Merida Road Bikes | Scultura Disc 400, 2024

Scultura Disc 400
Our highest level aluminium road bike featuring a beautifully crafted triple butted aluminium frame, a full carbon tapered fork and a proven Shimano 105 groupset. A reliable companion for challenging club outings or the 1st steps into road racing.

Aluminum road bike with proven and less aggressive geometry than the new carbon top-end frames for enjoyable miles on the road. Our triple-butted aluminum frame comes equipped with a full carbon tapered fork for added steering precision and improved shock absorption. The reliable groupset from Shimano offers smooth and precise shifting, while the rim brakes maintain the classic look and offer easy-to-look after-stopping power.

Rather than featuring the more aggressive and race-proven geometry of the CF5 and CF3 models, the CF2 and aluminum SCULTURA models retain their slightly more relaxed geometry. Within this family, we offer our bikes with powerful and easy-to-modulate disc brakes that deliver constant braking power even in wetter conditions or the more price aggressive rim brake alternative. Due to the less aggressive geometry, our CF2 and aluminum models are ideal for riders who are getting into the sport as well as for those who prefer a slightly more upright position when hitting the lanes.

• Lightweight 6066 triple-butted aluminum frame
• Full carbon tapered fork
• Less aggressive geometry than the SCULTURA CF5 and CF3 models
• Shimano 105 11-speed groupset
• MERIDA EXPERT SL handlebar and MERIDA EXPERT CC stem
• MERIDA EXPERT CC carbon seat post.

Technologies

Prolite 66 Triple Butted Aluminum
When creating high-end aluminium frames, we use our proven PROLITE 66 (6066) aluminium, as it is incredibly light and durable. In addition, it works exceptionally well with our hydroforming technology, allowing us to create complex shapes, featuring triple butted wall thicknesses, an almost carbon-like appearance and the best possible stiffness-to-weight ratio. While lesser alloys might be cheaper, it is the ideal choice for high-performance bicycle frames.

HFS - Hydro Forming System
‘C-Mount’ equipped bikes have the fixing points for a rear rack already integrated (some bikes require model specific rear rack), making fitting fast, simple and reliable.

Smooth Welding
This is a process we use to give a nice flat finish to our welds instead of the scaled, 'stack of coins' effect TIG welded joints often have. The welder uses the welding torch to go over the joint twice, helping to smooth out the filler material. It takes a lot of skill to do this, but it delivers strong and smart-looking frames that have the appearance of a carbon fibre frame at first look.

X-Taper Headtube
Steering precision is vital to safe and confident handling, and the X-TAPER HEADTUBE allows us to significantly boost this precision. A larger headset diameter at the bottom paired with a smaller one at the top helps to deal with the strains modern riding and equipment can put on the headtube, all without adding unnecessary weight. It allows tapered forks to be fitted with ease and delivers precise and confidence-inspiring steering.

Internal Cable Routing
On the majority of our frames, we run the gear and brake cables and hoses through the frame. The cables enter and exit the frame through smooth sockets, or we use one of our other systems like SMART ENTRY or WIRE PORT to be routed through. Running the cables inside the frame protects them from the elements, gives a clean and neat look and can offer aerodynamic advantages.
