The Merida Scultura Endurance 400 is the ultimate beginner road bike. It combines the raw speed of the Scultura with the amazing comfort of the Silex to ensure every ride, even on the worst-kept back roads, are supple. Unsurprisingly, the Scultura Endurance range was an instant hit with the international cycling press with the Scultura Endurance being awarded the 'Comfort Award' by German cycling magazine RennRad. The Merida Scultura Endurance 400 features Merida's award-winning Endurance Lite aluminium frame, offering the comfort and stiffness of its 'bigger brothers' without the increased cost of carbon. Indeed, lightweight handling is still provided to make navigating roads easy, while the comfort-oriented geometry and longer head tube offer a more upright position. 

The Scultura Endurance 400 runs the ever-reliable 2x11 speed Shimano 105 groupset with a 50-34T crankset and 11-34 cassette. The workhorse of the Shimano range, the 105 groupset provides precise, reliable shifting on every ride without breaking the bank. Shimano 105 Hydraulic Disc Brakes give you control in all conditions, with responsive braking for enhanced control and confidence even on descents and in the wet. Merida has included their revised Expert carbon seatpost to accentuate the vibration damping of the Endurance Lite frame. It rolls on the lightweight Merida Expert SL DB Rims, and with the improved tyre clearance now on offer, the Scultura Endurance 400 comes standard with wide 700x32c Maxxis Detonator tyres for the perfect combo of speed and traction. The increased tyre clearance means the Endurance 400 can fit up to 35c tyres for the smoothest ride and maximum comfort. Merida has also gone to great lengths to provide integrated wiring for a neat and clean aesthetic for the Scultura Endurance 400.

The Scultura Endurance 400 offers leading-edge comfort thanks to the vibration dampening carbon fork and seatpost. The comfort-oriented geometry doesn't compromise on either speed or comfort, ensuring you can lead the bunch kilometre after kilometre. While class-leading integration and improved tyre clearance combine for a brilliantly versatile and capable ride built to go all day. The Merida Scultura Endurance 400 is a great value proposition for previously casual riders looking to upgrade to their first endurance racer.
