2026 Merida Silex 4000 – Adventure Ready Carbon Gravel Bike
The 2026 Merida Silex 4000 in Wild Honey (Black) is built for the road less travelled. With its CF2 carbon frame and MTB-inspired gravel geometry, it combines comfort, stability, and control whether you’re bikepacking across rough trails, cruising back lanes, or loading up for multi-day adventures.
Equipped with the highly acclaimed Shimano GRX 2x10 groupset, the Silex 4000 offers smooth, reliable shifting and the versatility of a wide gear range for steep climbs and fast descents. Stopping power is handled by Shimano GRX hydraulic disc brakes with large 180mm rotors and Merida’s Disc Cooler technology, ensuring consistent braking even on long, loaded descents.
The full carbon fork features mounting points for racks, cages, and dynamo hubs, while the frame itself comes with multiple attachment options – making it perfect for adventure bags and fenders. With clearance for up to 700x45c tyres (42c with mudguards) and rolling on Maxxis Rambler 45c tyres, comfort and traction are built in. The Reynolds G30 wheels complete the package, delivering reliability and strength for demanding terrain.
With its upright riding position, hidden cable routing, and adventure-focused touches, the Silex 4000 is ready for everything from local gravel loops to epic bikepacking expeditions.
