Overview of components
Fork material

Wheels
The REACTO TEAM-E 2016 bike is equipped with 700c carbon wheels when leaving the factory. These wheels are the most used kind for road bikes in general. However, these wheels don’t perform so well when passing over obstacles.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Merida REACTO TEAM-E has Rim brakes installed. Rim brakes are cheaper than hydraulic brakes, and also easier to maintain. However, you could spend a little extra and get a bike that has hydraulic brakes.
