Carbon starts here in the endurance range. The Scultura Endurance 4000 uses the CF3 carbon frame and matching CF3 carbon fork, with Nano Matrix resin worked into the layup to improve impact resistance, and builds it up with a mechanical Shimano 105 groupset.
The geometry is what makes this bike worth a look if you are not chasing a race position. A longer head tube gives you a more upright, sustainable posture, while a slacker head angle and slightly longer wheelbase keep the bike calm at speed and forgiving late in a ride. Tyre clearance runs to 35c, or 32c with mudguards fitted, so you can fit larger volume rubber and run lower pressures on broken tarmac.
The frame details are tidy rather than showy. Cables route internally through the headset, the seat clamp is fully integrated, the rear seat stay bridge can be removed if you are not running mudguards, and the flat mount rear caliper sits on CNC machined aluminium Disc Cooler fins that the brand says cut brake operating temperatures by up to 35%. The rear end uses a 142 x 12mm axle and the bottom bracket is BB86 pressfit.
The build is 2 x 12 Shimano 105 throughout, with an 11-34 cassette, 50-34 chainset and 105 hydraulic disc brakes. Merida Expert SL III alloy rims are laced to Shimano TC500 Centerlock hubs and are tubeless ready, Maxxis RE-FUSE 32c tyres add some puncture protection for winter miles, and the seatpost is carbon. The stem includes a SMART MOUNT fitting for a computer or light.
