With its new Scultura V Team, which already equips the professional riders of the Bahrain Victorious team, Merida has sought to go even further in the perpetual quest for improvements in weight, comfort and aerodynamics.

This 5th opus of the Scultura line has thus sought to gain a few grams on one side (4% weight gained with the highest-end frame in CF5 carbon fiber, or 822 g on the scale in size M), approximately 10 watts on the other in aero drag compared to the old version, without forgetting to preserve the muscles of its user with a vertical rigidity of the seat tube which goes from 111 N/mm to less than 80 N/mm and a seat tube shortened by 40 mm thus allowing greater flexion of the seat post.
This is a do-it-all bike that performs well in high-altitude conditionstagwhile ensuring the best possible performance on the flat. It is therefore versatility that prevailed in the brand's research, rather than offering a bike made to climb on one side and another ready to go as fast as possible at the end of a sprint.
If this bike has already proven itself at the UCI World Tour level, the versatility sought has also allowed access to all types of users, even if they are not capable of developing the powers of the riders of the Bahrain Victorious team.
These top-level cyclists have already taken the Scultura V Team to the top of the rankings, as intestent the victories of Mark Padun on the Dauphiné, of Dylan Teuns on the Tour or of Damiano Caruso on the Vuelta.
