2026 Merida Reacto 8000 – Rainbow Speed, Proven Aero Performance
The 2026 Merida Reacto 8000 in the striking Rainbow/Gunmetal Grey (Silver) finish delivers WorldTour-inspired aerodynamics with outstanding value. Built on Merida’s CF3 carbon aero frameset (approx. 1,150g in size M), it shares the same geometry and aerodynamic profiling as the flagship CF5 frame, giving you pro-level speed without the premium price tag.
Fitted with Shimano Ultegra Di2 2x12 electronic transmission, the Reacto 8000 offers precise, lightning-fast gear changes every time. The Reynolds AR60 carbon aero wheelset, wrapped in Continental GP5000S TR 28c tubeless tyres, adds world-class rolling performance, stability, and grip for both racing and fast training.
Up front, the Vision Metron 5D ACR EVO integrated carbon cockpit combines stiffness, control, and full cable integration, while the Merida S-Flex aero seatpost delivers extra comfort without sacrificing aero efficiency.
Equipped with Shimano Ultegra hydraulic disc brakes, enhanced by Merida’s Disc Cooler technology to reduce heat build-up by up to 35%, the Reacto 8000 ensures confident descending and consistent stopping.
Cycling Weekly praised the Reacto as “one of the most complete bikes available,” while Cyclingnews called it “utterly brilliant and faultless.” The Reacto 8000 is the perfect choice for riders chasing speed, efficiency, and value.
