A trustworthy partner for testing club outings or the introduction to road racing. For pleasant road miles, choose an aluminium road bike with tried-and-true geometry that is less aggressive than the new carbon top-end frames. For increased steering control and shock absorption, the full carbon tapered fork is mounted on our triple-butted aluminium frame. The dependable Shimano groupset provides the precise and fluid shifting, while the potent hydraulic disc brakes deliver exceptional modulation and stopping force. The CF2 and aluminium SCULTURA versions keep their slightly more relaxed geometry rather than the more aggressive and race-proven geometry of the CF5 and CF3 variants. Merida provides strong, simple-to-modulate disc brakes that provide consistent braking power even in damp circumstances, or the more expensive rim brake alternative. Our CF2 and aluminum models are excellent for riders just starting out in the sport as well as for those who prefer a little more upright position when hitting the lanes due to the less aggressive design. MERIDA SCULTURA 400 Review The Merida Scultura has a powerful punch thanks to its combination of the Reacto's aerodynamic prowess with the smaller weight and shorter wheelbase of seasoned climbing bikes. The end result is a road bike that is agile and incredibly speedy, ready to climb, descend, or simply roll through flat stretches. For novice riders wishing to upgrade their existing bike, the Scultura 400 model is ideal. It has the perennially well-liked 2 x 11-speed Shimano 105 groupset, which provides accurate and dependable shifting with superb control for a smooth and effective road performance. No matter the weather, the terrain, or your level of weariness, the conventional 50-34T crankset and optimised 11-30T 11-speed cassette will guarantee that you have the ideal combination of climbing efficiency and flat-line speed, allowing you to maintain 90RPM at all times. Merida has chosen to add Shimano 105 hydraulic disc brakes for improved power, modulation, and feedback in order to increase performance in all weather conditions and over lengthy descents. If you're serious about riding in all weather situations or crushing the descents, you need your brakes to always support you. The Scultura 400 actually reacts to all input, allowing you to become one with your bike and truly achieve riding nirvana. The smooth and robust 700 x 25c Maxxis Pursuer tyres have been designed to give you raw speed and durability while minimizing rolling resistance. The Merida Comp SL Rims' tubeless compatibility ensures that minor punctures won't keep you from finishing your journey. For novice riders who enjoy climbing, descending, and everything in between, the Merida Scultura 400 Road Bike is the perfect choice. Training rides or early commutes are no match for the Scultura 400's agile handling and optimised running gear. Along with cutting-edge technology, Merida has added extra safety features to inspire confidence and enable you to reach your full riding potential.
