The CF2 framed 7000-E transforms Merida’s race bike into a much more versatile machine worthy of Editor’s Choice selection.
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.
CyclistOverall, the 4000 disc is a fine machine, it does everything asked of it very, very well.

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

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’.
