Scultura - Race
Merida
If you thought it couldn’t be done, then meet the bike that will prove you wrong; the Scultura V. Building on the unquestioned heritage of our lightweight road bike range, we’ve drastically reduced drag, boosted the comfort to new levels and all while shaving off precious grams to deliver a versatile, World Tour proven, race-winning weapon. Since its introduction into the Merida road line-up, the Scultura has embodied lightweight race pedigree. It’s been the go-to bike when outstanding climbing ability was at the top of the agenda while its aero counterpart, the Reacto, has class-leading aerodynamics and pure efficiency covered. The fifth edition of our Scultura has taken what we’ve learned from our test and award-winning Reacto to improve its aero credentials while building on the already impressive comfort.
Our latest SCULTURA is very much aimed at riders and racers who are looking for a lightweight climbing bike with outstanding comfort and impressive aero credentials. With multiple World Tour stage wins under its belt, the results clearly show the SCULTURA’s ability to deliver at the sharp end of the sport. It’s also the perfect partner for ambitious club riders who are looking for the perfect all-rounder with outstanding compliance for their pothole littered training rides. Last but not least, the final rider grouping that will benefit from the SCULTURA are sportive/gran fondo enthusiasts who don’t shy away from a race-proven and more aggressive geometry.
RACE PROVEN BY OUR WORLD TOUR TEAM BAHRAIN-VICTORIOUS
The impressive improvements in comfort, aerodynamics and weight showed some outstanding early results in the World Tour underneath Team Bahrain-Victorious, winning an impressive four stages before the bike was even released. And while these wins were an impeccable proof that this bike had winning genes, right from the start, its success story is still ongoing.
DISC COOLER
Our latest generation disc coolers, as fitted to the SCULTURA CF5 and CF3 framed models, are further integrated into the frame and fork to minimise aerodynamic drag while reducing the risk of the disc brakes overheating on long and demanding descents. The forged aluminium part under the front and rear disc brake calliper draw heat away through CNC-milled cooling fins, giving 35% less heat build-up and faster temperature reduction for stable braking performance. The latest version features improved access to the bleeding port of the new Shimano 12-speed Flat Mount disc brakes.
