The Merida Scultura packs a punch, combining the aerodynamic prowess of the Reacto with the lighter weight and shorter wheelbase of seasoned climbing bikes. The result is a nimble and lightning-quick road bike ready to climb, descend or just roll through flat sections.
The Scultura Rim 100 model features the ever-reliable 2 x 8-speed Shimano Claris groupset, which offers precise shifting with brilliant control for smooth, silent and crisp performance on the road. The standard 50-34T crankset and optimised 11-28T 8-speed cassette will ensure you have the range to climb mountains with ease, and equally, you'll be able to spin along the flat without tiring. In order to keep weight to a minimum, and to provide a retro road riding feel, Merida have taken the decision to use rim brakes rather than disc brakes. if you talk to any climbing specialists or retro enthusiasts, they'll tell you that nothing provides the same level of feedback as rim brakes - and they're not wrong! You'll find the Scultura Rim 100 really responds to every input to put you in cycling nirvana. To minimise rolling resistance, the speedy 700 x 25c Maxxis Dolomites tyres have been specced to give you raw speed and the ability to unleash your potential in the saddle.
The Merida Scultura Rim 100 Road Bike is a great mid-range road bike for commuting or casual weekend group rides. With its nimble handling and comfort, the Scultura Rim 100 is ideal for most amateur riders who want a dynamic road bike. Merida have designed the Rim 100 with edgy and innovative technology contrasted against the simplicity of rim brakes to provide you with a slick ride that is both fast and fun. If you're after an enthralling ride, look no further than the Merida Scultura Rim 100.
CARBON FORK
The fork features a tapered steerer, you'll have precise and confident steering. With carbon's special properties you'll gain great lateral stiffness for control and vertical tolerances which enable a more absorbent more comfortable ride. Best of both worlds!
DOUBLE FRONT CHAINRING
This bike features a double front chainring meaning you'll have full access to higher and lower gearing perfectly suited for dynamic rides across varying grades of terrain. You'll have plenty of options to keep you steady up climbs and enough to keep you spinning comfortably on descents as well. With 2 chainrings at the front, you'll be prepared to take on any ride, short, steep, long or flat!
DOUBLE & TRIPLE BUTTING
Butting is varying the thickness of the tubing throughout frame construction you get the benefit of strength where you need it and a lightweight design everywhere else. As part of the process, frames are heated and cooled significantly increasing the strength of the tubing.
