The Merida Reacto 5000 brings aerodynamic efficiency and smooth performance together in one stunning package. Designed for riders who want to go fast without compromising comfort, it’s a bike that performs equally well on long climbs, flat-out sprints, and everyday training rides.

At its heart is the CF3 carbon frame, sharing the same aerodynamic shaping and race geometry as the top-tier CF5, but using a more accessible carbon layup. Developed through Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and wind tunnel testing, the Reacto’s frame is sculpted for minimal drag, integrating details like the Disc Cooler fins, hidden thru-axle threads, and calipers tucked neatly into the frame to keep airflow smooth and efficient.

The result is a bike that feels fast everywhere — needing just 209 watts to hold 45 km/h in testing — yet remains impressively comfortable thanks to its carbon layup and the ability to fit 700x30c tyres for added cushioning and grip.

Shifting is handled by Shimano’s 105 Di2 12-speed electronic groupset, offering precise, reliable gear changes at the press of a button. The Shimano 105 hydraulic disc brakes deliver consistent, powerful braking in all conditions, with Merida’s Disc Cooler system reducing heat build-up by up to 35%, ideal for long descents or hot summer rides.

The Vision Team 35 wheelset provides a strong, aerodynamic base with a 35mm rim depth that strikes the right balance between speed and stability. Paired with Continental Grand Prix TR 28c tyres, they roll fast while maintaining dependable grip and comfort.

Finishing touches like the Merida Team CW carbon seatpost, Expert SL saddle, and integrated Merida multitool show the attention to detail that defines the Reacto range. Every component is chosen to balance performance, practicality, and reliability.

The Reacto 5000 is more than just a race bike — it’s a versatile, wind-cheating machine that makes every ride faster and more enjoyable. Whether you’re sprinting, climbing, or cruising, it delivers a blend of speed, comfort, and precision that’s hard to beat.
