Whether embarking on a multi-surface training ride, a dedicated gravel spin, a bike packing adventure, or simply finding out where this road or track takes you, Merida’s Silex will be by your side. The Silex 4000 is the first carbon model in the line-up, featuring the same test and award-winning nano matrix full carbon frame as its two bigger brothers but, due to clever component choice, comes in at a very attractive price. The comfortable and stable MTB inspired geometry is perfect for long trips in the saddle, while integrated mounts for fenders and a rear carrier add out of the box versatility for bike packing adventures. This bike loves fast sessions on tarmac as much as rugged gravel climbs thanks to Shimano’s dedicated 2x10 speed GRX gravel groupset,. Matching Shimano GRX hydraulic disc brakes are custom tuned for the rigors of adventure riding. 700c wheels are fitted with capable yet fast-rolling gravel tyres allowing the Silex to cover ground easily, whatever the surface.
