2026 SCULTURA 5000

You want nimble handling, fast acceleration, impressive comfort and low weight, but you don't want to spend the world. Look no further than our SCULTURA 5000. A lightweight CF3 full carbon frame and fork combination with World Tour proven geometry, coupled with class-leading compliance that helps reduce road buzz, and the hugely popular Shimano 105 Di2 12-speed groupset are just some of the key points that make the SCULTURA 5000 a real winner.

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.
