The Merida Silex 8000 (Gunmetal Grey) 2025 is built for serious gravel adventurers who demand mountain bike capability combined with gravel bike versatility. Whether you’re embarking on solo bikepacking missions, multi-day races, or putting in the miles all year round, this bike delivers top-tier performance across diverse terrains.
Equipped with the latest gravel-specific Shimano GRX Di2 2×12-speed electronic drivetrain, the SILEX 8000 offers a broad and closely spaced gear range for lightning-fast, precise shifting in all conditions. Its carbon fibre Easton EC70 AX wheels provide both toughness and responsiveness, ready to tackle rocky trails or smooth tarmac with confidence.
The SILEX 8000 carries forward Merida’s legacy of gravel excellence — featuring a slacker head angle and tire clearance of up to 700×45 mm (or 42 mm with fenders) for stability and control, even when loaded with bikepacking gear. Its mountain bike-inspired handling delivers surefooted confidence, while the bike remains fast and fun when pushed hard.
Like all SILEX models, this bike boasts multiple mounting points for cages, water bottles, and accessories. The sleek WIRE PORT internal cable routing reduces clutter and snag risks, perfect for handlebar bags or dynamo lighting setups. The carbon fork includes additional cargo mounts and internal routing for dynamo hubs, making it ready for any adventure.
