Merida SILEX 9000 - Gravel biking at the highest level

The Merida SILEX 9000 is the top model in the SILEX series and is aimed at riders who seek maximum speed, control, and precision on challenging gravel roads. The lightweight full carbon frame and carbon fork form the basis for a gravel bike that remains composed even on difficult terrain while also being efficient and fast over long distances.

High-end equipment for speed and control

With its electronic Shimano GRX Di2 1x12 drivetrain, the SILEX 9000 offers precise, reliable gear changes in all conditions. The combination of a wide gear range and clearly defined gear jumps allows for high speeds on fast sections as well as controlled climbing on steep terrain. The lightweight Reynolds ATR carbon wheels ensure direct acceleration and excellent tracking, while the 45 mm wide Maxxis tires provide traction, comfort, and safety on loose surfaces.

The mountain bike-inspired geometry with a slacker head angle provides plenty of stability on technical trails, while remaining smooth and efficient on long stretches of gravel and asphalt. Thanks to generous tire clearance for tires up to 700x45 mm and numerous mounting points for bags, bottles, and accessories, the SILEX 9000 is suitable for both fast gravel races and extended bikepacking tours.

The integrated WIRE PORT cable routing ensures a clean look and trouble-free riding with handlebar bags. Additionally, the carbon fork offers further cargo mounts and internal preparation for hub dynamos. The result is an uncompromising gravel bike that combines speed, technology, and versatility at the highest level.
