Scultura 8000 2026

The Scultura is the go to all-rounder, now in its fifth iteration with improved aerodynamics thanks to shared learnings from the award-winning Reacto aero bike.

The 2026 model remains true to its lightweight, agility and rider comfort focus demonstrating outstanding compliance to keep the body fresh for the final sprint or ascent. When it comes to final efforts, the geometry is World Tour, winning stages of the Vuelta and Tour even before it was officially launched helping prove its whippet-like acceleration and class-leading climbing pedigree.
