Merida Scultura Endurance GR 700 2026
All-road ability and the perfect balance of value and performance. The SCULTURA ENDURANCE GR 700 uses our lightweight, triple-butted aluminium endurance frame and supple carbon fork but matches it with the proven performance of Shimano's 12-speed GRX mechanical groupset, complete with powerful hydraulic disc brakes. Our own gravel-specific cockpit gives confident control no matter the terrain, while the 35 mm Continental tyres balance speed with all-surface grip.
The SCULTURA ENDURANCE is the perfect choice for more leisure-focused cyclists who want to enjoy long hours in the saddle while being comfortable and relaxed on the bike. Wide tyres offer plenty of comfort, even on the most pothole-littered country lanes, while a longer head tube provides a more relaxed riding position. An instant hit with the international cycling press and besides being given a 'comfort' award by RennRad, it also managed to get a long list of compliments like 'excellent comfort', ‘confidence inspiring', 'lively feel' and 'enjoyable' by reference cycling media such as Gran Fondo, Cyclingnews, Cyclingtips and Road.cc. Compared to its namesake, the SCULTURA, the ENDURANCE has a more comfort-orientated geometry, plenty of tyre clearance and seamless integration of the latest standards. It sits between the road-biased SCULTURA on one side and the gravel/adventure SILEX on the other, while the SCULTURA ENDURANCE GR lineup offers gravel-racing focused options with off-road ready tyres and flared handlebars.
