Merida Silex 7000 Gravel Bike In Black/Bronze/Gold

Discover the unknown with the SILEX 7000.

The SILEX 7000 is the perfect way to find out what's over the horizon. Incredibly off-road capable, its carbon frame and fork are paired with Shimano's benchmark GRX 12-speed mechanical groupset and a reliable Easton EA70 AX aluminium wheelset to deliver a high-performance, yet superb-value, gravel adventure machine.

The SILEX turns any ride into an adventure, whether you're on a multi-day gravel bikepacking mission or just taking the fun route to work. With multiple test wins, press accolades, industry awards, and even a World Championship title, the SILEX takes the off-road capability of gravel bikes to new heights. It features a slacker head angle and boosted tyre clearance of up to 700x45 mm or even 42 mm with fenders.

With carbon and aluminium frame options, there's a SILEX to suit every budget. All models share multiple mounting points for fork cages, water bottles, and accessories, making this drop-bar machine versatile. The sleek WIRE PORT cable routing enhances aesthetics and reduces cable snagging, while the carbon fibre fork features more cargo mounts and internal routing for a dynamo hub.
