Silex 400 Gravel Bike

The Merida Silex 400 Gravel Bike is the ultimate versatile, adventure-ready bike. It is ready for anything! So whether you are a gravel guy, commuter, or just wanna take the bike out to train in all weather conditions on all terrain, then instead of having several bikes, you can satisfy your adventurous spirit with just one all-round perfect bike...the Silex! It is kitted out with a lightweight alloy frame, durable Shimano 2x10-speed GRX groupset and brakes and a light carbon fork. There is room for huge tyre clearance of 700 x 45 mm – or even 42 mm tyres with fenders. Have confidence on any type of terrain, gravel, road, or even trails. This bike handles the ascents and descents in style.

The SILEX turns any ride into an adventure, whether you’re on a multi-day gravel bikepacking mission or just taking the fun route to work. The latest version builds on the test-winning pedigree of the original SILEX but adds even more off-road capability, thanks to a slacker head angle and boosted tyre clearance of up to 700x45 mm or even 42 mm with fenders. We've combined that confident mountain bike-inspired handling with all-surface versatility so that it is utterly stable when loaded up with luggage but still fast and fun when you put the hammer down. With carbon and aluminium frame options, there's a SILEX to suit every budget, but all of them share the multiple mounting points, fender racks and other features that lend themselves so well to this drop-bar do-everything machine. We’ve added our sleek WIRE PORT cable routing for improved looks – and fewer cables to catch on with a handlebar bag – and the carbon fibre fork used on all models now has more cargo mounts plus internal routing for a dynamo hub. With the ability to use 1x or 2x drivetrains, you can pick your gearing to suit the task at hand or your own personal preference, opening up a world of opportunity for you and your Silex.
