Summary
The Merida Reacto is a high-performance aero bike that combines speed, stiffness, and surprising comfort, making it suitable for both racing and long rides. It features a stiff frame and fork for efficient power transfer, with comfort-enhancing elements like the S-Flex seat post. However, it faces criticism for its heavy wheels and braking performance issues.

Responsive handling

Not particularly lightweight
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
BikeRadarThis bike is agile, it's comfortable and, above all, it's very quick.

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
