Description

Merida Scultura 5000 – Team Bahrain Victorious (2025) | Size XXXS

Specific Configuration: Size 3XS (XXXS)

The Merida Scultura 5000 in size 3XS is the definitive solution for shorter riders (typically between 150 cm and 160 cm) who refuse to compromise on technical specifications. Often, small sizes sacrifice handling; however, Merida has optimized the CF3 V frame to maintain the same reactivity and aerodynamics as larger sizes, ensuring perfect control even on technical descents.

📍 Size 3XS Focus: This unit is equipped with proportional components, including 165 mm cranks and a 380 mm handlebar, to ensure correct ergonomics and prevent injury.

Technical Focus: 3XS Ergonomics

• Optimized Geometry: The top tube and standover height are reduced to facilitate mounting and dismounting, maintaining a low and stable center of gravity.

• Dedicated Componentry: Unlike many competitors, Merida fits this size with a specific cockpit: a narrower handlebar for better shoulder posture and a shorter stem for an attainable reach.

• Di2 Electronic Shifting: The Shimano 105 Di2 drivetrain is ideal for riders with smaller hands; shifting requires minimal button pressure, eliminating the mechanical effort of traditional levers.

Technical Specifications (3XS Setup)

Fitting Guide: Size 3XS

• Rider Height: 150 cm – 160 cm

• Inseam (Approx.): < 75 cm

• Stack: 503 mm | Reach: 362 mm

• The Advantage: The 3XS frame eliminates the risk of "toe overlap" (contact between shoe and front wheel) through a careful redesign of the CF3 fork rake.

FAQ - Small Size Specifics

• Are the wheels 700c or smaller?

  Merida uses standard 700c wheels even on the 3XS. This ensures maximum compatibility with the best tires and carbon wheels on the market, maintaining World Tour rolling performance.

• Is the seatpost adjustable for low saddle heights?

  Yes, the Expert CC Carbon seatpost is designed with a wide adjustment range, allowing for correct positioning even for those with a shorter inseam.

• Is it easy to handle the bike's weight?

  Absolutely. Since the frame is smaller, less carbon material is used, making the 3XS one of the lightest versions in the entire Scultura 5000 range.
