The Merida Silex 700 Gravel Bike is an all-road and gravel bike ready for back lane adventures, gravel roads, and forest trails. Featuring the same lightweight aluminium frame as pricier models, it includes mounting points for luggage, water bottles, fenders, and rear racks, making it adventure-ready. The Carbon CF2 fork enhances ride comfort and steering precision across terrains, while the Shimano 1x12 drivetrain is ideal for flats and climbs. Shimano GRX hydraulic disc brakes provide superior stopping power, and Maxxis Rambler tires ensure great off-road grip. The Silex 700, inspired by modern mountain bike geometry, boasts a long top tube, head tube, and short stem for comfort and nimbleness. This bike seamlessly transitions from daily commutes to weekend gravel grinds, bikepacking trips, and forest trails, combining style, comfort, and functionality.
