Super result for the SCULTURA 9000

The Cycling Weekly test team gave our SCULTURA 9000 a near-perfect score of 4.5 out of 5 stars, calling it a "brilliant road bike" and were very impressed with the value for money it offers at the top end of the range.

In their recent test schedule, the team took a closer look at our 2nd from the top SCULTURA 9000, which comes equipped with our rage topping CF5 carbon layup frame, Sram wireless FORCE AXS groupset, Reynolds Aero 46 DB wheels and integrated one-piece carbon cockpit, to name just a few of the highlights.

Impressed by its ride quality, sharp handling and lightning acceleration, the SCULTURA 9000 continued to leave a positive mark throughout the extensive testing period, resulting in an impressive 4.5 out of 5 stars test score.

Their final verdict:
“The Merida Scultura 9000 has impressed us from start to finish. No, it hasn't been updated in the last twelve months, and no, it doesn't boast any mindblowing aerodynamic claims. What it does do, however, is get the basics right. It's instantly responsive, and features impressive value across the range, all in a rather simple package with a traditional aesthetic.”
