With its outstanding aerodynamics and ability to reach the UCI weight limit, Reacto<\/a><\/strong> delivers higher performance, greater speed and a more efficient ride than a classic road bike which often focuses solely on weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Streamlined Cockpit<\/strong>

Reacto makes full use of the UCI\u2019s profile boundaries. The new Team CW cockpit leads the way in terms of aero, contributing 50% of the overall improvement compared to the previous version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
