Gen 5 keeps the Scultura's fabled lightweight, agility and rider comfort focus and even manages to improve on both measures. The Scultura now incorporates learnings from the Reacto in terms of aerodynamics; they now share the same race proven geometry. Improving weight, comfort and aerodynamics requires plenty of engineering ingenuity. Round tubes are lighter than aero profiled tubes, fatter tyres are more comfortable but less aerodynamic. There are always compromises to be made. The new Scultura is the most aerodynamic ever and shows outstanding compliance, providing class-leading rider comfort. The marketing blurb suggests this helps keep the body fresh for the final sprint or ascent. A couple of mountain top, grand tour stage victories underline that point quite well!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\t\u003cthead\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCategory\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\t\u003ctbody\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrame\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003eCF5 V carbon – premium fibres for lightweight performance, race geometry, internal cable routing, 142x12mm axle, flat mount rear brakes with Disc Cooler, 1 1\/2\" to 1 1\/4\" headtube, Pressfit 86.5 BB, max tyre size 30c\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFork\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003eScultura CF5 Disc, full carbon, max tyre size 700x30C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGears\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e24-speed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShifters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003eShimano Ultegra Di2 (front \u0026amp;
