Aero Speed Meets Everyday Value
The Merida REACTO 5000 is built for riders who want world-class aerodynamics, lightning-fast acceleration, and race-proven performance—all at an outstanding value. Closely modeled on the much-loved REACTO 6000, this model keeps the same CF3 full carbon aero frame but comes with a more budget-friendly Vision Team 35 wheelset, delivering pro-level speed at an accessible price.
With Shimano’s 105 Di2 12-speed electronic groupset, the REACTO 5000 ensures precise shifting and efficient power transfer, whether you’re sprinting, climbing, or attacking on flat terrain. Combined with Merida’s S-FLEX seat post technology, it balances raw aero performance with ride-smoothing comfort, making it versatile enough for both criterium racing and long endurance rides.
