The Scultura 300 is the ideal bike for those that want to focus on improving their performance on the road and look slick with the Bahrain Merida Team colours. This bike is built to go fast and handle well, but with a much more comfortable position and feel than one might expect. The proven Prolite 66 Triple Butted Aluminium Frame (6066) is extremely light and durable. Using triple butted wall thickness and hydroforming technology the aluminium tubes have the best possible stiffness to weight ratio. While a tapered head tube with 1 1\/8\" bearings in the top and 1 1\/4\" or 1 1\/2\" in the bottom also creates excellent stiffness and precision steering. The bike looks amazing with the double pass welding giving it that sharp carbon-like appearance. The cables are hidden internally to give it that neat and tidy look and protect the cables. It is equipped with carbon forks, which provide superb vibration damping and enhance control, the steerer and fork blades are all made of carbon.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Scultura 300 uses a Shimano groupset, which offers a higher level of quality and performance compared to many comparable road bikes. The wider Maxxis 25mm tyres will improve comfort, further acting to dampen vibration felt through the bike. It is important that you are comfortable while you ride and the Scultura 300 makes sure that you are looked after. A comfortable ride will help you enjoy riding much more and will reduce fatigue to give you an overall better performance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Merida Scultura 300 is a great mid-level road bike and really is exceptional value.
