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

Too tall for the racers

Merida's WorldTour racer makes a smooth transition to discs while ironing out some of the earlier niggles of the rim brake edition

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’.

Superb lightweight frame
Agile handling
Racy geometry
Comfortable enough for long rides
A better spec would better match the exceptional frame

The ride comfort is great, and it is reliable, and I got mine down to 7.2kg with some cheap 30mm Prime wheels. Definitely recommend!
Great ride comfort, large fits like other brands in my case.
The colour takes a bit of getting used to
