2026 Merida Reacto 9000 – Aero Perfection, Pro-Level Performance
The 2026 Merida Reacto 9000 is the pinnacle of aero road cycling – a bike that blends cutting-edge aerodynamics, superlight CF5 carbon engineering, and WorldTour-proven performance into one of the most complete aero bikes on the market.
At its heart is Merida’s CF5 pro-level carbon frameset (approx. 950g in size M), designed through Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and real-world testing to deliver unmatched speed and efficiency. From hidden disc coolers integrated behind the fork, to threaded-through axles with drag-reducing design, every detail is optimised to slice through the wind. At 45 km/h, the CF5 requires just 209 watts of rider input – pure aero efficiency.
Spec’d with Shimano Ultegra Di2 2x12 transmission, you’ll enjoy lightning-fast, flawless shifting across a wide range, while Ultegra hydraulic disc brakes with Merida’s Disc Cooler technology give fade-free stopping power even in demanding conditions. The Reynolds BL60 aero carbon wheelset with Continental GP5000S TR 28c tyres ensures stability, low rolling resistance, and tubeless-ready speed.
Up front, the Vision Metron 5D integrated carbon cockpit delivers stiffness, clean cable integration, and aerodynamic advantage, while the Merida S-Flex aero seatpost balances comfort with efficiency. Reviews speak for themselves: Cycling Weekly called it “without doubt one of the most complete bikes available,” Cyclingnews hailed it as “utterly brilliant,” and Cycling Plus were “hugely impressed.”
This is a pro-level aero machine for riders who demand uncompromising speed, precision, and comfort.
