The Scultura Rim 100 model features the ever-reliable Shimano Claris groupset, which offers precise shifting with brilliant control for smooth, silent and crisp performance on the road. The crankset and optimised cassette will ensure you have the range to climb mountains with ease and be able to spin along the flat without tiring. To keep weight to a minimum, Merida have taken the decision to use rim brakes. If you talk to any climbing or retro enthusiasts, they'll tell you nothing provides the same level of feedback as rim brakes - and they're not wrong! This Bike is a great mid-range road bike for commuting or casual weekend group rides. With its nimble handling and comfort, the Scultura Rim 100 is a dynamic bike ideal for most amateurs. Merida have designed this with edgy and innovative technology contrasted against the simplicity of rim brakes to provide you with a slick ride that is both fast and fun. If you're after an enthralling ride, look no further.
