Merida Reacto 8000 2027 Road Race Bike
Aero efficiency, sharp handling and long-ride comfort come together in the Merida Reacto 8000 2027, built around the lightweight CF3 carbon aero frame (approx. 1,185 g in size M). With identical aerodynamic performance and stiffness numbers to the flagship CF5 platform, the CF3 frame delivers elite-level speed at a more accessible price point. Paired with Shimano’s Ultegra 12-speed Di2 groupset, a Reynolds AR 60 DB carbon wheelset, and the fully integrated Vision Metron 5D ACR EVO cockpit, this is one of the most compelling Reacto builds in the lineup.

Frame & Aerodynamics
The latest Reacto generation refines Merida’s aero concept with improved shaping, reduced weight and deeper integration. The CF3 frame mirrors the aerodynamic efficiency and stiffness of the top-tier CF5, making only small weight concessions to achieve a more competitive price. With clearance for 32 mm tyres, the Reacto 8000 maintains the comfort and control the platform is known for, even on rougher roads or long race days.

Shimano Ultegra Di2 delivers fast, precise electronic shifting and proven race-level reliability. The overall build is designed to maximise efficiency and responsiveness, giving riders the confidence to attack climbs, sprint for the line or hold high speeds on rolling terrain.
Wheels & Tyres
The Reynolds AR 60 DB carbon wheelset adds aerodynamic depth and stability, pairing perfectly with the Reacto’s wind-cheating frame. Continental GP5000S TR tyres in 28 mm offer fast rolling, excellent grip and a smooth ride feel that enhances both comfort and control.
Cockpit & Comfort
The Vision Metron 5D ACR EVO cockpit provides a stiff, aerodynamic front end with fully integrated cable routing. Merida’s S-FLEX carbon aero seatpost adds compliance without sacrificing efficiency, while DISC COOLER technology improves braking heat dissipation on long descents or repeated hard efforts.
Who It’s For
The Reacto 8000 is ideal for riders who want cutting-edge aero performance, premium components and long-ride comfort in a more accessible package. It’s equally at home in races, fast club rides and high-intensity training sessions, offering the speed and control that define the Reacto family.
