Video Just In: Merida Scultura 6000 Disc
The Merida Scultura 6000 Disc has just arrived here at road.cc, and here’s a quick look before we take it out on the road.
It’s a £2,400 road bike that’s a close relative of the Merida Scultura Disc Team that we reviewed recently.
The Orro Gold STC Disc Ultegra 11-speed that we reviewed recently is £200 cheaper at £2,199.99.
That bike has a super-stiff spread tow carbon frame, a Shimano Ultegra groupset (obviously!), and Shimano 805 hydraulic brakes.
It’s an excellent gran fondo bike – quick and very responsive.
The Wilier GTR Team Disc endurance road bike that we tested a few months ago was £2,699.
We called it a “comfortable race-leaning endurance bike with the all-weather performance of Shimano's hydraulic discs”.
Again, it’s a bike built up with a Shimano Ultegra groupset.
It’s not all about the spec sheet, though. We’ll be back with a review on the Merida Scultura 6000 soon.
