Merida Reacto 5000 2015 - Road Bike
Weight - 8.94kg (ML frame, no pedals)
The Merida Reacto 5000 is designed to get you riding fast...very fast. Every Part of the frame and componentry is designed to get you slicing through the air with minimal drag to save every watt of power and get an edge over the competition.
Available through 0% Tredz Finance.
Frame & Fork
At the heart of this aero bike is a carbon composite frame which is very light, stiff and strong. To add comfort into the frame Merida weave layers of Flax fibres at key areas. These fibres have natural vibration dampening properties.
Another technology called NANO MATRIX carbon improves the impact resistance of the frame 40% by adding nanoparticles to the epoxy resin and carbon fibres.
To help the Reacto slice through the air the tubes have the appearance of a chopped off teardrop. This is called NACA FASTBACK. Essentially the air moves around the tubes of the frame just as if the missing sections were there - but now the frame is lighter to help you accelerate much faster.
Every part of the frame is carbon, even down to small features like the dropouts - when weight is so important, it's necessary to do this.
As you'd expect the fork is fully carbon too. But, more interestingly it comes with double chamber technology making the fork more laterally rigid for steering but with some flex for comfort.
Components
The spec is just as impressive on the Reacto 5000. Shimano Ultegra gears and shifters provide crisp and efficient performance...all the time, and they are designed for performance. Shimano 105 direct mount brakes provide effective stopping power too.
All cables are internally routed to keep the visuals looking slick, but also to provide that little extra aero advantage.
An S-FLEX carbon seatpost helps to reduce muscle fatigue thanks to vibration dampening properties. The saddle on top features a Flip Flop head allowing you to get the best possible position on the bike for maximum aero performance.
Rounding off the package is Merida's own Super Aero 38mm rims wrapped in Continental Grand Sport Race tyres. The set-up is high quality and designed for fast racing and cutting through the wind.
For serious riders wanting aero performance, this is the machine for you.
