Great aero bike on a budget – but change the wheels as soon as you can to get the most out of it
Very stiff
Quick performance
Sharp handling
Very good value
Disappointing wheels
Can feel excessively rigid at times

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

Some buffeting in crosswinds
Quite high geared
