2026 Merida Scultura 8000 – Lightweight, Agile, WorldTour Proven
The 2026 Merida Scultura 8000 in Metallic Black is a premium road bike designed for riders who demand a perfect balance of lightness, climbing agility, and aerodynamic efficiency. Built on the CF3 carbon frame (approx. 997g in size M) with a full carbon tapered fork, this bike carries WorldTour geometry and race-proven pedigree – a true all-rounder that’s as fast uphill as it is on the flats.
Equipped with Shimano Ultegra Di2 2x12 electronic transmission, the Scultura 8000 delivers crisp, reliable shifting and a wide gear range for any terrain. Ultegra hydraulic disc brakes with Merida’s Disc Cooler technology provide powerful, fade-free stopping performance even on long alpine descents.
The build features the Reynolds AR46 DB carbon wheelset, tubeless-ready and fitted with Continental Grand Prix 5000S TR 28c tyres for speed, grip, and all-day comfort. The Merida Team SL one-piece carbon cockpit offers integration, stiffness, and clean aerodynamics, while the S-Flex carbon seatpost smooths out road vibrations to keep you fresh for the final sprint or climb.
Praised by the press as “class-leading in climbing and compliance,” the Scultura remains Merida’s ultimate all-rounder, capable of stage-winning performance and everyday endurance.
