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.

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

The Merida Scultura Disc Team Edition is a Pro level disc brake machine. We rode it on the cobbles and in the mountains to really put it to the test and see if disc brakes actually offer a benefit
Looks
Compliant
Top spec
Excellent braking
Corners very well
Superb on descents
Heavy for the price

Not as nippy up hill as the non disc version

High-octane race bike with peerless shifting and braking - a scintillating pro-level ride
Aug 2016 · Warren Rossiter
A fantastic disc machine - a rival to our Focus’s Izalco Max disc bike of the year. Buy if you want one of the most accomplished disc-equipped, true race bikes around
Lively, likable handling bike, that’s smoothly fast with it
It’s a pricey proposition

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’.
