Based on the lightweight CF3 frame with the same race-proven geometry as the REACTO and a solid component package. The SCULTURA 4000 is light, aerodynamically efficient and super comfortable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBased on the latest and smoothest 12-speed Shimano 105 groupset and equipped with the award-winning all-carbon SCULTURA CF3 frame. Like its big sisters, it combines a long list of race-proven air slicing features and geometry adapted from the REACTO family with low weight and class-leading ride comfort, creating an almost unbeatable package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fifth generation of the lightweight race bike combines exceptional handling with improved comfort and an even more aerodynamic frame. Thanks to the integration of aerodynamic details selected by the award-winning and tested REACTO, the SCULTURA is the most aerodynamic version ever. However, it remains true to its goal of lightness, agility and rider comfort; in fact, it takes these factors to the next level. The SCULTURA demonstrates exceptional flexibility, providing the rider with class-leading ride comfort that will help keep the body cool for the final sprint or climb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight CF3 carbon frame (approx. 997 g - in size M) with race proven (identical to REACTO) geometry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShimano 105 12-speed groupset.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFSA SMR ACR two-piece cockpit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMERIDA EXPERT SL handlebar.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMERIDA EXPERT SL wheelset.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMERIDA EXPERT CC carbon seat post and DISC COOLER technology.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrame\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrame: SCULTURA CF3V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: carbon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e700x30C max. wheelsize\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100x12\/ 142x12 mm standard axle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBottom bracket: Shimano SM-BB71-41B, Pressfit 86.5 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePivot: MERIDA EXPERT SL, including removable lever, 6\/4 mm allen key\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFork\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSCULTURA ENDURANCE CF3 disc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: carbon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e700x30C max. wheelsize\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMERIDA EXPERT CC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrakes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShimano 105, Hydraulic disc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscs: Shimano RT10, 160 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCockpit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeadset: FSA ACR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandlebar stem: MERIDA EXPERT SLII, (aluminium), 380 mm(XXS) , 400 mm (XS) , 420 mm (S-M-L) , 440 mm (XL)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStem: FSA SMR ACR, (aluminium), -6° stem angle, 90 mm-XXS\/XS, 100 mm-S, 110 mm-M, 120 mm-L\/XL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandlebar tape: MERIDA ROAD Expert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeatpost: MERIDA EXPERT CC, 27.2 mm diameter, 15 mm setback, Carbon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeatpost clamp: MERIDA EXPERT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaddle: MERIDA EXPERT SL, V-mount, incl.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInternal Cable Routing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDI2 Ready\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShimano's Di2 electronic shifting system offers fast, smooth and reliable shifting. In particular, in the road world, it has proven itself as the primary choice when top performance is at the top of the agenda. With that in mind, we have a broad selection of performance road frames that are Di2 READY and can accommodate the electrical cable, battery and other little tweaks that the system requires.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNano Matrix Carbon\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNANO MATRIX CARBON is a special kind of carbon fibre where we add extremely tiny, nano-scale particles to the resin that binds the individual carbon fibres together. These then work on a molecular level to protect them from damage. It’s so effective that it can actually increase the finished carbon fibre’s impact resistance by up to 40%, allowing us to build stronger and lighter composite frames that result in a faster and tougher bike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAWS Anti Wrinkle System\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a method we use to manufacture our carbon fibre frames. First, the carbon fibre that makes up the frame is laid around special formers. We then use a bladder to compress the layers against the outside of the frame mould, giving a smooth and wrinkle-free internal finish, removing any voids in between the layers of carbon that can cause potential weak points, resulting in a stronger, lighter frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNACA fastback profile\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a special kind of tube shape that helps reduce aerodynamic drag while also helping to reduce weight. It’s based around a teardrop profile that was originally developed in the aeronautical industry, but the rearmost portion of the profile is cut short. This reduces the amount of material needed to make the tube, but air still flows around it just as well, giving all the aerodynamic benefits but at a lower weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisc Cooler\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUsed on our carbon fibre road and gravel bikes, DISC COOLER is a finned piece of forged aluminium that sits between the brake calliper and frame. The aluminium piece helps to draw heat from the braking system and radiates it away quickly. It reduces the temperatures by up to 35% and helps to keep your brakes working at their best for improved control and performance on long descents and under heavy braking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInternal Clamp\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen every second counts, the smallest of details can make the difference between winning and losing, so we look at every aspect of our frames to make them as sleek as possible. By using a seat post clamping mechanism that secures the post with a wedge inside the frame itself, we minimise the turbulence and potential drag while keeping post height adjustment simple, giving a frame that is more aerodynamic and also better looking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWire Port\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMERIDA designed headsets that enable all control cables from the handlebar to enter the frame through the headset cover, creating a clean and uncluttered look, allowing for a lighter, stronger and more aerodynamic frame structure than with conventional cable ports. Depending on the model, the cables are run completely internally (including the bar and stem) or semi-integrated, where the cables enter the frame underneath the stem.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Merida Bikes","offers":[{"title":"Metallic Black Silver \/ S","offer_id":48057659457777,"sku":"A62411A02510","price":2553.96,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Titan -  Race Red \/ XS","offer_id":48057659490545,"sku":"A62411A02515","price":2553.96,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Titan -  Race Red \/ S","offer_id":48057659523313,"sku":"A62411A02516","price":2553.96,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Titan -  Race Red \/ M","offer_id":48057659556081,"sku":"A62411A02517","price":2553.96,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Titan -  Race Red \/ L","offer_id":48057659588849,"sku":"A62411A02518","price":2553.96,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0794\/1580\/4145\/files\/zm_20231227-124527.jpg?v=1776524277","url":"https:\/\/novasportsbikes.com\/products\/merida-scultura-4000-v2-shimano-105-bike-1","provider":"Nova Sports Bikes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
