SCULTURA ENDURANCE GR 8000

Gravel, but faster. Our SCULTURA ENDURANCE GR 8000 takes the CF3 carbon frame from our test and award-winning road endurance bike and sharpens the focus on gravel racing with 35 mm Continental Terra Speed tyres and a flared handlebar for extra control. That's backed up with a carbon fibre MERIDA TEAM GR30 wheelset and wireless 12-speed SRAM Force AXS groupset with double chainset, giving huge gear range and tightly spaced ratios that allow you to keep the tempo high. The perfect tool for gravel Gran Fondos or fast, rough roads.

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 focussed options with off-road ready tyres and flared handlebars.
