Features:
- CF5 Carbon Frame (822g): The lightest and most advanced frame in Merida’s road lineup, designed for both aerodynamics and compliance, ensuring that you can push hard without sacrificing comfort.
- SRAM Red eTap AXS 12-speed wireless groupset: This cutting-edge drivetrain delivers crisp, precise shifting and includes an integrated power meter, giving you accurate data to track your performance.
- Zipp 353 NSW Wheelset: These high-performance tubeless wheels with a 25mm inner width and centerlock disc brakes offer incredible aerodynamics, stability, and speed, paired with Continental Grand Prix 5000S TR 28mm tyres for outstanding grip and rolling efficiency.
- MERIDA S-FLEX Carbon Seatpost & DISC COOLER Technology: The S-FLEX post enhances comfort by absorbing road vibrations, while the integrated DISC COOLER helps to dissipate heat from the brakes, maintaining consistent stopping power on long descents.
- MERIDA TEAM SL 1P one-piece cockpit: This fully integrated handlebar and stem combination offers both aerodynamic advantages and a clean aesthetic, helping to reduce drag.
- Unmatched Performance:The Scultura 10K is designed for serious racers and competitive riders.
Its race-proven geometry—shared with Merida's REACTO model—combines excellent aerodynamics with lightweight construction and optimal stiffness for fast accelerations and precise handling.
The bike’s fifth-generation frame has been fine-tuned to ensure it delivers outstanding comfort while keeping you fresh for long rides or final sprints.
- Merida’s integration of aero detailing from their REACTO model has made this version of the Scultura the most aerodynamic in its history.
Despite being designed as a pure road racer, it retains the agility and rider comfort that has always defined the Scultura, making it a versatile bike that excels in sprints, climbs, and long-distance efforts alike.
- Race-Proven Success:The Scultura 10K has already proven its race pedigree, with Team Bahrain Victorious using the bike to claim mountain-top stage victories in prestigious events like the Tour de France and the Vuelta a España before it was even officially launched.
This real-world testing ensures that the bike performs at the highest level, offering riders an unbeatable combination of low weight, aerodynamics, and rider comfort.
