Merida Reacto 400 2018 - Road Bike
Bringing 'aero to the masses' is Merida's tagline for the new Reacto aluminium models including the Reacto 400. The Reacto carbon range has been very successful over the last few years. Team Lampre-Merida almost entirely rely on the Reacto (Team-E) for their races. So to cater for more budgets, Merida have opened up the range with an exceptional aluminium frame.
The Reacto 400 features a 6066 triple butted aluminium frame. 6066 refers to the specific alloy used, which incidentally is the highest grade aluminium used in bike manufacture. It is very light and stiff, so you can get up to speed quickly. On the flats you'll feel what true road race speed means.
Up front there is a full carbon fork (including a tapered steerer) which serves to reduce weight, but also massively improve front end stiffness. You also get precision turning for more confident handling.
Merida also haven't fallen short on spec either. The 400 aero road racer comes with Shimano 105 groupset and FSA Gossamer 52-36 chainset for high performance, reliability and durability. At just £150 more than the entry level Reacto 300, the jump from Tiagra to 105 is great.
Whether you're a hobbyist, enthusiast or novice looking to get into serious road racing then Reacto 400 is a great option. As aluminium frames come, this is one of the best and you can get up to incredible speeds and slice through the air for a true aero fee.
