The Merida Silex Plus 6000 is a high-performance gravel bike for the serious off-road rider that is after all the benefits of the sleekest road bike in an adventure bike. The CF2 carbon frame with upright gravel geometry for stable yet nimble handling is lightweight and tough so that it can handle some punishment on the gravel. This cutting-edge frame has the fibres bonded together with an epoxy resin and added nano particles, increasing impact resistance by up to 40% and protecting the integrity of the frame. While the cables are routed internally to maintain that sleek look and keep the cables safe from dirt and moisture. The frame is combined with a carbon fork to reduce weight and minimise the transfer of vibration from the road or gravel for a much smoother ride.

The 11 speed SRAM Force1 groupset provides simple and reliable shifting as the 1x setup reduces weight, moving parts and gives you all the gear range you need on an adventure bike. While the bike is equipped with SRAM Force1 hydraulic disc brakes so that you have control in any conditions, a noticeable improvement on rim brakes as you have complete control in all conditions. The Silex Plus 6000 is equipped with wide 27.5x45c mountain bike tyres which give you the ideal combination of speed and grip when you’re off the beaten track.

The Merida Silex Plus 6000 is a dynamic adventure road powerhouse which offers speed and efficiency with 27.5” wheels. This really is a fun and awesome gravel bike that offers a great riding experience on every single ride.
