Summary
The Merida Scultura is a versatile race bike that excels in both comfort and performance, offering a smooth ride, neutral handling, and stable descending. It's praised for its exceptional value, lightweight design, and aerodynamic features, making it suitable for long distances and high-speed efforts. While it shines in many areas, some reviews note minor drawbacks like average brakes and limited tire clearance.
Smooth, vibration killing ride
Neutral handling
Exceptional spec and value
Lightweight endurance road bike
Aerodynamic design
Average brakes
Limited tyre clearance
Slightly more flexy than desired
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 offers a great ride, with a very comfortable yet stiff frameset that's also eminently upgradable
Great ride quality from the frame and fork
Balanced handling that works for beginners and seasoned riders alike
Limited tyre clearance
Brake pads need an upgrade

Merida's all-new carbon Scultura Endurance ticks the all-road boxes, mixing race-ready handling with enough tire clearance to venture off-road onto gravel..
Jul 2020 · Joe Robinson
The new endurance model from Merida can fit 35mm tyres and has more relaxed geometry

Smooth, vibration killing ride
Spec
Neutral handling
Sharp edge to paint along top tube
Jul 2019 · Warren Rossiter
The essential design remains the same for the CF2, but the stack height is increased and the reach shortened making it more of an endurance flavoured bike with a more upright ride position and a less flattened back.. .
Great endurance ride position, has a surprisingly nice kick to it too
Understated, and racing snakes need not apply

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’.
