{"product_id":"merida-silex-700-ii1-grx-bike-1","title":"Merida Silex 700 II1 GRX","description":"\u003cp\u003eDreaming of big bike adventures doesn't mean you don't appreciate what's real. The \u003cstrong\u003eSILEX 700\u003c\/strong\u003e uses Merida's incredible aluminum frame and a carbon fork to deliver adventure-ready performance at an affordable price. With a Shimano GRX 12-speed single crankset drivetrain, it offers precise shifting and powerful braking. Combined with proven mountain bike-inspired geometry and shock-absorbing 45mm tubeless-ready Maxxis tires, it performs as well on a backcountry adventure as it does in the daily grind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SILEX turns any trip into an adventure, whether you're taking part in a multi-day bikepacking trip or simply taking the most fun route to work. The latest version builds on the winning pedigree of the original SILEX but adds even more off-road capability, thanks to a more open steering angle and increased tire clearance of up to 700x45 mm or 42 mm when fenders are installed. With carbon and aluminum frame options, there is a SILEX to fit every budget, but they all share the multiple mounting points, fender mounts and other features that lend themselves so well to this all-rounder bike. WIRE PORT cable routing has been added for a cleaner, more modern design, and the carbon fiber fork used on all models now has multiple mounts for cargo and an internal passage set up for possible dynamo. With the ability to use 1x or 2x drivetrains, you can choose your drivetrain based on the task at hand or your personal preferences, opening up a world of opportunities for you and your SILEX.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAluminum 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 1x12-speed wide range gravel groupset.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrame\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSILEX LITE II\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e700x45C max. wheelsize\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100x12\/ 142x12 mm axle standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBottom bracket: Shimano SM-BBR60, BSA bottom bracket standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePivots: MERIDA EXPERT TR, including removable lever, 6\/4 mm allen key\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFork\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMERIDA SILEX II CF2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTapered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: carbon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e700x47C max. wheelsize\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrakes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShimano GRX820, Hydraulic disc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscs: Shimano RT64, 180 mm \/ 160 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCockpit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeadset: MERIDA 8158\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandlebar: MERIDA EXPERT GRII (aluminum), 400 mm (XS-S) , 420 mm (M) , 440 mm (L\/XL)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStem: MERIDA TEAM CC III (aluminum), 31.8 mm diameter, -6° stem angle, incl.
