Pre-Order

With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.

Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!

Pre-Launch

With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.

So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.

Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates

Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.

The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates provided on product pages.

We estimate this will be ready for despatch to you or collection via Click & Collect on Undetermined

Merida Silex 8000 Gravel Bike - MY25 -Green Gold Black

Season:2025

Brand:Merida

Code:P-Q240

The SILEX 8000 is your ultimate adventure companion.

Solo bikepacking missions, multi-day races – or just putting in the miles in all conditions, all year round. The SILEX 8000 is designed to be mountain bike capable off-road, but with all the versatility their gravel adventure bike has been known for. The latest, gravel-specific Shimano GRX Di2 2x12-speed drivetrain offers a huge, closely spaced gear range with lightning-fast shifts under all conditions, while carbon fibre Easton EC70 AX wheels are tough and responsive.

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, the 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. They'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. They’ve added their 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.

Features:

  • Test and award winning full carbon frame with dropped chainstay for 700x45 mm clearance.
  • Multiple mounting points for cages, bags and fenders.
  • WIRE PORT internal cable routing for clean looks and scuff free bag fitting.
  • Carbon fork with cargo mounting points and routing for dynamo hub.
  • Relaxed head angle and MTB-style geometry for off-road stability.
  • Wireless Shimano GRX Di2 2x12-speed gravel groupset, carbon Easton EC70 AX wheels.
