Merida Scultura Disc Team (2017)

The 2017 Merida Scultura Disc Team is a top-of-the-line disc-brake-equipped road race bike. Merida's finest carbon frame, here with integrated brake mounts at stay and fork blade, delivers a fast, responsive ride, its wickedly short stays leaving just enough clearance for the 25mm Continental Grand Prixs. The entire build is oriented towards taking maximum advantage of all the power the rider can bring to bear: the Rotor crankset is incredibly stiff, providing power directly; the Shimano Dura Ace drivetrain delivers that power to the wheels; and the Fulcrum Racing all-carbon wheelset spins up with alacrity, flying off the start line and through the sprints.
A very good road racer.
