Merida SILEX 400 (2026) – Oak Bork

The Merida SILEX 400 is the undisputed queen of versatile gravel. A multi-award winner for design and geometry, the 2026 version introduces the sophisticated Oak Bark colorway—a natural tone inspired by woodland oak bark, perfect for blending into forest trails. Whether you are planning a multi-day bikepacking expedition or a fast blast on local white roads, the SILEX offers unparalleled stability and comfort thanks to its iconic mountain bike-inspired geometry.

Gravel bike featuring a triple-butted aluminum frame and a full carbon fork. Equipped with a Shimano GRX 400 2x10 groupset, hydraulic disc brakes, and exceptional tire clearance of up to 47mm (700c). The ultimate companion for any adventure.

Technical & Exclusive Details

• Maximum Tire Clearance: One of the SILEX 400's greatest strengths is its ability to accommodate tires up to 700x45c (stock) and even 700x47c depending on the rim profile. This allows you to tackle extremely rough terrain with lower pressures, significantly increasing grip and vibration damping.

• Confidence-Inspiring Geometry: A long head tube paired with a short stem provides an upright, secure riding position. This is ideal for those covering long distances or navigating technical off-road descents where visibility and control are paramount.

• Adventure-Ready: The frame and fork are equipped with multiple mounting points for bottle cages, fork bags (Anything Cages), and mudguards, transforming it into a true trekking machine.

• CF2 Carbon Fork: The high-quality carbon fork doesn't just save weight; it effectively absorbs off-road chatter, reducing arm fatigue during long rides.
