Versatile gravel bike designed for adventure and all-road performance

The Merida Silex 400 2026 is a standout gravel bike, perfect for riders seeking a blend of off-road capability and road-going speed. Built around a high-quality Lite II aluminium frame and a carbon fork, this bike delivers nimble, confidence-inspiring handling on all surfaces. Equipped with the reliable Shimano GRX 400 groupset, it ensures precise shifting and powerful hydraulic disc braking for complete control on long rides, rough trails, or mixed terrain adventures.

Designed from the ground up for the road less travelled, the Silex 400 features modern MTB-inspired geometry with a long top tube, extended head tube, and short stem, making off-road riding more stable and fun. The frame is packed with practical features, including five sets of bottle bosses, rack mounts for luggage, internal routing for dropper posts, and compatibility with dynamo systems, making it ready for extended adventures or bikepacking. Hydraulic disc brakes with 180mm rotors, chainstay-mounted calipers, and heat-dissipating features on carbon forks provide safe, consistent stopping power even when fully loaded.
