Merida Road Race Bike | Scultura Rim 400

SCULTURA RIM 400
Shimano 105-equipped triple-butted aluminum frame with a full carbon tapered fork and classic rim brakes. A reliable companion for long training rides, challenging club outings, or the first 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.

• Less aggressive geometry than the SCULTURA CF5 and CF3 models
• Shimano 105 11-speed groupset with rim brakes
• MERIDA EXPERT SL handlebar and MERIDA EXPERT CC stem

Technologies

Pro-Lite 66 Triple-Butted Aluminum
Our proven high-end aluminum (6066) is extremely light and durable. Using triple-butted wall thicknesses and hydroforming technology, we can tune the aluminum tubes to give the best possible stiffness to weight ratio.

HFS - Hydro Forming System
Tubes are inserted into negative molds and a hot emulsion of water and oil is forced through at pressure, enabling them to be formed into complex shapes.

Smooth Welding
Sometimes called ‘double pass welding, a second pass over the weld gives a clean organic look to the frame. At first glance, you will be convinced it is carbon.

X-Taper Headtube
Our X-Tapered headtube offers the space for a tapered fork to be fitted. Tapered forks offer superb stiffness and precision and deliver confidence-inspiring steering.

Internal Cable Routing
Cables are routed through the frame, entering and exiting through smooth sockets. The bike looks neat, whilst the cables are protected from moisture and dirt.
