Merida Silex 700 2026

Carbon Gravel Bike for Adventure and Exploration

The Merida Silex 700 2026 is a high-performance carbon gravel bike, engineered for riders who seek adventure beyond the tarmac. Equipped with Shimano’s acclaimed GRX 2×10 gravel-specific groupset and powerful hydraulic disc brakes, it delivers precise shifting, reliable stopping power, and outstanding control on varied terrain. Its second-generation CF2 carbon frame features modern MTB-inspired geometry, combining a long top and head tube with a short stem for nimble, confidence-inspiring handling on challenging trails.

Designed from the ground up for gravel exploration rather than adapted from road or cyclocross designs, the Silex 700 is a true go-anywhere machine. The updated fork design allows easy upgrades to a suspension fork without altering geometry, while five sets of bottle bosses and multiple luggage mounting points offer exceptional bikepacking potential. Fully compatible with internally routed dropper posts and dynamo lighting systems, it’s built for long-distance touring and rugged off-road adventures. The frame accommodates up to 700x47c tyres (42c with mudguards), ensuring excellent grip and comfort on rough surfaces.

This model comes fitted with Reynolds G30 wheels and Maxxis Rambler 700x45c tyres, offering a fast-rolling yet durable setup for mixed terrain. Merida’s Disc Cooler technology keeps braking temperatures up to 35% lower, maintaining consistent performance even when fully loaded. Every detail of the Silex 700 2026 has been refined for versatility, durability, and all-day comfort, making it a top choice for riders who want a capable gravel bike that’s ready for both epic adventures and daily rides.
