🌄 2026 Merida Silex 700 – Elegant Wildberry (High Cream)
RRP: £2100
🚴♀️ The perfect balance of adventure, performance, and value.
The 2026 Merida Silex 700 takes everything that makes the Silex legendary – off-road confidence, adventure-ready versatility, and comfort on long rides – and packs it into a beautifully finished aluminium package.
With its robust 6066 triple-butted aluminium frame, full carbon fork, and Shimano GRX 1×12 gravel-specific groupset, the Silex 700 is built for riders who crave exploration without compromise. Whether you're tackling bridleways, bikepacking through the hills, or commuting in all seasons, this bike is as dependable as it is inspiring.
The updated Silex II platform uses MTB-inspired geometry for exceptional stability on technical trails, while retaining the agility and speed you expect on tarmac. A revised fork allows the use of a suspension fork without altering geometry, and with five bottle mounts, rack points, and internal dropper routing, it’s ready for any adventure you can dream up.
