{"product_id":"merida-scultura-4000-2027","title":"Scultura 4000 2027","description":"\u003cp\u003eNow in its fifth generation, the Scultura is the bike the road range is built around: light, quick to change direction and calm enough over rough tarmac to leave you with something in reserve for the last climb. Aerodynamic thinking carried over from the Reacto has tidied up the tube shapes, but the priorities here are still low weight, agility and comfort rather than chasing outright aero numbers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe geometry is World Tour race, the same fit that took stage wins at the Tour and the Vuelta, so the front end sits low and the steering is direct. The 4000 uses the CF3 V carbon frame with a matching Scultura CF3 Disc carbon fork, internal cable routing, a 1 1\/2 to 1 1\/4 tapered head tube, a 142 x 12mm rear axle, a Pressfit 86.5 bottom bracket and a flat mount rear brake with the Disc Cooler heat sink. There is clearance for tyres up to 30c.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the mechanical build in the line-up, and it is a well judged one. Shifting and braking come from Shimano 105 with hydraulic discs, running a 105 R7100 chainset in 50-34 with an 11-34 12-speed cassette and a 105 GS rear derailleur. That is a wide enough spread for long days, headwinds and properly steep lanes without giving up close ratios in the middle of the block.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMerida Expert SL aluminium wheels with 28 double butted spokes and Shimano TC500 Centerlock hubs are built to be ridden year round, and Continental Grand Prix 28c tyres are a sensible place to start. The finishing kit is the brand's own Expert SL: an aluminium bar, a 27.2mm in-line carbon seat post that takes the edge off broken surfaces, and a saddle with a minitool tucked underneath. If you want a carbon race frame with parts any shop can service and upgrade later, this is where to begin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCF3 V carbon frame with Scultura CF3 Disc full carbon fork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorld Tour race geometry with a low, direct front end\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShimano 105 R7100 12-speed transmission, 50-34 chainset with an 11-34 cassette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShimano 105 hydraulic disc brakes, flat mount rear with Disc Cooler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMerida Expert SL aluminium wheels, 17mm inner rim width, Shimano TC500 Centerlock hubs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContinental Grand Prix 700x28C folding tyres, frame clearance up to 30c\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal cable routing, 142 x 12mm rear axle and Pressfit 86.5 bottom bracket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMerida Expert SL 27.2mm in-line carbon seat post for extra compliance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaddle supplied with a Merida minitool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications::Scultura 4000\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiscipline: Road\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaterial: CF3 Carbon\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eWheel Size: 700c\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eGroupset: Shimano 105\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrakes: Hydraulic Disc\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eMax Tyre: 30c\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrame - \u003c\/strong\u003eCF3 V carbon, race geometry.
