Merida Silex 7000 2025 - Gravel Bike
Progressive Gravel Geometry
The CF2 carbon frame is built around progressive gravel geometry, pairing a long top tube and short stem with a slacker head angle for composed, confident handling. This modern layout improves stability on rough terrain while retaining the agility needed for fast-paced road sections. With multiple mounting points for bottles, racks, and luggage, plus full mudguard compatibility, the Silex is primed for everything from bikepacking to all-weather commuting.
45mm Tyre Clearance
With generous tyre clearance, the Silex 7000 accommodates up to 45mm tyres for added comfort and traction on mixed terrain. The durable and lightweight Easton EA70 AX wheels keep the bike responsive, while the Maxxis Rambler tyres provide reliable grip and puncture protection across gravel, dirt, and tarmac. Together, this wheel and tyre setup let the bike roll efficiently on the road while staying sure-footed off-road.
Equipped with Shimano GRX820
Shimano’s GRX820 12-speed groupset delivers smooth, dependable shifting across varied gradients, giving you precise control whether you're climbing, cruising, or tackling technical tracks. Paired with powerful GRX hydraulic disc brakes and 180mm rotors, the Silex offers confident stopping performance in all conditions. This combination ensures the bike is as capable on rugged backroads as it is on long-distance adventure rides.

“ My first gravel bike, absolutely love it. Light but sturdy and reassuring, love the large rotors and stopping power. 1 x 12 gear ratios better than any bike I've owned, great for climbing and top speed on the road. Massive delivery box, one piece and simple to set up. Spent some time adjusting gears and checking all bolts some needing a tweak. Great value from a very good sale bargain. Two decent distance all terrain rides so far and just so impressed.
