Merida SILEX 8000 – Ready for any adventure

The Merida SILEX 8000 is a versatile gravel bike for those who demand maximum reliability, control, and freedom on every ride. The high-quality carbon frame forms the basis for a bike that excels on long bikepacking tours, demanding everyday commutes, and multi-day races alike.

Versatility, control and modern technology

Equipped with the wireless SRAM Apex AXS 1x12 drivetrain, the SILEX 8000 offers a wide gear range with finely spaced gears and precise shifting in all conditions. The robust DT Swiss G1800 wheels ensure high stability and a direct riding feel – whether on gravel, asphalt, or rough terrain.

The mountain bike-inspired geometry with its slacker head angle provides plenty of confidence off-road, while remaining agile and efficient on long rides. Thanks to generous tire clearance for tires up to 700x45 mm and numerous mounting points for bags, bottles, and accessories, the SILEX 8000 is ideally suited for bikepacking, touring, and year-round use.

The internal WIRE PORT cable routing ensures a clean look and trouble-free riding with handlebar bags, while the carbon fork offers additional cargo mounts and internal preparation for hub dynamos. A gravel bike that's ready every day – regardless of the route, weather, or length of the ride.
