2024 Merida Silex 4000 Gravel Bike - Bronze/Gold/Black

Season:2024

Brand:Merida

Code:P-P445

The Merida Silex Carbon Gravel Bike is equipped with Shimano's GRX400 2x10 groupset and powerful hydraulic disc brakes, offering a top-tier ride for gravel enthusiasts. Designed with a second-generation frame, the Silex delivers the perfect balance between off-road capability and versatile adventure riding.

  • MTB-Inspired Gravel Geometry: Built with modern mountain bike-inspired geometry for enhanced off-road handling, featuring a longer top and head tube with a shorter stem for nimble, confidence-inspiring control.
  • Lightweight Carbon Frame: The carbon frame reduces weight while maintaining strength, providing a smooth ride on varied terrains.
  • Revised Fork Design: Gen 2 features a refined fork, allowing for suspension upgrades without affecting geometry, plus a visually more appealing front end with a shorter head tube.
  • Shimano GRX400 Groupset: The gravel-specific Shimano GRX400 2x10 groupset ensures precise shifting and reliable performance.
  • Hydraulic Disc Brakes: Equipped with 180mm rotors and hydraulic disc brakes for powerful, reliable stopping power. Calipers are mounted on the chainstay for better brake force dissipation and a sleek flat-mount fit.
  • CNCd Disc Cooler Fins: On carbon models, calipers rest on CNCd aluminium Disc Cooler fins, reducing operating temperatures by up to 35%, essential when fully loaded on long rides.
  • Adventure-Ready: Five sets of bottle bosses, internal routing for dropper posts, and dynamo system compatibility make the Silex perfect for long-distance adventures and bikepacking.
  • Proven Off-Road Capability: The Silex’s enhanced off-road performance is demonstrated by Matej Mohoric’s victory at the 2023 Gravel World Championships.

With a slacker head angle and wider tyres, the second-generation Merida Silex Carbon Gravel Bike is built for those who seek the road less traveled, offering comfort, versatility, and adventure-ready performance.
