The perfect combination of low weight, razor-sharp handling, aerodynamic efficiency and class-leading comfort - welcome to the latest SCULTURA 9000. Equipped with some of the best components from Shimano, Reynolds and Continental, the SCULTURA 9000 is as much at home at the races as it is on your challenging club runs and long training sessions on the open road. And above all, the 2024 version was crowned 'Best Value Race Bike of the Year 2024' by Cycling Weekly.
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.
