Merida 2026 Silex 9000

The journey is the destination - but there's no harm in getting there quickly. A lightweight carbon frame and fork with MTB-inspired geometry can tackle the toughest trails, while the lightweight Reynolds carbon wheels and electronic Shimano drivetrain offer precision and pace.

Gravel in style. The SILEX 9000 offers a top tier kit list built around our lightweight, full-carbon gravel adventure frame. With 45 mm Maxxis tyres, lightweight Reynolds ATR carbon wheels and a swift shifting electronic Shimano GRX Di2 1x12-speed drivetrain, it's capable of tackling serious terrain at maximum speed. Mountain bike-inspired geometry means it'll stay planted no matter what the path throws at it, while multiple mounting points means continent-crossing journeys are yours for the taking.

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. With multiple test wins, press accolades, industry awards and even a World Championship title under its belt, our 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 our 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.
