An excellent frameset with good quality finishing kit at an attractive price, but the wheels are a touch underwhelming
Great value
Stiff and fast aero frameset
Smooth ride quality
Great handling
Neat cable routing
Easy cockpit adjustment
Clearance for 30mm tyres
Heavy wheelset and average tyres blunt the bike’s edge
Weight weenies will need to look elsewhere

Merida's Reacto aero road bike enters gen 4 with an all-new lightweight carbon frameset that is faster than ever, while adding even more versatility...

The brand new 2021 MERIDA REACTO in review. Aerodynamic optimisation, ample tire clearance and comfort!
Very composed
Good vibration damping
All-round abilities
Cable routing and level of integration
Front end susceptible to crosswinds

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

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

Good step up from the hire fleet if you're getting serious about track racing but the 500 build looks much better value
