High-Performance Carbon Road Bike at Outstanding Value

The Merida SCULTURA 5000 is built for riders who want race-level performance without breaking the bank. Pairing a lightweight CF3 full carbon frame with Shimano’s latest 105 Di2 12-speed electronic groupset, it delivers a precise, smooth, and efficient ride that’s equally suited for competition and endurance riding.

Sharing its DNA with the award-winning SCULTURA 6000, the SCULTURA 5000 offers the same frame and drivetrain setup but comes with a more budget-friendly Vision Team 35 wheelset, making it an excellent choice for those seeking performance with room for future upgrades.

Recognized as Cycling Weekly’s “Best Value Race Bike of the Year 2024”, the SCULTURA 5000 perfectly balances speed, handling, comfort, and aerodynamics, making it one of the most versatile carbon road bikes in its class.
