Thanks to incorporating selected aero details from Merida’s test and award-winning Reacto aero bike, the Scultura is the most aerodynamic version ever. Yet, it remains true to its lightweight, agility and rider comfort focus; in fact it takes these factors to the next level. The Scultura demonstrates outstanding compliance, providing the rider with class-leading riding comfort that will help to keep the body fresh for the final sprint or ascent. This classic road bike combines outstanding comfort with whippet-like acceleration and class-leading climbing pedigree.
The Scultura 4000 features the same race-proven geometry as Merida’s aero specialist, the Reacto, in a lightweight, comfort-focused CF3 full carbon frame and fork. Packed with class leading technology such as the X-taper headtube which significantly boost precision, the Di2 ready internal cable routing and the smart wire port cable housing which semi-integrates cables through the headset for a clean uncluttered look as well as a more aerodynamic frame structure. Equipped with the latest, super smooth Shimano 2 x 12-speed 105 groupset and matching hydraulic disc brakes. Rolling on durable Merida Expert CC rims with Shimano hubs and Continental Ultra Sport III 700 x 28c tyres for a perfect balance of fast rolling race speed and durability. With low weight and class-leading riding comfort the Scultura 4000 is the complete package.
