Off Road Focused Geometry
The second generation Silex evolves the original concept with a slacker head angle and clearance for bigger volume tyres. The long top tube, short stem and stable front end deliver confident handling on rough terrain while maintaining the comfort and versatility the Silex is known for.
Adventure Ready Design
All frames feature five sets of bottle bosses and full luggage compatibility, giving you the freedom to load up for multi day rides. Internal routing supports dropper posts and dynamo systems, making the Silex a capable partner for remote routes and long expeditions.
Updated Fork and Brake Performance
A revised fork design allows riders to switch to a suspension fork without altering the geometry. Hydraulic disc brakes with 180mm rotors provide strong, consistent stopping power, while carbon models use CNCd aluminium Disc Cooler fins to reduce heat build up on demanding descents.
Proven Capability
The Silex platform has already shown its off road pedigree, including a standout win at the 2023 Gravel World Championships. The updated design enhances its capability while delivering a cleaner, more balanced front end and improved overall ride feel.
