The frame of the "Scultura Evo SL" weighs just 844 grams (56 cm) and impresses with untouched comfort values, which ensures less fatigue for the rider. Even if we would have liked to be a little lighter in terms of weight, we opted for a slightly heavier, but more ecological and comfortable version with the newly used biological "Flax-Fibres". These new fibers are mainly used in the seat and chain stays and absorb vibrations. Despite all the comfort, the "Scultura Evo SL" should not lack aggressiveness. The chainstays, which are only 405 millimetres long, provide radical handling and good cornering characteristics and the high bottom bracket stiffness ensures good power transmission.

Optical delicacy
In addition to all the technical refinements, the "Scultura Evo SL" is also a visual highlight. While function normally follows appearance, this bike has gone the other way round - or at least the appearance has been given a strong emphasis. The frame was modeled like a sculpture - as the name Scultura suggests - and impresses with sporty but harmonious shapes. Underlined by the targeted use of matt and glossy paintwork, the "Scultura Evo SL" is a real eye-catcher. A frame without a lot of frills.
All cables, both mechanical and electronic, are routed internally. Whereas with the "Reacto" you had to decide in advance whether you wanted electronic or mechanical shifting, with the "Scultura Evo SL" you can install both thanks to various end caps. In addition, each frame is already fitted with two mounting bushes on the underside of the chainstay.
