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 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 2 x 11, 11-34T 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 (with clearance to install up to 42mm 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. 

Hydroformed Tubes

Using their Hydro Forming System, Merida creates tubes that are strong yet lightweight. The tubes are inserted into a negative mold and a hot emulsion of water and oil is passed through them at pressure which enables them to be formed into complex shapes while still retaining strength.

Prolite 66 Triple Butted Aluminium

Using high-end 6066 aluminium and triple-butted wall thicknesses, this frame offers strength and durability without excess weight. The hydroforming technology helps to tune the aluminium tubes to give the best possible stiffness-to-weight ratio.

X-Taper Headtube

The X-tapered headtube on this bike provides room for a tapered fork to be fitted. Tapered forks provide superb stiffness and precise confidence-inspiring shifting, with this setup you'll be able to navigate streets and corners with ease!
