π Stand Out. Go Fast. Pay Smart.
The 2027 Reacto 8000 in Rainbow Purple / Black brings serious aero performance with a colourway that refuses to blend in.
Built around the lightweight CF3 carbon aero frame (~1,185g size M) and equipped with Shimano Ultegra Di2 and Reynolds AR 60 carbon wheels, this model delivers identical aero performance and stiffness values to the CF5 platform β with only a small weight difference to create a more accessible price point.
Big performance. Bold finish. Intelligent value.
The 2027 Merida Reacto 8000 in Rainbow Purple / Black combines the lightweight CF3 aero frame with Shimano Ultegra Di2, Reynolds AR 60 carbon wheels and Vision Metron 5D ACR EVO cockpit. Identical aero performance to CF5 models with standout looks and exceptional value.

π CF3 vs CF5 β The Smart Performance Choice
The latest Reacto generation improves:
-
Aerodynamic efficiency
-
Overall ride comfort
-
Tyre clearance (up to 32mm)
-
Stability in crosswinds
The CF3 frame shares the exact same aerodynamic shaping and stiffness numbers as the CF5 flagship models.
