{"product_id":"merida-silex-7000-bik-1","title":"Merida Silex 7000 2026","description":"\u003ch2\u003eEvery wondered what’s over that horizon?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SILEX 7000 is the perfect way to find out. Incredibly off-road capable carbon frame and fork are paired with Shimano’s benchmark GRX 12-speed mechanical groupset and a reliable Shimano WH-RX180 aluminium wheelset to deliver a high-performance but superb value gravel adventure machine. With countless top test results, industry awards and test wins under its belt, the SILEX 7000 has convinced gravel enthusiasts, bikepackers and the international cycling press that it is the perfect bike for discoving the path unknown and making every roads yours.\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 12-speed gravel groupset, Shimano WH-RX180 wheels\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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFork: MERIDA SILEX II CF2, Tapered, material: carbon, 700x47C max. wheelsize\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrakes: Shimano GRX820, Disc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscs: Shimano RT64, 180mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeadset: Acros ICR MERIDA external neck w\/diecast splitring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandlebar: 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, incl.
