For This Bike
May 2022 · Simon von Bromley
Merida’s lightweight all-rounder is our Performance Bike of the Year for 2022
Near-faultless spec
Excellent value
Racy handling
Improved aerodynamics offer tangible improvements in speed
Power meter included as standard
Integrated cockpit makes fit adjustments tricky
Dec 2021 · James Spender
The Merida Scultura V Team ticks a lot of boxes but is let down by too much vertical compliance, if such a thing is possible
Light
Great handling
Impressive spec
Seatpost may actually flex too much
Dec 2021 · Stu Kerton
Pro-level performance with excellent comfort, draped in all the bling you could want, for a decent price
Great ride quality
Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 works like a dream
Precise handling
Integrated cockpit limits adjustability
Sep 2021 · Aaron Borrill
The fifth-generation Merida Scultura takes inspiration from its aero sibling, the Reacto, and the result is nothing short of brilliant. It's one of the fastest, most compliant climbing road bikes we've ever ridden
Fast, yet compliant
Lightweight
Shimano Dura-Ace R9200 groupset perfectly suited to the platform
Impeccable handling manners
Generous tyre clearance
Superlative communication and traction levels
Bahrain Victorious livery is not for everyone
No sprint/satellite shifters
Sep 2021 · Tobias Hörsch
MERIDA present the new SCULTURA V TEAM and we already put the pro tool to the test. Better aerodynamics, lower weight and more comfort?
Very comfortable for a race bike
Speed in every situation
Great looks with total integration
Shifting and braking performance
Plenty of clearances, even for up to 700 x 30C tires
Position of the bolt for the seat post clamp
Limited cockpit options
Not as aerodynamic as the REACTO
