juil. 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

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

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