Summary

The Merida Reacto is a highly efficient aero road bike that combines speed with comfort, making it suitable for racing and longer rides. It features a responsive and aggressive design, with a stiff frame for excellent power delivery and aero seatpost for shock absorption. While it excels in aerodynamics and handling, some reviews note its firm ride over rough surfaces and edgy handling in crosswinds.

jul 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

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

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