  • Is Merida Reacto one of the best aero road bikes on the market? Is it fast? Should you consider fetting one? Enjoy watching this episode, as I answer all these questions in it :)

    Excellent review.
    I have the 2017 Reacto 7000E which is pretty much the same model as this. Its a great ride and comfortable even over 100km. Thankfully my ride doesn't have the loose cabling which on your reviewed bike is a big oversight.

    Have the 5000 (2019) it's been a great bike for eating up the miles on long rides.
    My only complaint is the spaghetti cable routing. Also wish they offered more colour options instead of just changing it every year.

    reacto is awesome i ride it 18000kms and so many elevations.
    uphill flat road or even 400ks long ride no problem at all the main downside is the rear brake position.
    btw my reacto is aluminum reacto honor a special edition

    Hey, nice video :)
    I've been looking at a reacto 5000 2018, what do you guys think about that one? Seems like a solid bike.
    Using a trek 1.1 atm. I'm not racing. Mostly traning leizure rides. Loving the idea of a stiff aerobike :)

    @giladreuveni4777 6 лет назад

    can you recommend adding deep section wheeles to this frame? I am thinking, however about the reacto disc version, so a set of 60 mm deep wheeles should be nice. any way, great review.

    Hey SickBiker, is it possible to adjust the flappiness (sensitivity) of 105 shifter levers? the more gears you engage the flappier it gets to engage the next gear. can that be made shorter? thanks.

    Hey guys, my local bike shop has told me the Reacto give a very very hard ride and that it isnt a good bike, I'm choosing between the Reacto 5000 or Scultura 5000, but I like the look of the reacto better. Is the ride on the reacto as bad as they say it is?

    • @aponcapone
      @aponcapone 5 лет назад +1

      I ride the Reacto 400 with my own saddle and other tires. I find it comfortable enough for a few hours.

    Do you think that I should spend about 1000€ more on my new mtb to get Shimano XT brakes and Kashima Coating or save a lot of money and go for Fox performance suspension and SLX brakes, I'm not a very rich guy

    Hi,
    It seems like you enjoy cycling just as much as we do! We would be happy to send you a sample of WingLights.
    It’s a great and unique product that attach magnetically to the handlebar and close in an aluminum keyring when removed, you can find more info on our website: www.cycl.bike
    Let us know if you are interested,
    Best Wishes,
