Merida Scultura 100 (2017)

The 2017 Merida Scultura 100 is an entry-level road bike. Newer riders will appreciate the relaxed geometry, stable steering, and reliable componentry; all riders will appreciate the light weight. Built on a responsive aluminum frame, paired with a carbon fork to reduce vibration, the 100 is a capable performer, accelerating quickly and confidently. Shimano's drivetrain provides clean, precise shifts across the wide gear range, meshing well with the compact FSA crank, conveying power efficiently to the tough alloy wheelset. Maxxis Dolomites add a little cushion and provide firm footing on pavement, wet or dry.
A good beginner's road bike.
