MERIDA SILEX 4000 GRAVEL CARBON

GRAVEL MERIDA SILEX 4000 CARBON

Riding without looking at the watch has a special charm. The geometry of the Gravel SILEX, inspired by the most modern mountain bikes, combined with a frame in the purest road style is the most versatile bike we have at MERIDA. In fact, the SILEX has created a new concept within the brand, opening up a world of possibilities for those looking for adventure and fun on two wheels. Either to make the secure greenway of Eurovelo 8, or to take a Tour through the Eastern Pyrenees and its DFCIs, or simply to go out in your region or be able to combine tracks, roads and trails. SILEX is designed to adapt to all media.

We wanted to develop the most versatile bike. A bike that changed the perception of what you can do with thin wheels and handlebars in true road style. In short, a bike that offers unlimited possibilities for fun. In reality, the spirit of SILEX is that everyone personalizes it and assembles it according to their preferences.

You prefer a flat handlebar because it is more comfortable or because it gives you more control. There is no problem.

You prefer mountain biking and want more grip and safety on roads and trails ... Fit 27.5 and 2.2 wheels.

Speed ​​is better for you. Ride on 700 and 35C wheels with road handlebars and fly on asphalt. The frame, which is the only element common to any interpretation of SILEX weighs 950g and is the perfect base for you to let yourself be guided by your feelings.

Mountain or city ... or both at the same time. SILEX adapts to any environment. If you are adventurous you like to explore the unknown, ride on 27.5 x 2.2 wheels and venture out into the world. You are more urban ... Mount a rack and a flat handlebar and make SILEX your best means of transport.

SILEX does not really belong to a category. There are several categories on the same bike. you could say it's the swiss army knife of cycling.
