The Bahrain-Merida team have unveiled the three Merida bikes their riders will use in their debut season in 2017 – the Scultura, the Reacto, and the Warp.
One of each was hidden under black cloth during the press conference at the new team's introductory training camp in Croatia, but there were no huge gasps when they were revealed as it's the same range used this season by the Lampre-Merida team, just in the new team's colours.
The Scultura is Merida's flagship lightweight race bike, which will be the bike used most widely and the one on which Vincenzo Nibali is likely to lead the team at the Giro d'Italia.

The other road bike is the Reacto, which will be used by the sprinters in the team such as Niccolo Bonifazio and Sonny Colbrelli. The bike prioritises aerodynamics and the handlebars are designed to cut through the air, with Merida also positioning it as the ideal choice for those looking to spend time in breakaways.
The Warp is Merida's flagship time trial bike.
The team will be using the Shimano Dura-Ace groupset, with Di2 electronic shifting, and will be changing to the latest version once the upgrade comes out in February. The wheels are supplied by Fulcrum and the SRM power-meter set-up is said to be the most weight-efficient out there.
