With updated geometry for 2022, the Merida Scultura 9000 is the same class-leading road bike you know and love, but now with the most aerodynamic frame ever seen on a Scultura. Comfortable enough for challenging training miles, yet fast and lightweight with razor-sharp handling for race day, the CF5 carbon frame now boasts the same race-proven geometry as the Reacto range. With the vibration-dampening carbon frame and fork, the Black Label Reynolds rims, and the slick Continental GP 5000 TR tyres, the Scultura 9000 has you covered for any eventuality.

The Scultura 9000 features the all-new Shimano Ultegra Di2 drivetrain. As a result, you get Shimano's widest mid-range cassette to date, with the 52-36T crankset and new 11-30T 12-speed cassette meaning you'll always be able to find the optimal gear regardless of the gradient. As the latest iteration of the Shimano Di2 range, the Ultegra Di2 groupset provides the smoothest and quickest shifting action of any wireless groupset. Alongside the new Ultegra Di2 drivetrain, you receive the new Ultegra Hydraulic Disc Brakes that offer increased modulation and power for enhanced control and confidence on all gradients, terrains and weather conditions. Merida has equipped the Scultura 9000 with Reynolds Black Label Aero carbon rims, offering the aerodynamic benefit of 65mm walls, without a significant weight penalty. The improved tyre clearance of the latest generation Scultura Fork means 700 x 28c Continental GP5000 tyres have been provided for an efficient, smooth-rolling ride. Finally, thanks to Merida's nifty decision to use the Ultegra Di2 drivetrain alongside their proprietary One-Piece Cockpit not only saves precious grams but also has the added bonus of an aesthetically pleasing clean cockpit design.

The Merida Scultura 9000 is a class-leading model optimised for climbing, descending, cornering and everything in between. This is all thanks to its class-leading compliance and aerodynamic efficiency which make climbing a breeze while retaining razor-sharp handling. The lightweight Merida Team SL one-piece cockpit only serves to optimise vibration dampening without compromising handling and the Reynolds Black Label Aero wheels give you an aerodynamic edge to make climbing and descending effortless. Finally, the equipped Shimano Ultegra Hydraulic brakes will fill you with confidence to keep pushing your boundaries regardless of the weather. If you're looking for small gains to get the edge on your rivals, the Scultura 9000 offers you the performance gains needed for big results.
