The Scultura Disc drops down mountains like a Stuka dive bomber.
Cycling WeeklyThe Scultura manages to avoid such a compromise and retains an extremely racy feel while benefitting from the grip and added comfort the wide 28mm tyres offer.

The Scultura Disc 6000 is a stunning endurance bike, with poise, speed and comfort in abundance. Buy if you want a well-priced, refined, all-day bike that’s faster than you’d expect

This bike should be banned! Oh wait, it is banned. We’ve been out testing the Merida Scultura Disc in the Dolomites to see if the bike can keep its ‘cool’.
