In this video I will be reviewing the all new 2021 Merida Reacto, with Shimano Ultegra Di2 and Reynolds ar58 disc carbon wheels. This Merida model is actually the 8000-E, and the team edition frame set here is Australia, right now, is only coming as a frame set. Word on the street is that a top end model will be available shortly in the market, which will include a power meter for just under $12,000 AUD. In this review I will focus on weight, price, aesthetics, riding experience and the overall package.
