Merida Road Race Aero Bike | Reacto 6000

REACTO 6000
Highly praised by the cycling press and a fantastic bike to find your racing legs with. The 6000 perfectly combines the race geometry featuring a lightweight CF3 frame with a proven Ultegra groupset and fast-rolling Fulcrum wheelset. 

Bikeradar gave the REACTO 6000 a 4.5 out of 5 stars rating and called it a fast aero road bike with impressively confident handling characteristics. Impressive feedback on our new mid-level aero bike and just a confirmation that we got the balance between aerodynamic, weight, frame stiffness, comfort, and geometry just right. The 6000 combines the lightweight CF3 carbon frame with an Ultegra groupset, Fulcrum wheels, and an FSA/MERIDA cockpit combination. Newly launched in 2021, the latest version of the REACTO took the cycling press by storm. A long string of test wins, perfect scores, and awards confirm our successful symbiosis of the race-proven DNA of the previous model with the latest trends and technologies. Cycling Weekly calls it 'without doubt one of the most complete bikes available on the market, Cyclingnews 'an utterly brilliant and faultless machine' and Cycling Plus was 'hugely impressed. From serious racer via enthusiast to the ambitious road rider, the REACTO is a great bike for many people. Its outstanding aerodynamic performance, reduced weight, sharp handling, and super quick acceleration make it the perfect bike for criterium racers and sprinters. At the same time, the class-leading comfort gives it the ability to play out its aerodynamic advantage also on the cobblestones – or the idyllic but potholed littered lanes of your favorite training ride.

Technologies

X-Taper Headtube
Our X-Tapered headtube offers the space for a tapered fork to be fitted. Tapered forks offer superb stiffness and precision and deliver confidence-inspiring steering.

Internal Cable Routing
Cables are routed through the frame, entering and exiting through smooth sockets. The bike looks neat, whilst the cables are protected from moisture and dirt.

Nano Matrix Carbon
To protect the integrity of carbon frames, the fibers are bonded together with an epoxy resin with added nano particles, increasing impact resistance by up to 40%.

AWS
When creating the individual carbon elements, an inflatable bladder is used to ensure there are no wrinkles inside the tube as these can add weight and create weakness. This results in a lighter, stiffer and stronger frame.

Naca Fastback Profile
The aerodynamics are based around a NACA0028 teardrop profile (National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics) which is truncated. Air moves around the tube as though the missing rear section of the teardrop were still there, saving weight by using less material.

Disc Cooler
A forged aluminum component under the front and/or rear caliper allows heat to dissipate through CNC-milled cooling fins. Tests show that temperatures are reduced by around 35 % and cooling times are shortened, optimizing the performance of the brake.

Internal Clamp
Designing WorldTour bikes is similar to Formula 1: apparently nondescript details can result in saving split seconds. Integrated seat-post clamping minimizes turbulence at the top tube.

Wire Port
MERIDA designed headsets that allow all control cables to enter the frame through the headset, creating a clean and uncluttered look, without making structural changes to the frame. Depending on the model, the cables are run completely internally (including bar and stem) or semi-integrated where the cables enter the frame underneath the stem.
