Three years on from the Reacto II, Merida has launched the Reacto III. The 2018 model is said to have improved upon the previous model's comfort, weight and aerodynamics. We'd expect no less.
The claimed aerodynamic improvement is five percent, or 8 watts, at 45km/h. The major drag-reducing factors are slimmer tubes all round, a lowered seat stay/seat tube junction and an integrated cockpit.

Merida describes the aero benefit as follows: "If you do a 100km solo ride on the new Reacto, you'll save as much energy as riding the same route on a round-tubed road bike, but drafting for 30km of the distance."
Ride comfort has been increased thanks to new slimmer seatstays, and the narrower width plus larger silicone rubber-filled window of the S-Flex seatpost is said to bring around a 10 percent improvement over the old model.
