'Best Value Race Bike of the Year 2024' award - Cycling Weekly
Looking for a lightweight carbon road bike with a super precise electronic group set, a long list of aerodynamic upgrades, perfect cable integration, class-leading frame compliance, ample tyre clearance and high-quality components? Do you turn your hand to racing or stay at the front of the pack on fast club rides, or like an undulating ride profile? The Shimano 105 Di2 equipped SCULTURA 6000 could be your perfect bike. Our award-winning SCULTURA stands for 'streamlined race compliance' and delivers exactly that, whatever challenge you throw at it.
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.
