2026 Merida Scultura 4000 – Lightweight Performance Meets Everyday Race DNA
The 2026 Merida Scultura 4000 brings pro-level pedigree to riders looking for their first performance carbon road bike. Built around Merida’s lightweight CF3 carbon frameset (approx. 997g in size M) with a full carbon tapered fork, the Scultura 4000 delivers the perfect balance of speed, comfort, and agility – the all-rounder that shines on climbs, sprints, and long days in the saddle.
Trickle-down technology from the WorldTour stage makes this bike special. Its fifth-generation frame design shares aerodynamic shaping cues from the award-winning Reacto, improving speed and efficiency while retaining the Scultura’s renowned compliance and climbing ability. In fact, the Scultura platform has already proven itself by winning Grand Tour stages before its official launch – so you know you’re riding a bike with genuine racing DNA.
Equipped with the latest Shimano 105 12-speed mechanical groupset (2x12) including chainset, cassette, and hydraulic disc brakes with Merida’s Disc Cooler Technology, you’ll enjoy smooth, precise shifting and powerful, fade-free braking on every ride. Rolling on Continental Grand Prix 28c tyres, matched to Merida’s Expert SL aluminium wheels, the Scultura 4000 grips confidently and rides fast on everything from club runs to gran fondos. A carbon seat post and Merida’s integrated cockpit complete the package for a premium feel.
If you’re ready to step into the world of performance road cycling, the Scultura 4000 offers lightweight carbon, proven geometry, and class-leading components at unbeatable value.
