With so many disc brake road bikes entering the market over the past couple of years, it came as no surprise to us that one of the biggest frame manufacturers in the world – Merida – would be one of the first to share them on a WorldTour-ready bike.
The Scultura Disc Team was officially launched ahead of the 2016 Paris-Roubaix, with Lampre riders having already ridden it on the bergs of De Ronde the weekend before. Of course, disc brakes were temporarily banned from the pro peloton after Paris-Roubaix, but the Scultura Disc impressed us back then and continued to do so when we had it in for review this winter.
