SILEX 4000

 

This high-value carbon framed bike is ready for any adventure, with a durable Shimano GRX drivetrain that offers climb-anything ability plus our proven mountain bike-inspired handling for off-road confidence.

Ready for adventures of any size. The SILEX 4000 is the entry to our carbon fibre framed lineup, pairing our lightweight frame and fork with high-value equipment such as the utterly durable 10-speed Shimano GRX drivetrain with a double chainset for climb-anything ability. Tough, tubeless-ready Maxxis Rambler tyres plus our mountain bike-inspired geometry provide a predictable and planted connection to the ground while quality MERIDA finishing kit delivers performance without needing any fanfare.

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. The latest version builds on the test-winning pedigree of the original SILEX but adds even more off-road capability, 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 all of them share the multiple mounting points, fender racks and other features that lend themselves so well to this drop-bar do-everything machine. 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.

X-TAPER KRMILNA CEV

Uporaba stožčaste cevi dimenzij in ležaja 1 1/8 "na vrhu in 1 1/4" ali 1 1/2 "na dnu ustvarja izjemno togost in natančno, zanesljivo navdušujoče krmiljenje.

NOTRANJA NAPELJAVA BOVDNOV

Bovdni napeljavi skozi okvir nudijo sodoben izgled kolesa, medtem ko so kabli ustrezno zaščiteni pred vlago in umazanijo.

DI2 READY

Kolesa z oznako "DI2 Ready" so predpriravljena za vgradnjo te tehnološke rešitve-predvsem pa omogoča vgradnjo baterije v za to predvideno mesto v okvirju.

NANO MATRIX KARBON

Da bi zaščitili celovitost karbonskih okvirjev so vlakna vezana skupaj z epoksidno smolo in dodanimi nano delci, kar povečuje odpornost na udarce za 40%.

AWS

Pri ustvarjanju posameznih ogljikovih elementov se uporablja napihljiv mehur, ki zagotavlja, da v cevi ni gub, saj lahko te dodajo težo in ustvarijo šibkost. Rezultat je svetlejši, trdnejši in močnejši okvir.

F-MOUNT

Opremljena kolesa z "F-Mount" imajo integrirana prtrdilna mesta za blatnike (nekatera kolesa zahtevajo specifičen model blatnikov), kar omogoča hitro in enostavno namestitev.

HLAJENJE DISKOV

Kovani aluminijasti del pod sprednjo in / ali zadnjo čeljustjo, ki omogoča, da se toplota odvaja preko CNC-frezanih hladilnih reber. Preskusi kažejo, da se temperature znižajo za približno 35%, čas hlajenja pa se skrajša, kar izboljša učinkovitost zavor.

NOTRANJA OBJEMKA SEDEŽA

Oblikovanje koles za WorldTour je podobno kot pri F1; navidezno nepomembne podrobnosti lahko pripeljejo do prihranka pomembnih sekund. Integrirano vpenjanje sedežne opore zmanjša turbulenco na zgornji cevi.

ODSTRANLJIV F-MOUNT

Odstranljiv nosilec za pritrditev blatnikov je namenjen udobnejši in varnejši montaži zadnjih blatnikov, vendar ga je mogoče odstraniti v primeru uporabe kolesa na bolj blatnih progah ali zaradi čistejšega videza.

PORTAL ZA BOVDNE

MERIDA je zasnovala poseben "portal" za bovdne, ki omogoča, da vsi bovdni iz krmila vstopijo v okvir skozi portal, kar ustvarja čist in neobremenjen videz, omogoča lažjo, močnejšo in bolj aerodinamično strukturo okvirja kot pri običajnih vhodih za kable. Odvisno od modela so kabli speljani povsem znotraj (vključno z oporo in krmilom) ali delno integrirani, kjer kabli vstopajo v okvir pod oporo krmila.
