It's cutting edge frame features like our WIRE PORT cable integration for a clean look and outstanding aerodynamics and our DISC COOLER technology for reliable braking performance even on the longest of descents that give our REACTO 8000 the edge. Combined with the beautifully crafted CF3 carbon frame, the 8000 impresses with remarkable acceleration and power transfer, low weight, impressive aerodynamics, perfect cable integration and outstanding aero bike comfort.
Unadulterated aero road speed. The latest version of the REACTO took the cycling press by storm. A long string of test wins, perfect scores and awards confirm our successful symbiosis of the race-proven DNA of the previous model with the latest trends and technologies. Cycling Weekly calls it 'without doubt one of the most complete bikes available on the market', Cyclingnews 'an utterly brilliant and faultless machine' and Cycling Plus were 'hugely impressed'. From serious racer via enthusiast to the ambitious road rider, the REACTO is a great bike for many people. Its outstanding aerodynamic performance, reduced weight, sharp handling and super quick acceleration makes it the perfect bike for criterium racers and sprinters. At the same time, the class-leading comfort gives it the ability to play out its aerodynamic advantage also on the cobblestones – or the idyllic but potholed littered lanes of your favourite training ride.
