Merida Scultura 7000 AXS (2024)

Featuring the latest power meter equipped Rival groupset from SRAM, the SCULTURA 7000 sets new standards in 'streamlined race compliance'. Its improved wind cheating properties come from its aero bike relative, the REACTO, while its newfound compliance results from a multitude of frame updates, changes in the carbon layup, increased tyre clearance up to 30 mm wide tyres, carbon fibre wheelset, S-FLEX carbon seat post and comfort optimised fork.

The fifth generation of our lightweight racer marries outstanding handling with improved comfort and an even more aerodynamic chassis. Thanks to incorporating selected aero details from our test and award-winning REACTO aero bike, the SCULTURA is the most aerodynamic version ever. Yet, it remains true to its lightweight, agility and rider comfort focus; in fact it takes these factors to the next level. The SCULTURA demonstrates outstanding compliance, providing the rider with class-leading riding comfort that will help to keep the body fresh for the final sprint or ascent. The CF5 and CF3 carbon versions share their geometry with our REACTO, given the rider Team Bahrain Victorious race-proven handling. Available in carbon and aluminium and as either disc brake or rim brake option, our classic road bike combines outstanding comfort with whippet-like acceleration and class-leading climbing pedigree.
