Aerodynamic Performance
The Reacto Team uses refined tube shaping, integrated cockpit design, and wind tunnel validated profiles to minimise drag across real world riding conditions. Its aero efficiency has been proven in both laboratory testing and top tier racing, giving riders a platform that excels in sprints, breakaways, and high speed efforts.
Frame Stiffness & Power Transfer
Merida’s highest grade CF5 IV carbon layup delivers an exceptional balance of low weight and high torsional stiffness. Every watt is converted into forward motion, making the bike explosive under acceleration and highly efficient during sustained power efforts.
Handling & Stability
Race focused geometry gives the Reacto Team sharp, predictable handling at speed. The bike remains stable in crosswinds and confident through fast corners, offering control that matches its aerodynamic speed. The balanced ride feel ensures the bike stays composed even when pushed to its limits.
Ride Quality
Despite its race first design, the Reacto Team maintains impressive comfort for long, fast rides. The carbon construction helps filter road buzz, while the aero seatpost and frame shaping contribute to a smooth, efficient ride feel that keeps fatigue at bay.
Dual Sided Power Meter
A Shimano dual sided power meter comes integrated with the Dura Ace chainset, giving riders precise left/right balance data and accurate power measurement. This is a genuine performance upgrade for training, racing, and structured efforts-allowing riders to track improvements, pace climbs, and optimise race strategy with pro level accuracy.
