The comfiest bike in the Tour de France? Check out Bahrain-Victorious' Merida Scultura Team Cycling TourDeFrance2022 BHRVictorious MeridaBikes
Team Bahrain-Victorious has two of Merida’s best bikes available for the Tour de France, but when the race enters the crucial mountain stages, the Scultura will be the machine that the climbers reach for. Here’s a close look at their race setup.
As with all bikes in this year’s Tour de France, Caruso uses disc brakes and opts for a 160mm front rotor to provide additional stopping power. The rotors are the MT-9000 model which has become Shimano’s one top-end model. The Shimano theme continues with the rest of the groupset with the rear derailleur looking like it hasn’t yet been crashed which, on a pro bike, is quite rare. The Bahrain mechanics have fitted a direct mount hanger and have used a small rubber band to keep the Di2 cable tucked away neatly.The chainset features the new Shimano ‘standard’ gearing of 54/40T that was developed at the request of the pros who were going too fast for the old 53T big ring.
At the front of the bike you’ll find an integrated carbon cockpit from Vision. There’s no way to tell for sure, but the drop on this bar looks to be a little deeper than the standard cockpit that you and I can buy, so it could be that Caruso gets a custom shape from Vision.
