Built around the Rival wireless groupset from SRAM, our SCULTURA ENDURANCE RIVAL EDITION take the already super clean lines of our more comfort-focused road bike to the next level. The remaining cables enter the frame through our WIRE PORT headset cap, keeping the cockpit area super organised. Increased clearance allows comfort-improving 35 mm wide tyres to be fitted. Various fixing points help turn our test and award-winning SCULTURA ENDURANCE into the perfect winter or commuting road bike.
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.
Highlights:
- Comfortable, confidence inspiring geometry
- Carbon frame and fork
- 2 x 12 SRAM Rival AXS wireless transmission
- Maxxis Re-Fuse season 32c tyres
- Carbon S-Flex seat post
