2017 Merida Reacto 500

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.
