Merida Silex 7000 Gravel Bike - Black (Bronze/Gold)

Description 

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. Merida 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.

The SILEX 7000 pairs it’s incredibly off-road capable CF2 II carbon frame and fork with Shimano’s benchmark GRX 12-speed mechanical groupset and a reliable Easton EA70 AX aluminium wheelset to deliver a high-performance but superb value gravel adventure machine. Whether you’re heading into the unknown or exploring your backyard, their blend of multi-mount versatility and confident mountain bike-inspired handling will have you covered.
