SILEX 500

 

Finding adventure is where the fun is. With almost mountain-bike capability off-road and horizon chasing ability everywhere else, you don't have to fear the path ahead. A quality aluminium frame, fat Maxxis tyres and components from SRAM and Reynolds will keep you rolling.

Adventure-ready attitude in spades. The SILEX 500 gives you our confident and comfortable aluminium adventure gravel frame with comfort and control enhancing 45 mm Maxxis tyres paired with functional and reliable kit such as SRAM's Apex 1x12-speed wide-range drivetrain with hydraulic disc brakes and Reynolds Duroc G30 wheels. The upright riding position gives you mountain bike-style off-road ability with the go far, go fast sensibility the SILEX family is renowned for.

The SILEX turns any ride into an adventure, whether you’re on a multi-day gravel bikepacking mission or just taking the fun route to work. With multiple test wins, press accolades, industry awards and even a World Championship title under its belt, our SILEX takes the off-road capability of gravel bikes to new heights, thanks to a slacker head angle and boosted tyre clearance of up to 700x45 mm or even 42 mm with fenders. We've combined that confident mountain bike-inspired handling with all-surface versatility so that it is utterly stable when loaded up with luggage but still fast and fun when you put the hammer down. With carbon and aluminium frame options, there's a SILEX to suit every budget, but they all share the multiple mounting points for fork cages, water bottles and accessories and other features that make this drop-bar do-everything machine so versatile. 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.

PROLITE 66 TRIPLE BUTTED ALUMINUM

Vår beprövade aluminiumkvalitet 6066 är extremt lätt och tålig. Med trippelreducerad väggtjocklek och hydroformteknik kan vi ge aluminiumrören maximalt styvhet i förhållande till vikt.

HFS - HYDRO FORMING SYSTEM

Rören placeras i matriser. Därefter sprutas en het vatten-olje-blandning genom rören med högt tryck för att forma dem till komplexa former.

X-TAPER HEADTUBE

Koniskt styrrör med 1 1/8-tums lager längst upp och 1 1/4-tums eller 1 1/2-tums längst ned ger fantastisk styvhet samt precis och tillförlitlig styrning.

SMOOTH WELDING

Dubbla svetssträngar ger snyggare ram. Du kan inte se att ramen är svetsad på avstånd – den ser ut som en kolfiberram.

INTERNAL CABLE ROUTING

Kablar/vajrar är dragna genom ramen med in- och utgångar försedda med mjuka muffar. Det ger cykeln snyggare utseende samtidigt som kablar/vajrar skyddas mot fukt och smuts.

DISC COOLER

En komponent av smitt aluminium under främre och/eller bakre skivbromsok underlättar avledning av värme genom CNC-frästa kylflänsar. Vid tester har det framkommit att temperaturen minskar med cirka 35 % och att nedkylningstiden kortas, vilket i sin tur ger bättre bromsprestanda.

WIRE PORT

MERIDA designed headsets that enable all control cables from the handlebar to enter the frame through the headset cover, creating a clean and uncluttered look, allowing for a lighter, stronger and more aerodynamic frame structure than with conventional cable ports. Depending on the model, the cables are run completely internally (including the bar and stem) or semi-integrated, where the cables enter the frame underneath the stem.
