The new MISSION fully embodies its ‘fast on any surface’ intentions. It is a gravel race bike that combines key geometry and frame elements from the SCULTURA ENDURANCE and the SILEX, enhanced with a generous dose of road racing DNA to deliver a fast and responsive ride on virtually any surface.

Whether you’re racing fast gravel events or joining a chain gang on asphalt, the MISSION delivers. With up to 40 mm tyre clearance, there’s room for wider gravel racing tyres or high-volume road tyres. And weighing around 7.8 kg in the 10K model, it flies uphill, remains highly responsive, and catapults you out of corners. The MISSION’s integrated storage compartment improves the accessibility and organization of essential mid-race nutrition and spares, increasing efficiency when every second counts.

Finally, the ability to easily fit 1x or 2x drivetrains provides added flexibility, allowing riders to choose their preferred setup for any riding or racing style. Welcome to your MISSION – Fast on any surface.

The Merida SILEX turns every ride into an adventure, from multi-day bikepacking trips to your daily commute. Its redesigned geometry combines a slacker head angle with mountain bike-inspired handling. This provides maximum stability with a fully loaded bike and playful agility at high speed.

Thanks to increased tire clearance of up to 700x45 mm (or 42 mm with fenders), the SILEX easily conquers any type of terrain. The sleek WIRE PORT cable routing keeps the cockpit tidy, while the standard carbon fork provides extra comfort and convenient mounting points.

With both carbon and aluminium frame options and a choice of 1x or 2x drivetrains, you can perfectly tailor the bike to your style and budget. The versatile mounting points for bags and accessories make the SILEX a limitless all-rounder for all your gravel rides.
