MERIDA SILEX 700 2022

OPIS

Top-end aluminium gravel and all-road bike with full carbon fork and gravel-specific GRX double chainring groupset from Shimano. The perfect machine for demanding bikepacking trips, extended training rides and daily riding duties.

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 our 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; our 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’.
