Merida Scultura Disc

Merida Reacto 4000

All in all, there are seven models in the Scultura Disc range, based around three frames: the flagship CF4 chassis used by the Lampre-Merida team, the more affordable CF2 frame, which also has a more forgiving industry, and an entry-level alloy setup.

Let’s start with the top-of-the-range C4 chassis – the frame we rode at the launch in the spring. Claimed weight is 900g, which is certainly light for a disc-equipped frame, and it’s based on the regular rim brake model, with its subtly aero-profiled tubes based around a NACA truncated teardrop shape.

The geometry is racy, as you’d expect it be, with a 54cm frame having a 560mm toptube, 155mm headtube, 557mm stack and 394mm reach. However, Merida have extended the chainstays by 8mm over the rim brake Scultura to comfortably allow clearance for 28mm tyres – a key feature of the Scultura in its bid to provide a plush ride.

Merida Reacto 400 Review 2017

Merida have opted for thru-axles at the front and rear, and have licensed Focus’ excellent RAT system to allow for quick wheel changes. Merida have also employed an innovative ‘disc cooler’ across all models of the carbon Scultura Disc to reduce heat around the rear brake. The aluminium ribs, located on the chainstay, are said to result in a 35 per cent reduction in heat build-up to improve braking performance.

The 2016 Merida Reacto 400 is a mid-range aero road bike. Fine-tuned, with the rear brake caliper hidden in the wind shadow of the bottom bracket, slender seatstays, and a smooth junction between fork and frame. Componentry is excellent, including the 11-speed Shimano 105 drivetrain and aero rims clad in slender, fast-rolling slicks. The Merida Reacto 400 is a lightweight aero road bike that offers a fast and efficient ride. With its aerodynamically profiled tubes, one piece seatube and a proper race riding position the triple butted. The high-end SCULTURA CF4 frame has a slimmed down front profile and uses a 1 1/8' to 1 1/4' taper, the new REACTO frames a 1 1/2' 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.
