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. The latest version builds on the test-winning pedigree of the original SILEX but adds even more off-road capability, thanks to a slacker head angle and boosted tyre clearance of up to 700x45 mm or even 42 mm with fenders. Merida combined that confident mountain bike-inspired handling with all-surface versatility so that it is utterly stable when loaded up with luggage but still fast and fun when you put the hammer down. Dreaming of big biking adventures doesn't mean you don't value the sensible. 

The SILEX 200 is your entry to the world of adventure gravel riding, with Merida’s high-quality aluminium frame and lightweight carbon fork paired with affordable but durable components, such as a Shimano 2x9-speed Sora drivetrain and grippy, comfortable 45mm Maxxis tyres. It’s the perfect weekday companion that turns into a willing partner in crime for big weekend bikepacking adventures.
