In-Depth Description:

Sitting between the Silex and Scultura in Merida's road range, the Scultura Endurance is perfectly positioned for tarmac adventure riding. It features a modern frame design with a comfort-oriented geometry, characterized by a longer head tube for an upright and relaxed seating position. The slacker head tube angle and extended wheelbase enhance stability at speed, making this bike a joy to ride on long, challenging routes.

Merida has thoughtfully engineered the Scultura Endurance with 12mm bolt-through axles and a full carbon tapered fork, ensuring stiffness and precise steering. The bike also offers ample tyre clearance—up to 35c, or 32c with mudguards—allowing for lower pressure and increased comfort even on rough roads.

The attention to detail continues with internal cable routing through the headset, decluttering the cockpit, and a hidden seat clamp that maintains a clean aesthetic. The rear seat stay bridge is removable for those who prefer not to use mudguards. Hydraulic disc brakes with flat-mount calipers and CNC'd aluminium Disc Cooler fins ensure powerful braking and reduced operating temperatures.
