Merida Scultura 7000 Road Bike 2023 Purple

The Merida Scultura 7000 Road Bike now incorporates learnings from the Reacto in terms of aerodynamics; they now share the same race proven geometry.Improving weight, comfort and aerodynamics requires plenty of engineering ingenuity. Round tubes are lighter than aero profiled tubes, fatter tyres are more comfortable but less aerodynamic. There are always compromises to be made.The new Scultura is the most aerodynamic ever and shows outstanding compliance, providing class-leading rider comfort. The marketing blurb suggests this helps keep the body fresh for the final sprint or ascent. A couple of mountain top, grand tour stage victories underline that point quite well!Merida Scultura 7000 Road Bike HighlightsLightweight CF3 Carbon frame and forkSRAM Rival 2 x 12 eTAP AXS wireless transmissionSRAM Rival hydraulic disc brakesMerida Team SL45 carbon wheelsetContinental GP5000 28c tyresDisc Cooler Technology
