Unadulterated aero road speed. The latest version of the Reacto took the cycling press by storm. A long string of test wins, perfect scores and awards confirm Merida’s successful symbiosis of the race-proven DNA of the previous model with the latest trends and technologies. Cycling Weekly calls it 'without doubt one of the most complete bikes available on the market', Cyclingnews 'an utterly brilliant and faultless machine' and Cycling Plus were 'hugely impressed'. From serious racer via enthusiast to the ambitious road rider, the Reacto is a great bike for many people. Its outstanding aerodynamic performance, reduced weight, sharp handling and super quick acceleration makes it the perfect bike for criterium racers and sprinters. At the same time, the class-leading comfort gives it the ability to play out its aerodynamic advantage also on the cobblestones – or the idyllic but potholed littered lanes of your favourite training ride.

With it’s beautifully crafted CF3 carbon frame and fork the Reacto 8000 impresses with remarkable acceleration and power transfer, low weight, impressive aerodynamics, perfect cable integration and outstanding aero bike comfort. Shimano’s Ultegra Di2 2 x 12 speed drivetrain provides precise and fast electric shifting performance while Shimano Ultegra hydraulic disc brakes with disc cooler technology ensures reliable braking performance even on the longest of descents. Rolling on a Reynolds AR60 DB carbon wheelset with Continental 5000S tubless ready 25mm tyres, the 8000 is one of the top bikes in Merida’s Reacto line-up. It loves to be raced hard but equally enjoys challenging your club buddies on the ups, the downs and the flats.
