Summary
The Merida Reacto is celebrated for its exceptional speed and aero efficiency, translating every watt into forward momentum with razor-sharp handling and impressive comfort for an aero bike. It offers a stiff, responsive ride with significant speed advantages over segments, though some models may suffer from a firm ride and minor component issues. The Reacto stands out for its thoughtful design, including a well-integrated frame and smart cable routing, making it a strong contender in the aero bike category.

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

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

Exceptional aero road bike that offers fast reactions, a stunning spec and plenty of comfort
