MERIDA SCULTURA 8000 ROAD BIKE
Description
Beware! The pictures can differ from reality! This picture is used as a colour reference, the bike can be equipped with a different groupset.
Merida was established in the '70s as a bicycle manufacturer for several big brands. In 1988 it became an independent brand with the motto Mr-Ri-Da. Loosely translated: "with the intention to only create beautiful and high-grade products to make sure anyone can reach their destination in a pleasant and fun way.". This motto can be traced back to the bikes. Merida offers bikes of great quality and with the newest technology.
The Merida Scultura was completely renewed. It's not only lighter than its predecessor, but the aerodynamics and comfort were both improved as well. The cables are completely integrated into the frame. The geometry is closer to that of the Merida Reacto which makes this Scultura the ultimate allrounder.
The Merida Scultura is perfect for the ultimate cyclist looking for the best performances on hilly and flat roads.
Shimano R8170 Ultegra DI2 12-speed
Shimano R8170 Ultegra DI2 is an electric groupset, meaning when you shift, it won’t go through a cable, but through Bluetooth from shifters to the derailleurs. This makes sure that shifting goes even smoother than before. This also means you will have less maintenance. You can configure the shifting in the app.
This groupset offers the same performances as the Dure-Ace DI2 12 groupset, but at a more affordable price. This is because of the different material that was used. The Ultegra groupset has heavier materials, making the groupset a bit heavier, but it still keeps a great shift performance. The 12 gears offer a wide range of proportions to find the correct gear for the correct trail.
The shifters were ergonomically designed and are comfortable to handle. The shift paddles are easy to handle and thanks to the different structure, they are easy to tell apart. The shifters are provided with button cell battery with a life expectancy of 1.5 years.
The derailleurs are connected together through a battery. The Junction Box, which was located in the frame or handlebar before, is now integrated in the rear derailleur, as is the charging point. This means you will need less cables. The shifting is easier thanks to the Hyperglide+ technology.
The hydraulic disc brakes also received an update. The brake callipers offer 10% more space between the brake pads and the brake discs, which causes less wear on the brakes. The heat regulation also got an update to make sure that the heating up is limited during long descents. The ventilation runs through the brake callipers.
So generally speaking, we can say that the Shimano Ultegra DI2 brings joy to your ride. You’ll be able to focus on performance and carefree shifting, thanks to this groupset.
