2017 Fuji SL 1.1 vs 2019 Merida REACTO

The XL is the Merida REACTO size closest to your 61 Fuji SL 1.1. We match frame stack and reach. This is a geometry comparison, not a fit recommendation; stem, spacers, handlebars and saddle setup also affect your riding position.

What changes on the Merida REACTO

Compared with the Fuji SL 1.1 in 61, the Merida REACTO in XL places the top of the head tube 18 mm higher and 15 mm further back, relative to the bottom bracket. Its wheelbase is 9 mm shorter, which can contribute to quicker direction changes.
