SCULTURA ENDURANCE GR 500 named 'All-round Tip' in RennRad magazine

In Germany's RennRad magazine's latest all-road, endurance and gravel test (09/2025), our aluminium model SCULTURA ENDURANCE GR 500 proved its worth and skilfully took centre stage as the 'all-round tip'. 

The all-road and endurance bike, which visually resembles a 'comfort-oriented road bike' with a light gravel setup, impressed with a full score (10 out of 10 possible points), particularly in the areas of smoothness, comfort and downhill performance. 

The seating position is "quite upright, compact and hardly stretched". Thanks in part to the fairly long head tube, the SCULTURA ENDURANCE GR offers "great riding pleasure, especially on winding descents". "Compared to the other models in the test field", the bike's "riding comfort" is "top notch". The wide, puncture-proof Terra Speed tyres from Continental play a crucial role in this. In addition, Shimano's beginner-friendly GRX group scored points with its wide range of gears suitable for mountains and off-road riding, as well as its excellent braking performance.

EDITOR'S CONCLUSION:
"The MERIDA SCULTURA ENDURANCE GR 500 is a sporty gravel bike that performs well on both easy terrain and the road. Its smoothness and agility are top-notch."
