Merida Silex 700 2023 - Gravel Bike
The Merida Silex 700 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.
Key Features:
- Lite Aluminium 6066 triple butted frame for complaint handling
- Silex CF2 Full Carbon fork ensures swift control
- Shimano GRX810 Hydraulic Disc Brakes for sharp braking
- Shimano GRX810 11 Speed Groupset offers all-year-round reliabilty
- Colours: Black/Anthractite
- Sizes: Small (47cm), Medium (50cm), Large (53cm), X Large (56cm)
- The Merida Silex 700 2023 is available with 0% APR finance
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 loaded.

Merida Silex 700 2023 - Gravel Bike
Brilliant bike, great spec. Fast on road and assured on gravel. Triple butted frame is as good or even better than carbon. Geometry perfect👍
