Merida Scultura Endurance 400 2026
The SCULTURA ENDURANCE 400 features a triple-thickness 6066 aluminium frame, designed with the same geometry as the CF3 carbon model, which has won numerous awards in international tests. This frame, which is more affordable but meticulously crafted, allows the popular ENDURANCE range to be extended to a wider audience, without compromising on the elegance and clean lines of the carbon models.
The SCULTURA ENDURANCE is the ideal choice for comfort-oriented cyclists who want to spend many hours in the saddle with a relaxed position and stable handling. The generous tyre clearance ensures comfort even on the roughest roads, while the longer head tube provides a more comfortable and balanced riding position. Praised by the international cycling press, it received the ‘comfort award’ from RennRad and numerous accolades from leading publications such as Gran Fondo, Cyclingnews, Cyclingtips and Road.cc, which highlighted its excellent comfort, feeling of safety and pleasant ride. Compared to the SCULTURA, the ENDURANCE features a comfort-oriented geometry, ample tyre clearance and harmonious integration of the latest technical standards. It fits perfectly between the SCULTURA, which is more geared towards road performance, and the SILEX, which is designed for adventure and gravel riding. Finally, the SCULTURA ENDURANCE GR version expands the range with options dedicated to gravel racing, featuring knobby tyres and a flared handlebar for optimal control even off-road.
