| Style | Ready for adventure, every day. With the latest Shimano 2x12 Di2 drivetrain, plus carbon Easton wheels married to Merida's high-end carbon frame, this is a gravel bike ready to take on anything. Solo bikepacking missions, multi-day races - or just putting in the miles in all conditions, all year round. The SILEX 8000 is designed to be mountain bike capable off-road, but with all the versatility our gravel adventure bike has been known for. The latest, gravel-specific Shimano GRX Di2 2x12-speed drivetrain offers a huge, closely spaced gear range with lightning-fast shifts under all conditions, while carbon fibre Easton EC70 AX wheels are tough and responsive. It's ready for adventure, every day. 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. With carbon and aluminium frame options, there's a SILEX to suit every budget, but all of them share the multiple mounting points that lend themselves so well to this drop-bar do-everything machine. SILEX features 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. Highlights - Lightweight carbon frame with dropped chainstay for 700x45mm clearance - Multiple mounting points for cages, bags and fenders - WIRE PORT internal cable routing for clean looks and scuff free bag fitting - Carbon fork with cargo mounting points and routing for dynamo hub - Relaxed head angle and MTB-style geometry for off-road stability - Wireless Shimano GRX Di2 2x12-speed gravel groupset - Easton EC70 AX carbon wheelset: wide, 24mm internal rims are optimised for gravel tyres 35mm and larger, giving you a more confident tyre stance for control on the ground during your expansive adventure rides, single track forays and unrelenting gravel races - Easton EC70 AX carbon handlebar with 16 degree flare for a wider stance in the drops that provides more control on rough terrain and long gravel assaults - Team SL carbon seatpost with S-Flex, providing extra compliance for a more comfortable ride - Under-saddle pouch with MERIDA multitool Details NANO MATRIX CARBON A special kind of carbon fibre where extremely tiny, nano-scale particles are added to the resin that binds the individual carbon fibres together. These then work on a molecular level to protect them from damage. It's so effective that it can actually increase the finished carbon fibre's impact resistance by up to 40%, allowing us to build stronger and lighter composite frames that result in a faster and tougher bike. X-TAPER HEADTUBE Steering precision is vital to safe and confident handling, and the X-TAPER HEADTUBE allows us to significantly boost this precision. A larger headset diameter at the bottom paired with a smaller one at the top helps to deal with the strains modern riding and equipment can put on the headtube, all without adding unnecessary weight. It allows tapered forks to be fitted with ease and delivers precise and confidence-inspiring steering. INTERNAL CABLE ROUTING Running the brake and gear cables inside the frame protects them from the elements, gives a clean and neat look and can offer aerodynamic advantages. DISC COOLER Used on our carbon fibre road and gravel bikes, DISC COOLER is a finned piece of forged aluminium that sits between the brake calliper and frame. The aluminium piece helps to draw heat from the braking system and radiates it away quickly. It reduces the temperatures by up to 35% and helps to keep your brakes working at their best for improved control and performance on long descents and under heavy braking.
