Matthew Loveridge
VERDICT: Merida's most affordable aero bike retains the pro machine's best qualities
Matthew Loveridge
Putting the £1,999 / $2,200 Giant TCR Advanced 2 and £2,250 Merida Reacto 4000 head-to-head.
Without doubt one of the most complete bikes available on the market. Speed, comfort, handling and style are all second to none within the aero-bike category. If you want to win races or just be the fastest out of your mates, this is the bike to get.
- Translates every watt into forward momentum
- Razor sharp handling
- Impressive comfort for an aero bike
- Seat clamp rubber cap keeps sliding up the seatpost
Stu Kerton
Not the lightest or most comfortable, but if speed is your main goal then the Reacto delivers

The Merida Reacto 2021 rolls out just in time for the restart of the WorldTour in its fourth generation. A further refined aerodynamics and more tire clearance is intended to make the Aero-Allrounder more competitive. Here's the info.
Jan Gathmann
"Those who want to live up to the look and speed craving of the Merida Reacto Team-E, need to squeeze out a few watts from their legs. The competition road bike makes you feel like going fast is even easier than comparable aero-allrounders. Many small details..."
- Aerodynamics provide a noticeable speed advantage
- Powerful acceleration and high steering precision
- Lightweight for a competition road bike
- Responsive steering
- Excellent comfort impression
- Competition geometry for an aerodynamic riding position
- Good detailing on the frame
- Wheels do not quite keep up with the price and performance of the bike
- Handlebars with few grip positions
- Increased susceptibility to crosswinds requires skill in handling the bike
