Reacto 5000 2027

Pure aero performance meets everyday usability. The Merida Reacto 5000 2027 is a high-speed carbon aero road bike designed for riders who want race-winning performance without the pro-level price tag. Built around Merida’s latest CF3 carbon aero frame, paired with Shimano 105 Di2 electronic shifting, the Reacto 5000 delivers exceptional speed, efficiency, and value.

Engineered with trickle-down technology from Merida’s WorldTour race bikes, the latest Reacto is more aerodynamic, lighter, and more versatile than ever, now with clearance for up to 32mm tyres. That means faster rolling, improved comfort, and more confidence on real-world UK roads.

Whether you're racing, training, or pushing the pace on fast group rides, the Reacto 5000 blends aero gains, responsive handling, and all-day ride quality.
