The Merida Silex 700 stays true to its roots, its a gravel bike designed for adventure, not imitation. Rather than adapting road geometry, Merida started fresh, crafting the Silex with mountain bike-inspired proportions. A long top tube and head tube combine with a short stem for agile, confident handling, giving you better control when the terrain turns rough. The result is a gravel bike that feels stable on descents, responsive on climbs, and comfortable over long distances.Key Features:Lite II 6066 triple-butted aluminium frame, smooth welds, internal routing, up to 700x45c tyresCarbon CF2 fork with tapered steerer, clearance for 700x47C tyresShimano GRX820 12-speed drivetrain with wide-range 10-51T cassetteShimano GRX820 hydraulic disc brakes with 180mm rotorsShimano WH-RX180 700C wheelset, tubeless-ready aluminium rimsMaxxis Rambler 700x45C tyres with fast-rolling EXO protectionMultiple mounting points for bottles, racks, and luggage systemsAvailable with 0% APR financeThe Lite I
