Merida Silex RS 7000 Gravel Bike 2027

Merida Silex RS 7000 2027 Gravel Bike
Take your gravel riding to the next level with the Merida Silex RS 7000 2027, a high-performance carbon gravel bike designed for riders who want speed, control and versatility across demanding terrain. Combining the proven SILEX platform with race-focused components and aerodynamic features, the Silex RS 7000 is built for long-distance gravel racing, fast training rides and adventurous days beyond the tarmac.

At the heart of the bike is the SILEX CF2 II carbon frame, delivering a responsive yet confident ride with gravel geometry designed to provide stable, nimble handling. The full-carbon Silex II CF2 fork adds further control while providing clearance for tyres up to 700 x 47C, while the frame accommodates tyres up to 700 x 45C.

Race-Ready 1x12 Shimano Drivetrain
The Shimano 1x12-speed drivetrain provides a wide range of gearing for steep climbs, fast gravel sections and varied terrain. The Shimano RD-RX717 rear derailleur works with a 10-51T cassette, while the Rotor Vegast crankset features a 42-tooth aero chainring. This combination gives the Silex RS 7000 the gearing range needed for demanding gravel routes while maintaining the simplicity of a 1x setup.

Aerodynamic Gravel Performance
The Silex RS 7000 2027 features a Vision 5D SMR one-piece integrated cockpit, helping create a clean, aerodynamic front end with internal cable routing. The aero-focused design continues through the Rotor chainset and Fulcrum Soniq GR wheelset, making this SILEX particularly well suited to riders who want to push their pace on gravel.

45mm Gravel Tyres and Fulcrum Wheels
The bike is equipped with Fulcrum Soniq GR wheels and Schwalbe G-ONE RX Performance RaceGuard TLR 700 x 45C tyres. The generous tyre clearance gives you the confidence to tackle loose gravel, rough tracks and changing surfaces while maintaining the speed and efficiency expected from a performance gravel bike.

Carbon Frame, Fork and Seatpost
The Silex RS 7000 combines its carbon frame and fork with a Merida Team SL II carbon seatpost, helping keep the overall package lightweight and comfortable over long distances. Shimano hydraulic disc brakes provide controlled braking performance when riding quickly over technical gravel and changing terrain.
