⚡ CF3 Performance. CF5 Aero DNA. Smarter Price.

The 2027 Reacto 8000 delivers the same air-slicing performance and frame stiffness figures as the flagship CF5 models — but in Merida’s lightweight CF3 carbon construction (~1,185g size M) to create a more price-competitive package.

That means you get:

• Identical aero efficiency

• Identical stiffness numbers

• Minimal weight concession

• Serious value

Fast, aggressive and refined — this is one of the most attractive performance packages in the 2027 Reacto line-up.

The 2027 Merida Reacto 8000 in Slate Grey / Black pairs the lightweight CF3 aero carbon frame with Shimano Ultegra Di2, Reynolds AR 60 carbon wheels and Vision Metron 5D ACR EVO cockpit. Identical aero performance to CF5 models at a more accessible price point.
