Summary
The Merida Reacto is a high-performance aero bike that excels in stiffness and speed, offering a surprisingly comfortable ride for its category. It's praised for its aerodynamic efficiency, responsive handling, and race-ready components, though some models suffer from heavy wheels and subpar braking performance. The bike's design balances stiffness with comfort, making it suitable for long rides and competitive racing.
Supremely stiff frame
Noticeably fast
Comfortable for an aero bike
Good vibration isolation
Responsive handling
Wheels too heavy
Subpar braking performance
Expensive
Firm ride due to non-flexible seatpost
Generic brakes are borderline dangerous
The Team E is not just lighter, it also feels a lot stiffer in both the frame and fork.
Cycling WeeklyThe Reacto seems to have pulled off the trick of providing decent comfort at the same time as impressive stiffness
CyclistThe 2015 Merida Reacto DA LTD, so much bike for the money – but far from perfect
BikeRadarAerodynamics beats light weight. That's why this bike is worthy of serious consideration.

The Merida Reacto 5000 is an aero weapon with all the right ammunition: speed, efficiency and comfort.

Seat clamp is a fiddle

It's not light but aerodynamic efficiency makes this bike fast over all but the steepest of climbs
mar 2015 · David Rome
This performance racer keeps up on the climbs without giving an inch in the sprint. Just don’t call it a Dura-Ace bike – that’s kept for rides that can stop as well as go

The Merida Reacto DA LTD is a fast looking bike with the potential for both high straight line speed and KOM records; we've tested it to see if the results are as obvious as you'd think.
Super fast and stiff
Sleek looks
Generally good spec and finishing kit
Great choice of wheels and tyres
Poor brakes
Ride feels numb
Jittery front end
