Merida Silex 700 Gravel Bike: The Ultimate Off-Road Companion

Discover the Merida Silex 700 Gravel Bike, designed with MTB-inspired geometry for enhanced stability and agility on rugged terrain.

  • Lightweight Aluminium Frame: Engineered for durability, equipped with the advanced Shimano GRX820 groupset for smooth shifting.
  • Carbon Fork: Features a tapered steerer for improved handling and responsiveness.
  • Easton EA70 Wheelset: Built for performance, ensuring reliable traction on various surfaces.
  • Hydraulic Disc Brakes: Offering exceptional stopping power and control, even in challenging conditions.
  • 12mm Bolt Through Axles: Enhancing frame rigidity and overall ride quality.

The second generation of the Merida Silex builds on the success of its predecessor, which was praised for its innovative design and comfort. With a longer top tube and slacker head angle, the Silex 700 excels in both racing and adventure riding. It’s designed for those who embrace the spirit of exploration.

Equipped with five sets of bottle bosses and rack mounting points, the Silex 700 is ready for any adventure, accommodating various luggage options. It also supports internal routing for dropper posts and dynamo systems.

A standout moment for the Silex came when Matej Mohoric claimed victory at the 2023 Gravel World Championships, showcasing its impressive off-road capabilities.

The updated fork design allows for a suspension fork upgrade without altering geometry, enhancing both performance and aesthetics. Hydraulic disc brakes with 180mm rotors ensure powerful braking, while flat-mount calipers provide a sleek, integrated look. On carbon models, innovative Disc Cooler fins help reduce operating temperatures by up to 35%, particularly beneficial for fully loaded rides.

Experience the versatility and performance of the Merida Silex 700 Gravel Bike, your perfect partner for adventures off the beaten path.
