2027 Merida Silex RS 7000
The SILEX RS 7000 sits at the sharp end of our gravel-race focused SILEX line, pairing a lightweight carbon frame with a genuine off-road-derived 1x groupset — Shimano's RX717/M6100 setup gives huge gear range and rock-solid shifting, a Rotor aero crank keeps things stiff and light, and a full carbon cockpit sharpens handling for fast, technical gravel racing. Wide 45mm tubeless tyres and generous tyre clearance mean it's just as happy loaded up for adventure as it is on race day.
