The New MERIDA Silex is your dedicated bike packing and bike adventure companion.
The new SILEX maintains all this versatility, but increased tyre clearance of up to 700x45 mm tyres improves comfort and trail capability even further. The updated geometry features increased reach and a slackened head angle for improved stability, particularly when laden with bike-packing equipment and on rougher terrain. A shorter, more sporty-looking headtube paired with a longer, suspension-corrected fork keeps the original bike's much-loved comfortable and confidence-inspiring riding position, just without the love-it-or-hate-it looks.
