Sharp enough to cut it on the race circuit, comfortable enough for all-day gravel riding. The SCULTURA ENDURANCE GR 500 takes the proven geometry of our endurance road bike and marries it with a high-value aluminium frame, comfortable carbon fork and gravel-ready kit to deliver a bike that's happy to take on the course or just get the distance in on rough roads. Shimano's dependable GRX gravel groupset gives wide but tightly spaced ratios and a tubeless-ready wheelset gets Continental's fast but grippy Terra Speed tyres.
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.
