Experience the pinnacle of cycling innovation with the Merida Silex 400, a state-of-the-art bike designed to defy the conventions of cycling and redefine your riding experience. Constructed with a high-quality aluminium frame, this cutting-edge machine boasts a gravel-specific Shimano GRX400 2x10 groupset and hydraulic disk brakes to take on any terrain with incredible ease and precision.

The design of the Silex 400 is an inventive deviation from the traditional – rather than modifying an existing road or cyclocross bike, Merida embarked on a ground-up approach. Drawing inspiration from modern MTB geometry, this bike features long top and head tubes paired with a short stem. The result? Exceptional nimbleness and inspiring handling that instils confidence in every ride.

Upon its launch, the Silex 400 received high praises and was lauded as the most comfortable and versatile bike Merida has ever created. Verdicts from the cycling press echoed these sentiments, with accolades such as an “exceptional ride quality” (Cycling Plus), “a highly versatile bike” (IMB), and “the best bike of this genre” (Offroad CC).

There’s an unparalleled joy in just riding without the constraints of time and the Silex 400 is the perfect companion for these experiences. With a whopping five sets of bottle bosses and rack mounting points, this bike offers ample options for luggage carrying – ideal for those long, exploratory rides.

All Silex models are equipped with powerful hydraulic disc brakes that ensure superior stopping power in all conditions. Mounted on the chainstay, the calipers adopt the flat-mount standard for a sleek and clean look. The incorporation of CNCd aluminium Disc Cooler fins in the design significantly reduces operating temperatures by up to 35%, optimising performance especially when fully loaded.

Unleash your full cycling potential with the Merida Silex 400 – it’s not just a bike, it’s the ultimate fusion of technology, design, and passion for the ride.
