ROAD BIKE
MERIDA SCULTURA TEAM
As a brand, Merida is highly underrated in the cycling world – this despite having a significant presence on the WorldTour where its bikes are used exclusively by Bahrain Victorious. The Merida Scultura Team not only represents the best value-for-money offering in the brand’s line-up but the entire road bike segment, too. The bike is built around the all-new Shimano Dura-Ace R9200 Di2 hydraulic groupset so it’s polished when it comes to braking modulation and gear shifting. The carbon-fibre frame is stiff and responsive and supplies a good amount of communication through its underpinnings, allowing the rider to lean on the huge reserves of grip when descending at speed.
