The Merida Scultura 4000 is a capable road bike that is comfortable enough for all day adventures and fast enough for race day. It all comes back to Merida's CF2 Carbon Frame which gives you smooth, vibration killing ride that can act as the training or race day bike for the everyday rider. If you're rolling on a flat out carbon machine you want a quality groupset and you really can't go wrong with 2x11 speed Shimano 105. 105 is swift and smooth, giving you an all-around awesome riding experience, packing a 50-34 crankset and 11-30 cassette. This model is equipped with Shimano 105 Brakes for simple braking control without weighing your bike down. While the finishing kit is almost all Merida and it still has a very clean look and fast feel. The main difference between the 4000 and the 5000 is the Ultegra groupset on the 5000 vs 105 on the 4000, so it really just comes down to what you want from your bike. The Merida Scultura Rim 4000 mixes rim brakes with a fast carbon frame with the versatility to go all day long.

Features

Aero Profiled Tubing: Our wind tunnel learnings from the REACTO design project have been used to create a smaller aerodynamically optimised ‘NACA Fastback’ tube profile. The more extreme truncation of the teardrop shaped tubes enables perfect airflow at the lowest possible weight.

Precise Steering: All SCULTURA models feature a full carbon fork with a tapered steerer to give precise confidence-inspiring steering. Alloy and CF2 carbon models feature a ‘regular’ 1 1/8" to 1 1/2" taper. The high-end CF4 frame has a slimmed down front profile and uses a 1 1/8" to 1 1/4" taper.
