REACTO 9000

 

road.cc recently reviewed the Reacto 9000, awarding it an excellent four-star rating and remarking, “One word: fast. That's the only way to describe the way the Reacto rides.”

Although the Reacto is designed as our dedicated aero road race bike, the tester was impressed by its versatility, noting that it “feels as urgent on the climbs as it does on the flats” and that it is “comfortable to ride and live with every day.”

Built around our premium CF5 frame, the Reacto 9000 features top-tier components and benefits from our World Tour-proven race geometry. The reviewer highlighted: “It's fast in a straight line, changes direction with precision, and does a pretty damn good job of overcoming gravity. It's a superb all-rounder.”

Comfort was another strong point, with road.cc commenting: “The dropped seatstays, along with the lay-up in the headtube and fork, all help to reduce road chatter and harsh vibrations.”

In conclusion, they summarised that the Reacto “makes a compelling case as a dedicated race bike when you look at its weight and the way it performs out on the road” and that it is “still a fast and planted aero road bike that is able to compete with the best in the category.”
