ve ridden the latest version of Merida’s aero bike, complete with disc brakes
Efficient aero frameset
Superb groupset
Above average adjustability for an aero bike
Some buffeting in crosswinds
Quite high geared
Spacers under stem can move around

The Reacto 5000 proves that aero doesn’t have to mean bone-shaking, and seriously expands its real-world usability because of it. Buy if you want to reap some aerodynamic benefit on every ride for free
Great ride quality and handling, surprising comfort, Ultegra parts
Some lower spec parts to allow for the fine frameset
