Merida Reacto 5000 2026

Aerodynamic Carbon Road Bike with Shimano 105 Di2

The Merida Reacto 5000 2026 is a high-performance carbon aero road bike designed for riders who demand speed, efficiency, and all-day comfort. Built around Merida’s lightweight CF3 carbon frame, it shares the same race-proven ProTour geometry and aerodynamic profiling as the flagship CF5 model but uses a more budget-friendly carbon layup. Engineered for optimal speed in real-world conditions, it’s equipped with Shimano’s latest 105 Di2 2×12 electronic groupset, Vision Team 35 wheels, and powerful Shimano 105 hydraulic disc brakes for confident control in all conditions.

Refined through Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and extensive wind tunnel testing, the Reacto 5000 2026 minimises drag with details such as an integrated front Disc Cooler behind the fork, a neatly positioned rear caliper within the rear triangle, and custom bolt-through axles with integrated dropout threads. These subtle innovations combine to offset aerodynamic compromises caused by wider tyres, ensuring the bike delivers exceptional speed with outstanding rider comfort. With just 209 watts required to maintain 45km/h on the top-tier CF5 platform, the Reacto series remains a class-leading choice for serious cyclists.

The CF3 frame accommodates up to 700x30c tyres for enhanced comfort on rougher roads, features a tapered head tube for precise handling, and uses the BB86 bottom bracket standard for stiffness and power transfer. Merida’s Disc Cooler technology reduces braking temperatures by up to 35%, helping to maintain performance on long descents. Continental Grand Prix TR tubeless-ready tyres further enhance rolling efficiency and grip, making this bike ideal for competitive racing, fast club rides, and endurance events.

Key Features:

  • Lightweight CF3 carbon aero frame with ProTour geometry

  • Shimano 105 Di2 2×12 electronic shifting for precise, reliable performance

  • Vision Team 35 alloy wheelset with 35mm rim depth and tubeless-ready design

  • Shimano 105 hydraulic disc brakes with chainstay-mounted calipers and Disc Cooler technology

  • Continental Grand Prix TR 700x28c tubeless-ready tyres for speed and comfort

  • Aerodynamically optimised features refined through CFD and wind tunnel testing

  • Maximum tyre clearance: 700x30c

The Merida Reacto 5000 2026 is built for riders who want an aero road bike that excels in both racing and endurance riding, delivering uncompromising performance, control, and comfort in one sleek package.
