Product Description

Road race performance through cutting edge design. The Merida Scultura 7000-E is a rapid road bike that features a carbon frame with aero tube shapes to help you slice through the air more efficiently as you attack. Shimano electronic shifting and DT Swiss P1800 wheels will help you to realize your performance goals.

 Merida Scultura Review

NANO MATRIX CARBON 2018

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 2018

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.

CARBON FORK 2018

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 2018

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.

NACA FASTBACK PROFILE 2018

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.

INTERNAL CABLE 2018

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 2018

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.

DISC COOLER 2018

A forged aluminium component under the front and rear caliper allowing heat to dissipate through CNC-milled cooling fins. Tests show that temperatures are reduced by around 35% and cooling times are shortened, optimising the performance of the brake.

12-142 THRU-AXLE 2018

Selected front forks use a 100mm wide through axle 12 or 15mm in diameter to increase lateral stiffness. A 142mm wide 12 mm rear axle fixed directly into the frame increases rear end stiffness whilst simplifying wheel removal and replacement.
