Introducing the Merida Silex 4000, a carbon gravel bike is perfect for those adventurous rides, where the only direction you're heading is wherever the next turn takes you. It's been meticulously designed from the ground up, inspired by the modern geometry of a mountain bike to give it a nimble, confidence-inspiring performance.
From the moment it hit the market, this bike was praised as the most comfortable and versatile of Merida's creations. The cycling press wholeheartedly agreed, lavishing it with praise such as "exceptional ride quality" (Cycling Plus Magazine), "a highly versatile bike" (IMB) and "the best bike of this genre" (Offroad CC).
Equipped with Shimano's sought-after gravel-specific GRX400 2 x 10 groupset and hydraulic disc brakes, the Silex ensures both seamless gear shifting and controlled, powerful braking. The brake calipers are strategically mounted on the chainstay for optimal dissipation of braking forces and a sleek, flush fit. Additionally, these sit atop CNC'd aluminium Disc Cooler fins that significantly reduce operating temperatures by up to 35%, incredibly beneficial when cycling with a full load.
The Silex 4000's thoughtful design extends to your riding needs too. With five sets of bottle bosses and rack mounting points, this bike provides a range of luggage carrying options, to keep you well-equipped no matter your journey.
Embrace the beauty of unfettered, adventurous cycling with the Merida Silex 4000. Enjoy the freedom and versatility it brings to every form of terrain, be it on-road or off. Relish the exceptional ride quality and add a new dimension to your cycling experience.
