Samenvatting

The Merida Silex is praised for its versatile performance, offering a comfortable and stable ride both on and off-road. Its mountain bike-inspired geometry and wide gear range make it a standout in the gravel category, though some reviews note limitations in tire performance and component specs for the price.

Pros
  • Competent off-road performance with comfortable ride

  • Good gear range for varied terrain

  • Comfortable, neutral ride position

  • Lots of tyre clearance

  • Load-lugging potential

Cons
  • Semi-slick Maxxis tyres limit off-road capability

  • Absence of frames for shorter riders

  • Component spec may not justify the price for some

Key Quotes
The Merida Silex is a competent off-road performer with good manners, a comfortable ride and an mtb-like geometry that sets it apart from most gravel bikes.

First announced for the 2018 season, the Merida Silex is the Taiwanese mega-manufacturer’s take on the do-it-all gravel segment. It’s a bike that’s available in both alloy and carbon variants, and new for 2020, a 650B-wheeled version of the latter. While it’s not a new bike, we hadn’t ridden one, until now.

Merida Silex 700 review

okt 2018 · Robin Wilmott

The Silex forges a bold path with its looks and position, but is great value and rides well. Buy if you prioritise a slightly higher position to better enjoy your adventures

  • All-Ultegra groupset, Fulcrum wheels, frame quality

Dieptepunten
  • Higher riding position than usual for its size

Merida Silex 700 review

jun 2018

Sitting in the upper end of the gravel range from Merida, the Silex 700 delivers a no-nonsense package of reliable components, parts and a geometry that brings a stable ride feel. Its geometry vaguely references mountain bikes, which makes for a really excellent ride feel, on road or off, blurring the line between road and mountain in a fast, fun bike.
