MERIDA SCULTURA ENDURANCE 9000 – Head-to-head in our all-road group test

Sep 2023 · Czajac

Performance often falls by the wayside on all-road bikes, but MERIDA are out to change that with the SCULTURA ENDURANCE 9000 in our all-road group test.

Highs
  • Extremely fun due to the quick acceleration and responsive handling

  • Well-proportioned & sporty looking frame design

  • Appealing and well thought through one-piece cockpit

Lows
  • Too little compliance for ultra-long all-road rides

The Scultura 9000 is an excellent race bike that won't require any upgrading out of the box

Highs
  • Light

  • Rapid

  • Sharp handling

  • Superb package

Lows
  • Ride on the firm side (but not ride-spoilingly so)

Merida Scultura V Team review

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

Highs
  • Light

  • Great handling

  • Impressive spec

Lows
  • Seatpost may actually flex too much

Merida Scultura Team 2022 review

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

Highs
  • 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

Lows
  • Bahrain Victorious livery is not for everyone

  • No sprint/satellite shifters
