Merida Silex 8000 2026

Adventure-Ready Gravel Performance

The Merida Silex 8000 2026 is built for riders who seek the road less travelled, offering unmatched versatility, stability, and performance for all-terrain adventures. Equipped with the latest 12-speed SRAM Apex AXS wireless electronic shifting, it delivers precise, effortless gear changes in any conditions, making it ideal for bikepacking, gravel expeditions, and off-road exploration.

Developed from the ground up with modern MTB-inspired geometry, the Silex combines a long top and head tube with a short stem for nimble yet confidence-inspiring handling. Its second-generation CF2 carbon frame integrates a revised fork design, allowing the option to fit a suspension fork without compromising geometry. With clearance for up to 700x45c tyres (700x42c with mudguards) and Disc Cooler technology to maintain braking efficiency, the Silex is ready for demanding routes and varied terrain.

Practicality meets adventure with five sets of bottle bosses, internal dropper post routing, and compatibility with dynamo lighting systems. The DT Swiss G 1800 SPLINE wheelset paired with Maxxis Rambler 700x45c tyres offers a smooth, grippy ride across loose gravel and rough tracks. Powerful hydraulic disc brakes with 180mm rotors and CNC-machined aluminium Disc Cooler fins provide consistent stopping power, even when fully loaded for long-distance tours.
