Picked up a 2025 model Reacto 9000 just before Xmas. Im not sure why I stuck with riding an old Cadd12 for so long. New bikes are way faster. Merida's pricing is insane value for money at the moment.
Nice! 8)
Photos please. :)

The lettering is a bit like the old hollowgram basketball cards but it only goes from the purple colour to a bit like orange in real bright light.

Very nice! 8)
M/L?
Mine came with 25mm gp5k str with tubes in.
Made it tubeless and 30mm r and 28mm f on those wheels. More comfy and just as fast.
Narrower bars too.

There is no M/L on Merida sizing anymore. It's a M. Lovely bike.

Small. I haven't bought a new roadie in nearly ten years and have always been on a 54 or something very close. Was surprised when I added up all the measurements and come up with a small. Was pretty much just put a PM on and ride as it came which seemed better than ordering parts and building something up.

I looked at mine and compared head tube lengths. I was way off :lol:
Looks great, enjoy. :)
