The Merida Silex 200 is the perfect introduction to dynamic gravel riding, the world of bike-packing and everything in between. You’ll find the Merida Silex 200 is as comfortable on the morning commute as it is offroad. The Silex CF2 carbon fork is light and absorbs feedback to minimise the rough feedback you can receive from gravel, while the durable alloy frame is comfortable and will get the job done every single day. The use of Shimano’s everyday Sora Groupset is a masterstroke by Merida, it’s Shimano’s most durable and reliable road offering, giving riders great efficiency and a wide range of gears optimised for multi-discipline riding. Naturally, Merida would expect you to be taking your Silex everywhere, so they’ve equipped Promax Mechanical Disc Brakes to give you the power and control you need for all-terrain, all-weather riding. To finish, the Silex 200 rides on wide 700 x 38c Maxxis Rambler Tyres to give you grip and confidence in your abilities, plus, thanks to the ability of the Silex CF2 fork, you can install up to 45c wide tyres! The Merida Silex 200 is the perfect introduction to Gravel Riding – it can do it all without so much as a bat of an eyelid.
The fork features a tapered steerer, you’ll have precise and confident steering. With carbon’s special properties you’ll gain great lateral stiffness for control and vertical tolerances which enable a more absorbent more comfortable ride. Best of both worlds!
This bike features a double front chainring meaning you’ll have full access to higher and lower gearing perfectly suited for dynamic rides across varying grades of terrain. You’ll have plenty of options to keep you steady up climbs and enough to keep you spinning comfortable on descents as well. With 2 chainrings at the front you’ll be prepared to take on any ride, short, steep, long or flat!
The mechanical disc brakes offer that extra stopping power so you can ride with confidence, even in areas with large hills or in wet weather.
The Merida Silex 200 is a fantastic introduction to gravel riding and can double as a comfortable, yet efficient commuter bike. The drop-barhandlebars make it ideally suited to a wide range of disciplines, while the slack seating position increases rider comfort significantly.
The Merida Silex 200 is a great value option. Although it is primarily a gravel model, it offers the efficiency and comfort of Merida’s Scultura Endurance range to ensure it’s just as suited on-road. The Silex CF2 Carbon Fork absorbs feedback, while the compliant alloy frame is lightweight and comfortable.
The Merida Silex 200 is for riders looking for a “do-it-all” kind of bike – one that can be used 7 days a week, 365 days a week, rain, hail or shine. The Silex 200 is no ordinary jack of all trades, it does everything well.
