Merida Reacto 8000 (Slate Grey/Black Grey)
4711256530499
A near-flagship carbon aero road bike for riders who want Shimano Ultegra Di2 wireless shifting and genuine Reynolds carbon wheels, without the top-tier price.
Overview
Sharing the same aerodynamics and frame stiffness as Merida's top-of-the-line CF5 frame, the Reacto 8000's CF3 frame sacrifices only a minimal amount of weight — making it one of the most attractive Reacto builds in the lineup.
Shimano's proven Ultegra Di2 groupset delivers fast, precise electronic shifting, Shimano Ultegra hydraulic disc brakes bring race-level stopping power, and Reynolds AR60 carbon wheels ensure you slice through the air as efficiently as possible.
Whether it's low drag, low weight, or all-around performance you're after, the Reacto 8000 delivers near top-tier speed for a genuinely more accessible price.

A genuine step up from the 105-level Reacto models
Ultegra Di2 and Reynolds wheels put real distance between this build and the 105-equipped Reacto range.
Who Is It For?
The Reacto 8000 suits a serious racer or enthusiast who wants near-flagship aero performance and a genuine Ultegra Di2 groupset without stepping up to Merida's top-tier Reacto.
For Indian riders racing competitively or chasing the fastest possible times on long rides, the Reynolds carbon wheels and Ultegra Di2 shifting deliver a genuine step up over the 105-equipped Reacto models.
