Going on an adventure doesn’t mean you should deny every luxury, right? The Silex 10K is the ultimate expression of Merida’s gravel adventure bike, with our carbon fibre frame and fork paired to a dream-build-worthy kit list. The transmission mixes top-end mountain bike kit with the finest road parts to create a wireless SRAM AXS Red / X01 mix with a huge gear range and power meter equipped cranks, plus there’s a wireless Reverb XPLR dropper post for when the going gets rough. Reynolds carbon wheels and Industry Nine hubs are the final piece of the performance puzzle.
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. The latest version builds on the test-winning pedigree of the original Silex but adds even more off-road capability, thanks to a slacker head angle and boosted tyre clearance of up to 700x45 mm or even 42 mm with fenders. Merida combined that confident mountain bike-inspired handling with all-surface versatility so that it is utterly stable when loaded up with luggage but still fast and fun when you put the hammer down. Merida added their sleek WIRE PORT cable routing for improved looks – and fewer cables to catch on with a handlebar bag – and the carbon fibre fork now has more cargo mounts plus internal routing for a dynamo hub. With the ability to use 1x or 2x drivetrains, you can pick your gearing to suit the task at hand or your own personal preference, opening up a world of opportunity for you and your Silex.
