Equipped with the same tried-and-true, award-winning CF3 carbon frame as its \"big brothers,\" it features the latest Shimano 105 12-speed groupset that offers precise shifting and braking. The proven WIRE PORT cable management system keeps the cockpit free of cables and helps give the bike a super sleek overall appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe SCULPTURE ENDURANCE is the perfect choice for discerning cyclists who want to enjoy long hours in the saddle while remaining comfortable and relaxed on the bike. Wide tires provide comfort, even on pothole-filled country roads, while a longer head tube offers a more relaxed riding position. An instant hit with the international cycling press, and in addition to receiving an award for \"comfort\" from RennRad, it also managed to receive a long list of compliments such as \"excellent comfort,\" \"confidence-inspiring,\" \"lively feel,\" and \"fun\" from leading cycling media such as Gran Fondo, Cyclingnews, Cyclingtips, and Road.cc. Compared to its SCULPTure namesake, the ENDURANCE has more comfort-oriented geometry, ample tire space, and seamless integration of the latest standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight CF3 carbon frame with comfort orientated geometry and confidence inspiring handling.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eShimano 105 12-speed groupset.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eMERIDA EXPERT CW stem and MERIDA EXPERT SL handlebar combo.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eMERIDA carbon seat post.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eMaxxis Re-Fuse 32 mm tyres.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eUnder-saddle pouch with MERIDA multitool.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrame\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eSCULPTURE ENDURANCE CF3 II\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: carbon\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e700x35C max.\/ 700x32C (with fender) max. wheelsize\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e100x12\/ 142x12 mm standard axle\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eBottom Bracket: Shimano SM-BB71-41B, Pressfit 86.5 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ePivots: MERIDA EXPERT TR \/ MERIDA EXPERT SL, including removable lever, 6\/4 mm allen key\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFork\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eSCULTURA ENDURANCE CF3 disc\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: carbon\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e700x35C max. wheelsize\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrakes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eShimano 105, Hydraulic disc\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eDiscs: Shimano RT54, 160 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCockpit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eHeadset: MERIDA 8151\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eHandlebar: MERIDA EXPERT SLII (aluminum), 380 mm(XXS) , 400 mm (XS-S) , 420 mm (M-L) , 440 mm (XL)\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eStem: MERIDA EXPERT CW (aluminum), 31.8 mm diameter, -7° stem angle, 80 mm-XXS, 90 mm-XS, 100 mm-S\/M, 110 mm-L, 120 mm-XL\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eHandlebar tape:MERIDA ROAD Expert\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eSeatpost:MERIDA EXPERT CC, 27.2 mm diameter, 15 mm setback, Carbon\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eSeatpost clamp:MERIDA EXPERT\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eSaddle:MERIDA COMP SL, V-mount, incl.

This makes the rear end more comfortable, can improve power delivery and has a positive impact on rider fatigue. In particular, on performance bikes that are ridden over long distances and uneven surfaces, this can have a great effect on the overall riding performance and enjoyment.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eX-Taper Headtube\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSteering precision is vital to safe and confident handling, and the X-TAPER HEADTUBE allows to significantly boost this precision. A larger headset diameter at the bottom paired with a smaller one at the top helps to deal with the strains modern riding and equipment can put on the headtube, all without adding unnecessary weight. It allows tapered forks to be fitted with ease and delivers precise and confidence-inspiring steering.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInternal Cable Routing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn the majority of our frames, we run the gear and brake cables and hoses through the frame. The cables enter and exit the frame through smooth sockets, or we use one of our other systems like SMART ENTRY or WIRE PORT to be routed through. Running the cables inside the frame protects them from the elements, gives a clean and neat look and can offer aerodynamic advantages.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDI2 READY\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eShimano's Di2 electronic shifting system offers fast, smooth and reliable shifting. In particular, in the road world, it has proven itself as the primary choice when top performance is at the top of the agenda. With that in mind, we have a broad selection of performance road frames that are Di2 READY and can accommodate the electrical cable, battery and other little tweaks that the system requires.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNano Matrix Carbon\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNANO MATRIX CARBON is a special kind of carbon fibre where we add extremely tiny, nano-scale particles to the resin that binds the individual carbon fibres together. These then work on a molecular level to protect them from damage. It’s so effective that it can actually increase the finished carbon fibre’s impact resistance by up to 40%, allowing us to build stronger and lighter composite frames that result in a faster and tougher bike.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAWS Anti Wrinkle System\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a method we use to manufacture our carbon fibre frames. First, the carbon fibre that makes up the frame is laid around special formers. We then use a bladder to compress the layers against the outside of the frame mould, giving a smooth and wrinkle-free internal finish, removing any voids in between the layers of carbon that can cause potential weak points, resulting in a stronger, lighter frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisc Cooler\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUsed on our carbon fibre road and gravel bikes, DISC COOLER is a finned piece of forged aluminium that sits between the brake calliper and frame. The aluminium piece helps to draw heat from the braking system and radiates it away quickly. It reduces the temperatures by up to 35% and helps to keep your brakes working at their best for improved control and performance on long descents and under heavy braking.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInternal Clamp\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen every second counts, the smallest of details can make the difference between winning and losing, so we look at every aspect of our frames to make them as sleek as possible. By using a seat post clamping mechanism that secures the post with a wedge inside the frame itself, we minimise the turbulence and potential drag while keeping post height adjustment simple, giving a frame that is more aerodynamic and also better looking.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWire Port\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMERIDA designed headsets that enable all control cables from the handlebar to enter the frame through the headset cover, creating a clean and uncluttered look, allowing for a lighter, stronger and more aerodynamic frame structure than with conventional cable ports. Depending on the model, the cables are run completely internally (including the bar and stem) or semi-integrated, where the cables enter the frame underneath the stem.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRemovable F-MOUNT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA special, removable piece fitted to the seat stay bridge that can be attached to the bike to allow full mudguards to be fitted easily for protection from water and dirt, but also completely removed to increase tyre clearance and give a clean, sleek look to the bike when full guards are no longer needed. This gives the bike the benefit of full mudguards when required but no unsightly mounts when they are not.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Merida Bikes","offers":[{"title":"Silk Dark Silver - Black \/ XXS","offer_id":43810439626826,"sku":"A62411A02536","price":3107.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silk Dark Silver - Black \/ XS","offer_id":43810439659594,"sku":"A62411A02537","price":3107.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silk Dark Silver - Black \/ S","offer_id":43810439692362,"sku":"A62411A02538","price":3107.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Matt Evergreen - Silver Green \/ XS","offer_id":43810439725130,"sku":"A62411A02543","price":2977.48,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Matt Evergreen - Silver Green \/ S","offer_id":43810439757898,"sku":"A62411A02544","price":2977.48,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Matt Evergreen - Silver Green \/ M","offer_id":43810439790666,"sku":"A62411A02545","price":2977.48,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0719\/5544\/7882\/files\/zm_20231228-092122.jpg?v=1784139449","url":"https:\/\/novasportsbikes.store\/products\/merida-scultura-endurance-4000-ii2-shimano-105-bike-1","provider":"Nova Sports Bikes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
