Merida Silex 700 2024

The Merida Silex 700 Gravel Bike is Merida's top-end aluminium all-road and gravel bike that comes ready for back lane adventures, gravel roads, and forest trails. Featuring a Merida Lite II lightweight aluminium frame, this model comes with all the fixing points for luggage, water bottles, fenders, and rear racks. The Carbon CF2 fork increases ride comfort and precision in your steering no matter the terrain and the gravel-specific 12 speed, 10-51 gear range of the Shimano GRX groupset is perfect for faster flat sections and long climbs. The gravel-specific Shimano GRX hydraulic disc brakes offer superior stopping power in all weather and terrain, and the Maxxis Rambler tyres offer great grip for offroad rides. Not only does the Silex 700 feel at home on roads and paths for daily commutes, it seamlessly transitions to weekend gravel grinds, bikepacking trips and forest trails. 

The Silex 700's geometry draws inspiration from modern mountain bikes for a ride experience that's amazingly comfortable and incredibly nimble thanks to a long top tube, long head tube, and a short stem. The Silex has confidence-inspiring handling in spades and, due to its renown for comfort,  it's a popular choice amongst both the gravel crowd and the comfort-focused road and commuting community. The Silex 700 also offers amazing style with its sleek design and internal cable routing that leaves your cockpit uncluttered and clear.
