Merida Scultura 4000 Road Bicycle

Merida Scultura 4000 Road Bicycle

Introducing the Merida Scultura 4000 Road Bicycle, the perfect entry into our new Scultura frame family. Designed with the same race-proven geometry as our Reacto models and featuring a lightweight CF3 carbon frame, this bike offers an unbeatable combination of aerodynamic efficiency, comfort, and solid performance.

Uncompromising Performance: The Scultura 4000 is built around the reliable and smooth Shimano 105 11-speed groupset, ensuring precise shifting and efficient power transfer. With our new Scultura CF3 full carbon frame, this bike embodies the pinnacle of lightweight design, allowing for agile and responsive handling on every ride.

Aerodynamic Design, Enhanced Comfort: The 5th generation of our lightweight racer, the new Scultura, incorporates selected aero details from our award-winning Reacto aero bike. It is the most aerodynamic Scultura to date, while still maintaining its lightweight and comfortable characteristics. The frame's outstanding compliance provides class-leading riding comfort, keeping your body fresh for the final sprint or demanding climbs.

Race-Proven Geometry: The Scultura 4000 shares its geometry with our Reacto models, benefiting from the race-proven handling of Team Bahrain Victorious. With its low weight, exceptional agility, and rider-focused comfort, this bike offers an unrivaled riding experience. Available in both carbon and aluminum options, as well as disc brake or rim brake configurations, it combines outstanding comfort with impressive acceleration and climbing performance.

High-Quality Components: Experience the reliability and precision of the Shimano 105 11-speed groupset, delivering seamless gear changes and optimal performance. The FSA SMR ACR two-piece cockpit, Merida Expert SL handlebar, and Merida Expert SL wheelset ensure exceptional control and stability on any road surface. The Merida Expert CC carbon seat post and Disc Cooler technology enhance the bike's overall performance, providing a comfortable and efficient ride.

Ride in Style and Performance: The Merida Scultura 4000 Road Bicycle is the epitome of style, performance, and comfort. Embrace the lightweight CF3 carbon frame, race-proven geometry, and cutting-edge features that make this bike a true standout on the road. Push your limits, conquer new challenges, and enjoy every moment of your cycling journey with this exceptional road companion.

Technologies

Technologies of Merida Scultura 4000 Road Bicycle

X-Taper Headtube: Steering precision is vital to safe and confident handling, and the X-Taper Headtube allows us to significantly boost this precision. A larger headset diameter at the bottom paired with a smaller one at the top helps to deal with the strains modern riding and equipment can put on the headtube, all without adding unnecessary weight. It allows tapered forks to be fitted with ease and delivers precise and confidence-inspiring steering.

Internal Cable Routing: On the majority of our frames, we run the gear and brake cables and hoses through the frame. The cables enter and exit the frame through smooth sockets, or we use one of our other systems like Smart Entry or Wire Port to be routed through. Running the cables inside the frame protects them from the elements, gives a clean and neat look and can offer aerodynamic advantages.

DI2 Ready: Shimano's Di2 electronic shifting system offers fast, smooth and reliable shifting. In particular, in the road world, it has proven itself as the primary choice when top performance is at the top of the agenda. With that in mind, we have a broad selection of performance road frames that are Di2 READY and can accommodate the electrical cable, battery and other little tweaks that the system requires.

Nano Matrix Carbon: Nano Matrix Carbon is a special kind of carbon fibre where we add extremely tiny, nano-scale particles to the resin that binds the individual carbon fibres together. These then work on a molecular level to protect them from damage. It’s so effective that it can actually increase the finished carbon fibre’s impact resistance by up to 40%, allowing us to build stronger and lighter composite frames that result in a faster and tougher bike.

AWS Anti Wrinkle System: This is a method we use to manufacture our carbon fibre frames. First, the carbon fibre that makes up the frame is laid around special formers. We then use a bladder to compress the layers against the outside of the frame mould, giving a smooth and wrinkle-free internal finish, removing any voids in between the layers of carbon that can cause potential weak points, resulting in a stronger, lighter frame.

Naca Fastback Profile: This is a special kind of tube shape that helps reduce aerodynamic drag while also helping to reduce weight. It’s based around a teardrop profile that was originally developed in the aeronautical industry, but the rearmost portion of the profile is cut short. This reduces the amount of material needed to make the tube, but air still flows around it just as well, giving all the aerodynamic benefits but at a lower weight.

Disc Cooler: Used on our carbon fibre road and gravel bikes, DISC COOLER is a finned piece of forged aluminium that sits between the brake calliper and frame. The aluminium piece helps to draw heat from the braking system and radiates it away quickly. It reduces the temperatures by up to 35% and helps to keep your brakes working at their best for improved control and performance on long descents and under heavy braking.

Internal Clamp: When every second counts, the smallest of details can make the difference between winning and losing, so we look at every aspect of our frames to make them as sleek as possible. By using a seat post clamping mechanism that secures the post with a wedge inside the frame itself, we minimise the turbulence and potential drag while keeping post height adjustment simple, giving a frame that is more aerodynamic and also better looking.

Wire Port: MERIDA designed headsets that enable all control cables from the handlebar to enter the frame through the headset cover, creating a clean and uncluttered look, allowing for a lighter, stronger and more aerodynamic frame structure than with conventional cable ports. Depending on the model, the cables are run completely internally (including the bar and stem) or semi-integrated, where the cables enter the frame underneath the stem.
