Raced and put through its paces by Team Bahrain Victorious, the SCULTURA TEAM is the comfort-focused alternative to the REACTO aero bike. While the latest SCULTURA has learned a lot from the REACTO in terms of aerodynamics, we have put extra effort into reducing the weight even further and making it the most comfortable pure road race bike in our range. Equipped with top-end components from Shimano, Vision, Continental and MERIDA, the TEAM is the perfect bike when comfort, weight and lightning-fast acceleration are essential for your next road session.
The fifth generation of our lightweight racer marries outstanding handling with improved comfort and an even more aerodynamic chassis. Thanks to incorporating selected aero details from our test and award-winning REACTO aero bike, the SCULTURA is the most aerodynamic version ever. Yet, it remains true to its lightweight, agility and rider comfort focus; in fact it takes these factors to the next level, so far that Cycling Weekly gave it the highly sought after 'Best Value Race Bike of the Year 2024' award. The SCULTURA demonstrates outstanding compliance, providing the rider with class-leading riding comfort that will help to keep the body fresh for the final sprint or ascent. Available in CF5 and CF3 carbon frame versions, both sharing their geometry with the World Tour proven REACTO, our classic road bike combines outstanding comfort with whippet-like acceleration and class-leading climbing pedigree.
