Merida Reacto 6000 – Passion Red (2027)

Engineered to cut through the wind, the Reacto 6000 2027 in the striking Passion Red colorway is the ideal choice for riders seeking an aerodynamic "all-rounder" capable of excelling on flat breakaway efforts as well as explosive climbs, thanks to class-leading lateral stiffness and a low overall weight.

The latest generation of the REACTO builds on its legendary predecessor, introducing key updates that further improve aerodynamics, reduce frame weight, and provide tire clearance up to 32 mm, all while maintaining the comfort and control for which the REACTO is world-renowned.

• 2027 Passion Red Livery: Eye-catching, dynamic race-red finish with high-gloss coat and contrasting accents

• Integrated Team SL Cockpit: New Merida Team SL 1P one-piece carbon cockpit completely conceals routing cables to reduce front end turbulence

• Wind Tunnel Developed: Over 4 years of refinement, CFD analysis, and extensive testing supported by the Zedler Institute

• Increased Tire Clearance: Compatible with up to 700x32C tires for an optimal balance of speed, traction, and ride comfort

• Disc Cooler & S-Flex Technology: Heat dissipation fins on brake calipers combined with an aero carbon seatpost featuring an integrated dampening insert

📖 DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Development & Innovation: Four Years of Refinement

The REACTO V was completely redesigned through a development process that began in May 2022. During this period, numerous tube profile variations were calculated and tested using CFD analysis to achieve optimal aerodynamic harmony and the perfect stiffness-to-weight balance.

A total of four extensive wind tunnel sessions were conducted to validate simulation results, while the renowned Zedler Institute supported testing in Merida's internal laboratory. This rigorous process yielded an incredibly fast, lightweight, and technically superior frame.

Tested Beyond Industry Standards

While speed is the ultimate goal, Merida makes no compromises on durability. Despite an extremely competitive frame and fork weight, the REACTO is tested according to the Zedler Road Advanced+ standard—one of the most demanding in the cycling industry. This protocol simulates loads exceeding standard ISO requirements and allows for a maximum system weight of 120 kg (bike + rider), ensuring a stable and secure ride for both professional sprinters and endurance riders.

Advanced Aerodynamic Features

• Team SL Full Integration: The new Merida Team SL 1P one-piece carbon cockpit fully routes cables internally, reducing front-end drag and delivering a clean aesthetic.

• NACA Fastback Profile: Frame tubing utilizes truncated teardrop aerodynamic profiles (NACA0028) to minimize drag and improve stability in crosswinds.

• S-Flex Technology: The aerodynamic seatpost features an elastomeric window insert that absorbs road vibrations, delivering exceptional comfort for a pure aero bike.

• Disc Cooler: Heat dissipation technology for the brake calipers, essential for maintaining maximum braking performance during high-speed descents.

🚚 BICYCLE SHIPPING & PRE-ASSEMBLY CONDITIONS

All bicycles purchased from CicloBottega are thoroughly inspected and pre-assembled by our mechanics prior to shipment. However, due to courier packaging constraints and transit safety, certain components (typically the handlebar, front wheel, and saddle) are detached for transport.

Please Note: Despite pre-assembly, mechanical vibrations during transit may cause minor misalignments. Cable tensions or hydraulic brake caliper pistons may require slight adjustments upon unboxing.

To ensure safety and preserve warranty coverage, the bicycle must not be considered ride-ready upon delivery. It is the buyer's responsibility to have the assembly verified and completed by a qualified bicycle mechanic before road use. CicloBottega disclaims all liability for personal injury or property damage resulting from improper assembly or lack of professional inspection prior to riding.

🛡️ WARRANTY & SHIPPING

• Warranty: Lifetime frame warranty (upon registration on the official Merida website) and 2 years on components.

• Shipping: Dispatched via specialized courier within 24/48 hours.

❓ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
