Merida Reacto Disc 5000 2020

Aug 2020 · Stu Kerton

Not the lightest or most comfortable, but if speed is your main goal then the Reacto delivers

Highs
  • Powerful riders will love the stiffness levels

  • Integrated rear seatpost light is a neat touch

Lows
  • Not the lightest aero bike out there

  • Non-series crankset cheapens the look

Merida Reacto Disc 6000 review

Jul 2018 · Guy Kesteven

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

Highs
  • Punchy and reactive all-rounder with proper aggressive aero position potential

Lows
  • Edgy handling and firm ride can become a handful in some situations
