Introducing our show-stopping, all-terrain Silex 700 from Merida - built for the adventurous cyclist. This Aluminium gravel bike is complete with Shimano's highly-regarded GRX810 groupset, a full carbon tapered fork, and hydraulic disc brakes; setting unrivalled standards for performance and reliability.

Unlike conventional designs, Merida’s Silex 700 is based on modern, MTB-inspired geometry. With long top and head tubes combined with a short stem, it provides agile and confidence-assuring handling, making it the perfect companion for off-road exploration or your next cycling adventure.

The Silex has obtained commendable acknowledgment from the press, praised as not only the most comfortable but also the most versatile bike our brand has ever produced. Highly commended by Cycling Plus for its "exceptional ride quality", as well as by IMB describing it as "a highly versatile bike", this model is one that keeps impressing time and again.

The Silex 700 is all about the freedom of the ride, the thrill of the journey, and not just the destination. With a fancy for the unpaved path and the winding trail, the Silex offers you the chance to break away from the beaten track and to experience cycling in its purest form.

This model comes with five sets of bottle bosses and multiple rack mounting points, offering various luggage carrying options for your expeditions. Its powerful hydraulic disc brakes are strategically located on the chainstay for superior dissipation of braking forces. What’s more, they employ the flat-mount standard for a sleek and flush fit, and sit atop CNCd aluminium Disc Cooler fins; reducing operating temperatures by up to 35% ー an especially handy feature for those fully-loaded treks.

Whether you're looking for a cycle to conquer your daily commute or planning the trek of a lifetime, the Silex 700 by Merida is ready to take on any terrain with you.
