The Merida Scultura Endurance GR 8000

The perfect partner for gravel gran fondos

Ideal for fast gravel races, gravel gran fondos, or rough, fast roads: Our proven carbon endurance road bike frame meets uncompromising gravel-racing components. The SCULTURA ENDURANCE GR 8000 combines the comfort and efficiency DNA of our award-winning CF3 carbon endurance frame with a high-quality gravel setup – for maximum speed with exceptional control. Equipped with fast-rolling Continental Terra Speed 35 mm tires, a flared handlebar for enhanced control, and the lightweight MERIDA TEAM GR30 carbon wheelset, this bike is clearly designed for performance. The wireless SRAM Force AXS 2x12 drivetrain offers a huge gear range with closely spaced ratios – perfect for maintaining a high pace even on changing terrain. The ideal tool for gravel gran fondos or fast, demanding routes away from perfect asphalt.

Gravel, but faster.

The SCULTURA ENDURANCE is the perfect choice for both recreational and ambitious riders who want to enjoy long days in the saddle comfortably and efficiently. Wide tires ensure a high level of comfort, even on poor roads or gravel sections, while the longer head tube allows for a relaxed, endurance-friendly riding position. Internationally acclaimed by the cycling press and awarded a "Comfort Award" by RennRad magazine, among others, media outlets such as Gran Fondo, Cyclingnews, Cyclingtips, and Road.cc praise the bike for its excellent comfort, confidence-inspiring handling, lively feel, and sheer fun factor. Compared to the road-oriented SCULTURA, the ENDURANCE offers a comfort-focused geometry, generous tire clearance, and seamless integration of modern standards. It positions itself between the SCULTURA and the adventure-oriented SILEX, while the SCULTURA ENDURANCE GR models are specifically designed for gravel racing with off-road tires and flared handlebars.
