The second generation of the Merida Silex builds on the success of its predecessor, which was celebrated for its innovative design and versatility. By starting with a modern MTB-inspired geometry, the Silex features longer top and head tubes combined with a shorter stem, providing nimble handling and confidence on challenging trails.
With a slacker 1.5-degree head angle and larger volume tyres, the Silex 7000 is more capable off-road, making it perfect for adventure seekers and racers alike. It retains five sets of bottle bosses and features rack mounting points on the aluminium frame for versatile luggage options, making it ideal for any adventure.
Just before its launch, Matej Mohoric proved the Silex's capabilities by winning the 2023 Gravel World Championships, showcasing its off-road prowess.
The new fork design allows for easy swapping to a suspension fork without affecting geometry, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing profile. All Silex models (excluding the 200) come with powerful hydraulic disc brakes and 180mm rotors, with calipers mounted on the chainstay for efficient heat dissipation.
The carbon models also feature CNC-machined aluminium Disc Cooler fins, which reduce brake temperatures by up to 35%, a crucial advantage when carrying heavier loads.
Whether you're racing or exploring, the Merida Silex 7000 Gravel and Adventure Bike is built for the road less traveled, blending comfort, performance, and style for an unforgettable riding experience.
