Merida Road Race Bikes | Scultura Disc 300

SCULTURA Disc 300
Triple butted aluminum frame with full carbon tapered fork and classic rim brakes. Only very few bikes offer this frame package at the entry-level of their road range. A solid ride with reliable components for long-lasting road riding fun.

Beautifully crafted lightweight aluminum frame with internal cable routing, aero profiled tubing, tapered head tube for precise steering, and classic rim brakes. By maintaining the proven geometry, rather than following the more aggressive alternative of our new top-end SCULTURA frames, the 300 offers the perfect balance between sharp handling and acceleration on one side and a more relaxed and comfortable riding position on the other. While not as upright as our ENDURANCE LITE frame, the 300 offers an exciting option for the less aggressive road rider on a budget.

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 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 Tiagra 10-Speed Groupsets
• Hydraulic disc brakes
• MERIDA EXPERT SL handlebar and MERIDA COMP CC stem

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.
