Merida Scultura 8000 2026

Featuring the same race-proven geometry as aero specialist, the REACTO, but equipped with a lightweight, comfort-focused CF3 frame, the SCULTURA 8000 combines impressive climbing performance, razor-sharp handling, aerodynamic efficiency and class-leading compliance. A fantastic spec package from Shimano, Reynolds and Continental, in conjunction with newly designed frame, give this bike the edge over the competition.
The fifth generation of lightweight racer marries outstanding handling with improved comfort and an even more aerodynamic chassis. Thanks to incorporating selected aero details from test and award-winning REACTO aero bike, the SCULTURA is the most aerodynamic version ever. Yet, it remains true to its lightweight, agility and rider comfort focus; in fact it takes these factors to the next level. The SCULTURA demonstrates outstanding compliance, providing the rider with class-leading riding comfort that will help to keep the body fresh for the final sprint or ascent. Available in CF5 and CF3 carbon frame versions, both sharing their geometry with the World Tour proven REACTO, classic road bike combines outstanding comfort with whippet-like acceleration and class-leading climbing pedigree.
