Slice through the wind. The Merida Reacto 500 is an aero road bike for rapid cycling over any distance.
With its aerodynamically profiled tubes, one piece seatube and a proper race riding position the triple butted 6066 aluminium frame offers a real aero advantage. The oversized bottom bracket adds lateral stiffness for efficient power transfer when you put the hammer down. All this is achieved in a lightweight package that offers real comfort for long days in the saddle. The full carbon race fork offers precise steering as well as absorbing road buzz for a smooth ride.
Offering super-slick shifting is the Shimano Ultegra 2x11 speed drivetrain. Combined with an FSA Gossamer Pro semi-compact chainset you can really get up to speed. 25mm tyres offer improved cornering grip as well as offering a smoother ride.
Cycle faster with less drag on the Merida Reacto 500.
