SCULTURA 7000-E

LIGHTWEIGHT RACE PEDIGREE
Our lightweight racer is at the cutting edge of design, powering Team Bahrain McLaren to World-Tour victories. Available in two different geometries and as either disc brake or rim brake option, our classic road bike combines class-leading comfort, with whippet-like acceleration and stage winning climbing pedigree. Cycling Plus magazine calls it 'a piece of legendary racing equipment'.

MANY COOKS DON’T SPOIL THE BROTH:
Our young and enthusiastic R&D team, lives, breathes (and not surprisingly) rides bikes…all day. Creating a bike is very much a team effort, where a long list of individuals contribute their specific skill set and ultimately bring it all together at the end. From conceptual planning, via first riding prototypes, integration of colour and graphics into the overall project, refining the pre-production models to the final bike that makes its way to the shop floor of your local MERIDA dealer.  

BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY:
Testing, re-testing and testing again are crucial to our game. We are doing everything we can to provide our customers with the most refined and secure product possible. Our in-house testing facilities push our products beyond the industry standards, and we work with the best external test laboratories to be sure that MERIDA bikes will withstand even the most demanding trail, the steepest climb, the heaviest load or the daily gruelling chore.

THERE IS NO ‘I’ IN TEAM:
MERIDA bikes are still very much ‘made by hand’ and that process starts with the many individuals who make up our highly skilled R&D team. From marathon racer to bike packing enthusiast, from track specialist to Enduro lover and from semi-professional road racer to ironman competitor, our team does not only bring experience and knowledge in their corresponding fields to work in the morning but also the undisputed love for everything bike, and the unstoppable desire to make ever better bikes. Our team accompanies the birth of a new bike from the conceptual beginning, all the way through the development stages and onto the production process. But the development does not stop there, as small improvements and upgrades are constantly looked at and integrated when possible.

• SHIMANO DIRECT HANGER - Our CF4 frame features the Shimano direct hanger for a more solid connection between frame and rear derailleur, resulting in further improved shifting and more simplified (and therefore faster) wheel changes.
• TYRE CLEARANCE SCULTURA DISC - The SCULTURA DISC version can be fitted with 28 mm wide tyres, providing maximum traction and transferring the improved braking power to the road. The maximum tyre width for the rim version is 25 mm.
• BOLT THROUGH AXLES - The 12 mm bolt through axles for greater wheel stiffness and precise disc alignment when replacing wheels. The custom axle lever is removable and has a 4 mm Allen key included, so, for example, stem and seat post clamps can be tightened and loosened.
