Ready for adventures of any size.
The Taipei Cycle d&i Award 2024 winning SILEX 4000 is the entry to their carbon fibre framed lineup, pairing a lightweight frame and fork with high-value equipment such as the utterly durable 10-speed Shimano GRX drivetrain with a double chainset for climb-anything ability. Tough, tubeless-ready Maxxis Rambler tyres plus mountain bike-inspired geometry provide a predictable and planted connection to the ground while quality MERIDA finishing kit delivers performance without needing any fanfare.
The SILEX turns any ride into an adventure, whether you’re on a multi-day gravel bikepacking mission or just taking the fun route to work. With multiple test wins, press accolades, industry awards and even a World Championship title under its belt, the SILEX takes the off-road capability of gravel bikes to new heights, thanks to a slacker head angle and boosted tyre clearance of up to 700x45 mm or even 42 mm with fenders. Combined with confident mountain bike-inspired handling and all-surface versatility, it is utterly stable when loaded up with luggage but still fast and fun when you put the hammer down.
With carbon and aluminium frame options, there's a SILEX to suit every budget, but they all share the multiple mounting points for fork cages, water bottles and accessories and other features that make this drop-bar do-everything machine so versatile. Sleek WIRE PORT cable routing improves looks and reduces cables catching on a handlebar bag, and the carbon fibre fork used on all models now has more cargo mounts plus internal routing for a dynamo hub. With the ability to use 1x or 2x drivetrains, you can pick your gearing to suit the task at hand or your own personal preference.
