MERIDA SILEX 7000

An extremely capable carbon frame and fork are paired with a reference Shimano GRX 12-speed mechanical groupset and reliable Easton EA70 AX aluminum wheels to create a high-performance, yet cost-effective machine for gravel adventures. Whether you're venturing into the unknown or exploring your surroundings, the combination of multi-mount versatility and confident mountain bike-inspired handling is there for you.

The SILEX turns every ride into an adventure, whether you're heading out for a multi-day bikepacking trip or just a fun ride to work. The latest version builds on the pedigree of the original SILEX, which won multiple tests, but adds even better off-road performance thanks to a smaller head angle and more room for tires up to 700×45mm or even 42mm with fenders . Merida has combined confident mountain bike-inspired handling with versatility on any surface, so the bike is absolutely stable even when loaded down with luggage, but still fast and fun when you lean into it.

Sleek WIRE PORT cable routing for a nicer look - and fewer cables to snag on your handlebar bag - and the carbon fibre fork used on all models now has multiple luggage mounts, plus internal routing for a dyno hub. With the ability to use 1x or 2x gears, you can choose the configuration to suit the task at hand or your own preferences, opening up a world of possibilities for you and your SILEX.
