{"product_id":"merida-silex-4000-bike-1","title":"Merida Silex 4000 2026","description":"\u003ch2\u003eReady for adventures of any size.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Taipei Cycle d\u0026amp;i Award 2024 winning SILEX 4000 is the entry to carbon fibre framed lineup, pairing 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.\u003cbr\u003eThe 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, 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. We've 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. 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. We’ve added sleek WIRE PORT cable routing for improved looks – and fewer cables to catch on with 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, opening up a world of opportunity for you and your SILEX.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTest and award winning full carbon frame with dropped chainstay for 700x45 mm clearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultiple mounting points for cages, bags and fenders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWIRE PORT internal cable routing for clean looks and scuff free bag fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarbon fork with cargo mounting points and routing for dynamo hub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelaxed head angle and MTB-style geometry for off-road stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShimano GRX 2x10-speed gravel groupset\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eTech spec\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrame: SILEX CF2 II, material: carbon, 700x45C max.WHS, 100x12\/142x12mm axle standard, BSA bottom bracket standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrame size: XXS, XS, S, M, L, XL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFork: Merida SILEX II CF2, Tapered, material: carbon, 700x47C max. wheelsize\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrakes: Shimano GRX400, Disc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscs: Shimano RT54, 180mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeadset: Acros ICR MERIDA external neck w\/diecast splitring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandlebar bend: MERIDA EXPERT GR II, material: aluminum, 400mm (XXS-XS-S), 420mm (M), 440mm (L\/XL)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStem: MERIDA TEAM CC III, material: aluminum, 31.8mm diameter, -6° stem angle, 80 mm all sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrips: MERIDA ROAD EXPERT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront derailleur: Shimano GRX400\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear derailleur: Shimano GRX400\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShifters: Shimano GRX 400, disc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeatpost: MERIDA EXPERT SL, 27.2mm diameter, 0mm setback, Carbon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeatpost clamp: MERIDA EXPERT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaddle: MERIDA COMP SL, 22% recycled material, V-mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChain: KMC X10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCassette: Shimano Claris HG50, 11-36 teeth, 10 speed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBottom bracket: Shimano BB-RS501, 68mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRims: Reynolds Duroc G30, 622 28H, 26mm inner width, 17mm height\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHubs: Shimano TC500 \/ Shimano TC500-HM, 100x12mm width front hub, 28 spoke holes, Centerlock, 12x142mm width rear hub, 28 spoke holes, Centerlock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAxles: MERIDA EXPERT TR, including removable lever, 6\/4mm Allen key\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpokes: Black stainless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTires: Maxxis Rambler 45mm, 700x45C, fold, TR, EXO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer's\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003enotes\u003c\/strong\u003e: depending on component availability, specifications are subject to change without notice.
