Merida Scultura Rim 400 Women's | Matt Dark Purple

The 400 is equipped with a 2x11 speed Shimano 105 Drivetrain which is performance oriented, right in that sweet spot for the recreational rider that wants to go fast or the experienced rider that just wants a workhorse to get the job done. The Shimano 105 Rim Brakes provide simple and efficient braking and are a bit cheaper than the disc brake model which is a nice added bonus. All-around this bike provides great value, it is a decent step up in quality from the 2X10 Speed Shimano Tiagra on the Scultura 300 and is the highest quality alloy frame Scultura. The Merida Scultura 400 combines female specific geometry with Shimano 105 and classic rim brakes for a bike that is well-rounded and ready for any road ride.

Features

Precise Steering: All SCULTURA models feature a full carbon fork with a tapered steerer to give precise confidence-inspiring steering. Alloy and CF2 carbon models feature a ‘regular’ 1 1/8" to 1 1/2" taper. The high-end CF4 frame has a slimmed down front profile and uses a 1 1/8" to 1 1/4" taper.

Aero Profiled Tubing: Our wind tunnel learnings from the REACTO design project have been used to create a smaller aerodynamically optimised ‘NACA Fastback’ tube profile. The more extreme truncation of the teardrop shaped tubes enables perfect airflow at the lowest possible weight.
