Merida REACTO 5000

The Merida REACTO 5000 is an aero road bike designed for riders who want real performance gains on their regular routes. The REACTO CF3 V carbon frame and matching carbon fork provide a stiff, lightweight foundation, while fully internal cable routing — via Merida's Wire Port Smart Entry system — keeps the lines clean and protects the cables from the elements. A maximum tyre clearance of 700×32C means you're not limited to fast race roads.

The Shimano 105 Di2 electronic groupset (2×12-speed) removes the guesswork from gear shifting. A light button press triggers an instant, precise shift — no matter how hard you're pushing. The Shimano 105 R7101 cassette (11-34T) covers a wide range of ratios, making the bike equally comfortable on flat roads and punchy climbs.

Braking is handled by Shimano 105 hydraulic disc brakes with 160 mm Shimano RT64 rotors front and rear. Merida's Disc Cooler technology — CNC-machined aluminium fins on the hubs — reduces disc temperature by up to 35%, helping maintain consistent braking performance on long descents or back-to-back efforts.

The Vision Team 35 Clincher Disc wheelset (35 mm aluminium, Tubeless Ready) paired with Continental Grand Prix TR 700×28C Tubeless Ready tyres strikes a well-judged balance between aerodynamic efficiency, ride comfort and low rolling resistance. Available in six sizes (XXS to XL) in the Halo Green (Slate Grey) colourway, the REACTO 5000 adapts to a wide range of rider builds.
