Reacto CF5 V Carbon Frame for Aerodynamic Performance
At the heart of the Merida Reacto Pro 2027 is the Reacto CF5 V carbon frame, paired with a matching CF5 V Disc fork. Developed as an aerodynamic road racing platform, the Reacto is designed to help riders maintain speed efficiently, particularly during sustained efforts and fast riding on open roads. Its carbon construction provides the foundation for a responsive, race-focused bike suited to demanding training sessions and competitive events.
Clearance for tyres up to 32C gives riders additional flexibility when selecting tyres for different road conditions. Although the bike comes equipped with 28C tyres, the option to fit wider tyres allows riders to prioritise additional comfort and grip where required.
Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 Electronic Shifting
The Merida Reacto Pro features Shimano Dura-Ace Di2, Shimano’s premium electronic road groupset. Designed for competitive cycling, Dura-Ace Di2 delivers fast, precise and consistent gear changes, helping riders maintain their rhythm during hard accelerations, climbs and changes in pace. Electronic shifting also removes the need for traditional mechanical shift cables, providing consistent operation without cable stretch affecting gear indexing.
The Dura-Ace drivetrain includes a Shimano Dura-Ace R9200 cassette and matching Dura-Ace chainset, while Shimano hydraulic disc brakes provide controlled braking performance. This combination is particularly valuable when riding at speed, navigating technical descents or competing in changeable weather.
DT Swiss ARC 1600 SPLINE Carbon Wheels
DT Swiss ARC 1600 SPLINE carbon wheels complement the Reacto Pro’s aerodynamic design. Developed for performance road cycling, the ARC wheel platform is designed with aerodynamic efficiency in mind, making it well suited to maintaining speed during races, fast group rides and demanding training sessions.
The wheels are paired with Continental Grand Prix TR 700 x 28C tyres, providing a performance-focused setup for road riding. The 28C tyre width offers a balance of rolling efficiency, grip and comfort, while the frame’s additional tyre clearance provides scope for wider options if preferred.
Merida Team SL 1P Integrated Cockpit
The Merida Team SL 1P integrated handlebar and stem creates a clean, streamlined cockpit that complements the Reacto’s aerodynamic frame design. By integrating the handlebar and stem into a single unit, Merida provides a race-focused front end designed around efficient road cycling and a purposeful riding position.
The integrated cockpit also contributes to the Reacto Pro’s distinctive appearance, making it particularly appealing to cyclists looking for a modern aerodynamic road bike.
Reacto V S-FLEX Seatpost and Prologo Scratch M5 Saddle
The Merida Reacto V S-FLEX seatpost is designed to complement the aerodynamic Reacto frame while incorporating a degree of compliance to help manage road vibrations. This is particularly useful during longer rides, where comfort can become increasingly important without compromising the bike’s race-focused character.
A Prologo Scratch M5 saddle completes the contact points, providing a performance-oriented seating platform for road cycling.
