The SILEX 200 is the entry to our world of adventure gravel riding, with our high-quality aluminium frame and lightweight carbon fork paired with affordable but durable components, such as a Shimano 1x8-speed ESSA drivetrain and grippy, comfortable 45 mm Maxxis tyres. It’s the perfect weekday companion that turns into a willing partner in crime for big weekend bikepacking adventures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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, 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 option\u003cimg\u003es, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAward winning aluminium 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 ESSA 1x8-speed drivetrain and MERIDA finishing kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMerida 2026 Silex 200\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrame\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: XS, SM, MD\u003cbr\u003eColour: Low Key Green\u003cbr\u003eFrame: SILEX LITE II, MAT aluminium, 700x45C max.WHS, 100x12\/142x12 AST, BSA BBR,\u003cbr\u003eFork: MERIDA SILEX II CF2, Tapered, MAT carbon, 700x47C max.
