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.
Extremely fun due to the quick acceleration and responsive handling
Well-proportioned & sporty looking frame design
Appealing and well thought through one-piece cockpit
Too little compliance for ultra-long all-road rides
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
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
