Sitting between the Silex and Scultura in the Merida road range the Scultura Endurance is aimed at tarmac adventure riding. The Scultura Endurance geometry is perfectly suited to riders who want to enjoy long hours in the saddle while being comfortable and relaxed on the bike. Endowed with a modern frame design and comfort-orientated geometry the Scultura Endurance has a longer head tube creating a more upright and comfort-orientated seating position. The slacker head tube angle and slightly longer wheelbase give the bike more stability at speed To increase frame stiffness and steering precision the Scultura Endurance uses 12mm bolt through axles and a full carbon tapered fork. There’s plenty of tyre clearance (up to 35c or 32c if you are running mudguards) larger volume tyres can be run at lower pressures and provide more comfort even on the most pothole littered country lanes. Merida have used plenty of neat touches such as routing shifting and brake cables through the headset to declutter the cockpit. All Scultura Endurance are equipped with powerful hydraulic disc brakes. Calipers are mounted via the flat mount standard for a neat flush fit. Calipers sit on top of CNC'd aluminium Disc Cooler fins which reduce operating temperatures by up to 35%.
