Merida Silex 400 - Nearly New - XL 2023 - Gravel Bike
This Silex 400 - Nearly New - XL gravel bike is rated the highest possible grade which reflects that the bike is in excellent condition and can be reasonably considered to be like new. Having never been ridden, the only minor cosmetic marks are on the fork and rear axle lever.
To ensure this bike meets our high standards for quality, it has undergone a thorough inspection by our professional mechanics. As with all our bikes, it comes with a 12-month Tredz warranty, plus any additional manufacturer warranty which may apply.
The Merida Silex 400 combines the fun factor of gravel bikes with the comfortable riding position, making the Silex great for both on and off-road. Rather than taking a road or cyclocross bike and re-jigging the recipe, the starting point for the Silex was modern MTB inspired geometry; long top and head tubes and a short stem, offering nimble, confidence-inspiring handling. The Silex has been hailed as the most comfortable and versatile bike Merida has ever made.

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. So much so, that the Silex 400 was voted the Test Winner by Cycling Plus magazine.
The bike has five sets of bottle bosses and rack mounting points offering multiple luggage carrying options. All Silex models are equipped with powerful hydraulic disc brakes. Calipers are mounted on the chainstay for better dissipation of braking forces using the flat-mount standard for a neat, flush fit. Calipers sit on top of CNCd aluminium Disc Cooler fins, reducing operating temperatures by up to 35%; particularly important when running fully

* Mountain bikes are sized differently to road bikes. Typically, they are sized in inches as the first MTBs were produced in the USA. European brands like Lapierre and Haibike like to use centimetres for all their bikes. The measurements of their mountain bikes doesn’t match their road bikes but are like a simple conversion from the inches measurement. This is why we have included cm measurements in brackets for the Mountain bike column.
Read our bike size guide for more information on sizing.
