If you are looking for an affordable road bike with a super comfortable geometry and ample tyre clearance so that you could even run 35 mm wide tyres (including fenders), then look no further. The SCULTURA ENDURANCE 300 combines a beautifully made 6066 aluminium frame, featuring the same comfort orientated geometry as its carbon relatives and a full carbon fork for added vibration absorption with a reliable Tiagra 10-speed groupset.
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.
