The Merida Silex 700 Gravel Bike offers fast-rolling yet hugely off-road capable 700c wheels, triple butted aluminium frame, full carbon fork and Shimano’s gravel-specific GRX groupset are just some of the highlights of Meridas top-level aluminium gravel bike. The SILEX 700 is ready for your next overnighter, loves to see if it can keep up with your local chain gang and helps to turn your daily trip to work into an enjoyable fitness jaunt. The 700 is a real jack of all trades.There’s a certain beauty in just riding without watching the time, heading wherever you feel the urge. For those rides, the test and award-winning SILEX makes total sense; their most comfortable and versatile road bike ever. With its modern MTB inspired geometry, long top and head tubes and short stem, it offers nimble, confidence-inspiring handling. While often seen on extended gravel and rough road outings, as well as bikepacking trips, the SILEX also found a strong following in comfort-orientated road riding connoisseurs as well as commuters and city traffic weavers. The more rugged 650b wheeled alternative to the 700c SILEX has managed to obtain multiple test wins as well as comfort awards, and is coming back in the form of the fully loaded and wirelessly shifted SILEX+ LIMITED. The ‘classic’ 700c SILEX also impressed the press with the 400 securing a test win in Cycling Plus, being certified as having a ‘huge fun factor’, ‘superb riding position’ and ‘brilliant off-road handling’.Merida Silex 700 Gravel Bike HighlightsTriple butted aluminium frame and full carbon fork700c wheel for well balanced off and on-road capabilityInternal cable routing for a clean and easy to load frameComfort geometry for long hours in the saddleMTB inspired handling for superior off-road capabilityThree bottle cage positions and bosses for further luggage capacity on the fork legs
