SCULTURA ENDURANCE 400 features a 6066 triple butted aluminium frame with the same geometry as the test and award-winning carbon fibre models. The more cost-effective yet beautifully crafted aluminium frame allows us to open up the super popular ENDURANCE family to a bigger audience without compromising on the sleek appearance of its carbon counterparts.

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 taller head tube provides a more relaxed riding position.

An instant hit with the international cycling press, SCULTURA ENDURANCE has been given a "comfort" award by RennRad magazine, and has 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.


Highlights:
- Comfortable, confidence inspiring geometry
- Lightweight triple butted 6066 aluminium frame
- Full carbon tapered fork
- 2x12 Shimano 105 transmission with Shimano 105 compact chainset
- Shimano 105 hydraulic disc brakes
- Carbon seat post


Details:
PROLITE 66 TRIPLE BUTTED ALUMINUM
When creating high-end aluminium frames, Merida use the proven PROLITE 66 (6066) aluminium, as it is incredibly light and durable. In addition, it works exceptionally well with our hydroforming technology, allowing us to create complex shapes, featuring triple butted wall thicknesses, an almost carbon-like appearance and the best possible stiffness-to-weight ratio. While lesser alloys might be cheaper, it is the ideal choice for high-performance bicycle frames.

X-TAPER HEADTUBE
Steering precision is vital to safe and confident handling, and the X-TAPER HEADTUBE allows us to significantly boost this precision. A larger headset diameter at the bottom paired with a smaller one at the top helps to deal with the strains modern riding and equipment can put on the headtube, all without adding unnecessary weight. It allows tapered forks to be fitted with ease and delivers precise and confidence-inspiring steering.


INTERNAL CABLE ROUTING
Running the brake and gear cables inside the frame protects them from the elements, gives a clean and neat look and can offer aerodynamic advantages.


WIRE PORT
All control cables like gear, brake and dropper post cable enter the frame through a specifically shaped headset cap, cleaning up the cockpit area while also keeping them out of harm's way. Only the internally routed cable for the rear shock lockout enters the frame directly into the top tube for extra smooth lockout action.


DISC COOLER
DISC COOLER is a finned piece of forged aluminium that sits between the brake calliper and fork. The aluminium piece helps to draw heat from the braking system and radiates it away quickly. It reduces the temperatures by up to 35% and helps to keep your brakes working at their best for improved control and performance on long descents and under heavy braking.


F-MOUNT
Being able to turn your bike into an all-weather commuter that has mudguards and other fittings can be a real plus, in particular when riding on wet and perhaps muddy roads and tracks on a regular basis. To make fitting easy, some of our bikes are F-MOUNT equipped. These integrated fittings mounts make adding mudguards fast and simple.

Merida Scultura Endurance 400 review, Cycling Plus magazine, January 2024:
Verdict:
"Often bikes below £2000 are overly compromised by budget components and excess weight, but not this one...it's one of the best sub-£2000 bikes I've tested, and one of the best aluminium frames around too."
4.5 stars
