The Merida Reacto has always been a class-leading aero-bike, combining state-of-the-art aerodynamics with rider comfort. Now the 4th generation model of these Merida road bikes is here with better performance than ever before.
The Merida Reacto 7000 is a bike designed for serious riders, offering several enhancements over the 5000 and 6000 models.
Merida Reacto 7000 features
- Aero optimised carbon frameset
- Merida carbon wheelset
- Continental GP5000 25c tyres
- SRAM Rival AXS groupset
- SRAM Rival hydraulic disc brakes with Disk Cooler Technology
- Merida S-Flex seat post
Merida Reacto 7000 performance
Across the whole Merida Reacto range, Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) calculations were used to model performance in a virtual wind tunnel, guiding the changes that offered the most aerodynamic benefit. Prototypes were also wind tunnel-tested following the German Tour Magazine standard, including the moving leg dummy test. All this means that the Merida Reacto CF5 needs just 209 watts of effort for 45 km/h speed, making it 1 watt faster than its predecessor. This puts it in the leading group of the fastest aero road bikes ever tested by Tour Magazine.
Merida Reacto 7000 design
Small details, such as integrating the front disc cooler behind the fork and the rear disc calliper in the rear triangle, minimise drag and improve aerodynamic performance. A myriad of small improvements are also in place to compensate for the aerodynamic compromises made to give the Merida Reacto 7000 bigger tyres. This results in the perfect package of comfort, aerodynamics, lightweight, and style.
A long string of test wins, perfect scores, and awards confirm the successful evolution of the Merida Reacto 7000 over the previous model. Cycling Weekly described the Reacto as ‘without doubt one of the most complete bikes available on the market’. Cycling News added that it was ‘an utterly brilliant and faultless machine’, while Cycling Plus were ‘hugely impressed’.
All Merida Reacto bikes come with powerful hydraulic disc brakes and callipers mounted on the chain stay for better dissipation of braking forces. Callipers sit on top of CNC aluminium disc cooler fins which reduce operating temperatures by up to 35%.
