Gravel Bikes

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.

 The ATLAS 6.8 boasts an aluminium frame and carbon fork with integrated C.I.S. cable routing, plus a top tube bag, Shimano GRX600 2x11 groupset with specialised gravel ergonomics for smooth shifting and secure braking on rough terrain, and Road Boost wheels by Novatec with double-sealed hubs. It offers reliable stability and high quality, plus comfort and control on any surface, enabling you to push boundaries. The bike offers huge tyre clearance with 700c tyres and can take widths up to 47mm, plus even more clearance for 650b tyres up to 53mm. With five bottle cages and plenty of mounting options on the frame and fork, the ATLAS helps you undertake any bike adventure.

A dream adventure gravel bike at a very sensible price. We pair our fully-featured aluminium frame and carbon fork with Shimano’s 12-speed GRX drivetrain to give you everything you need, without breaking the bank.

• Aluminium frame with dropped chainstay for 700×45 mm clearance
• Multiple mounting points for cages, bags and fenders
• WIRE PORT internal cable routing for clean looks and scuff free bag fitting
• Carbon fork with cargo mounting points and routing for dynamo hub
• Relaxed head angle and MTB-style geometry for off-road stability
• Shimano GRX 1×12-speed wide range gravel groupset

Dreaming of big biking adventures doesn’t mean you don’t value the sensible. The SILEX 700 uses our incredible value aluminium frame plus a carbon fork to deliver adventure-ready performance at a wallet-friendly price. With a single-ring 12-speed Shimano GRX drivetrain, it also offers precise, wide-range shifting and powerful braking. Combined with our proven, mountain bike-inspired geometry and bump-taming 45 mm Maxxis tubeless-ready tyres, it’s as happy on a backcountry adventure as it is doing the day-to-day grind.

There’s a SILEX to suit every budget but all of them share the multiple mounting points, fender racks and other features that lend themselves so well to this drop-bar do-everything machine. We’ve added our sleek WIRE PORT cable routing for improved looks – and fewer cables to catch on with a handlebar bag – and the carbon fibre fork used on all models now has more cargo mounts plus internal routing for a dynamo hub. With the ability to use 1x or 2x drivetrains, you can pick your gearing to suit the task at hand or your own personal preference, opening up a world of opportunity for you and your SILEX.

The Merida Silex 200 Gravel Bike is the entry-level all-road and gravel bike of the Silex range and comes ready for back lane adventures, gravel roads, and forest trails. While the Silex 200 is the entry-level bike of the range, it is anything but basic! With the same lightweight aluminium frame as more expensive models, this bike comes with all the fixing points for luggage, water bottles, fenders, and rear racks meaning it is ready for whatever adventure you want to throw at it. The Carbon CF2 fork increases ride comfort and precision in your steering no matter the terrain, while the wide 2 x 9, 11-32T gear range of the Shimano Sora gearset is perfect for both faster flat sections and long climbs. The mechanical disc brakes offer superior stopping power no matter the weather or terrain, and the Maxxis Rambler tyres offer great grip for offroad rides. All of this combines to make Merida's most versatile and comfortable road bike ever. Not only will it feel at home on roads and paths and on your daily commutes, but it can seamlessly transition to those weekend gravel grinds, bikepacking trips or forest trails. 

The Silex 200's geometry draws inspiration from modern mountain bikes to create a bike that is amazingly comfortable and incredibly nimble with a long top tube and head tube and a short stem. The Silex has confidence-inspiring handling in spades and due to its renown for comfort, not only is it a popular bike amongst the gravel crowd, but it also has a strong following from the comfort-focused road and commuting community. Aside from comfort and practicality, the Silex 200 offers amazing style with its sleek design, and internal cable routing leaving your cockpit uncluttered and clear. All of this combines to make a versatile bike that looks and feels amazing, but at an affordable price, making the Silex 200 the perfect entry-level all-road bike. 

The Focus Atlas 6.7 Gravel Bike is the perfect companion for adventurous cyclists. It features a lightweight carbon frame and a precise Shimano GRX drivetrain for maximum power, control and speed. Reliable disc brakes and adaptive design for wider tires and rack/fender mounting provide a comfortable and safe ride. Conquer any terrain with the Focus Atlas 6.7 and explore new horizons.
