Merida SILEX 9000 - Carbon Gravel Bike - 2026 - halo green fade

The journey is the destination - but there’s no harm in getting there quickly.

Gravel with style. The Merida SILEX 9000 features top-of-the-line components built around Merida’s lightweight full-carbon gravel adventure frame. With 45-mm Maxxis tires, lightweight Reynolds ATR carbon wheels, and a fast-shifting electronic Shimano GRX Di2 1x12-speed drivetrain, it’s capable of tackling challenging terrain at top speed. Thanks to its mountain bike-inspired geometry, it remains stable on any surface, while multiple mounting options ensure you can tackle even cross-continental tours.

The SILEX turns every ride into an adventure, whether you’re embarking on a multi-day gravel bikepacking tour or simply want to take the most scenic route to work. With multiple test wins and rave reviews from the trade press, it remains absolutely stable even with luggage, yet is still fast and fun when you open the throttle. Thanks to the carbon and aluminum frame options, there’s a SILEX for every budget. All models feature multiple mounting options for gravel cages, bottle cages, and accessories, as well as other features that make this all-round drop-bar bicycle so versatile.

Thanks to the elegant WIRE PORT cable routing, the bicycle boasts a clean look. Additionally, it doesn’t interfere with mounting a handlebar bag. The carbon fork used on all models features multiple mounting points as well as internal cable routing for a hub dynamo. Thanks to the option to use 1x or 2x drivetrains, you can choose your gear ratio based on specific requirements or personal preferences. The SILEX opens up a wide range of possibilities.
