The Merida Scultura 4000 Juliet is a lightweight carbon frame road bike designed specifically for female riders who are looking to take their riding to the next level. The Scultura 4000 Juliet is the ideal bike for those that want to start looking at performance road bikes with a comfortable position and feel. It has a women’s specific build, which includes a different stem, low stand-over height, handlebars, and women’s specific saddle to give you a more comfortable ride. 

The proven Scultura CF2 frame is remarkably light and durable. The fibres are bonded together with an epoxy resin and added nano particles to increase impact resistance by up to 40%. While an inflatable bladder is used in construction to ensure there are no wrinkles inside the tube as these can add weight and create weakness. This results in a lighter, stiffer and stronger frame. While a tapered head tube with 1 1/8" bearings in the top and 1 1/4" or 1 1/2" in the bottom also creates excellent stiffness and precision steering. The cables are hidden internally to give it that neat and tidy look and protect the cables. It is equipped with carbon forks, which provide superb vibration damping and enhance control, the steerer and fork blades are all made of carbon. 

Shimano 105 components are used across the shifting components, which offer a higher level of quality and performance compared to many entry level performance road bikes. The wider 25mm tyres are a comfort feature, further reducing vibration felt through the bike. It is important that you are comfortable while you ride, and as a mid-level road bike the Scultura 4000 Juliet makes sure that you are looked after. A comfortable ride will help you enjoy riding much more and will reduce fatigue to give you an overall better performance.

The Merida Scultura 4000 Juliet is a great entry level carbon frame bike and really is exceptional value to get a carbon frame bike at this price. With a quality Merida frame and a host of Shimano components, you can’t go past the value of the Scultura 4000 Juliet. It is perfect for a rider looking at a performance road bike without breaking the bank. 

Features

Nano Matrix Carbon 2019: To protect the integrity of carbon frames, the fibres are bonded together with an epoxy resin with added nano particles, increasing impact resistance by up to 40%.

AWS 2019: When creating the individual carbon elements, an inflatable bladder is used to ensure there are no wrinkles inside the tube as these can add weight and create weakness. This results in a lighter, stiffer and stronger frame.

NACA Fastback Profile 2019: The aerodynamics are based around a NACA0028 teardrop profile (National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics) which is truncated. Air moves around the tube as though the missing rear section of the teardrop were still there, saving weight by using less material.

Carbon Fork 2019: Carbon forks provide superb vibration damping and precise steering. All road bikes feature a full carbon fork; the steerer and fork blades are all made of carbon.

X-Taper Headtube 2019: Using a tapered head tube with 1 1/8" bearings in the top and 1 1/4" or 1 1/2" in the bottom creates superb stiffness and precise, confidence inspiring steering.

Internal Cable 2019: Cables are routed through the frame, entering and exiting through smooth sockets. The bike looks neat, whilst the cables are protected from moisture and dirt.

Di2 Ready 2019: Bikes/frames with the symbol ‘Di2 Ready’ are prepared for the installation of Di2 technology with battery mounting in the seat post or within the fork steerer.
