Size Guide

The Merida SILEX 4000 Gravel Bike is a gravel bike designed from the ground up for adventure.  Building on the groundbreaking success of the original, the new SILEX retains its core DNA while evolving to meet the demands of modern gravel riding.

Born from Mountain Biking, Refined for Gravel:

The original SILEX revolutionized gravel bike design with its mountain bike-inspired geometry.  A long top tube, slack head tube, and short stem provided nimble, confidence-inspiring handling off-road, earning widespread acclaim for its comfort and versatility.  The second generation builds upon this foundation, becoming even more capable on challenging terrain.

Enhanced Off-Road Performance:

The SILEX now boasts a 1.5-degree slacker head angle and clearance for higher volume tires, further enhancing its off-road prowess.  This increased capability was proven when Matej Mohorič rode the SILEX to victory at the 2023 Gravel World Championships just days before its official launch!

Adventure-Ready Versatility:

All SILEX frames feature five sets of bottle bosses, and the aluminum frame adds rack mounts for extensive luggage carrying options.  Internal cable routing allows for dropper post and dynamo system integration, making the SILEX ready for any adventure, from weekend bikepacking trips to epic multi-day expeditions.

Refined Aesthetics:

Addressing feedback on the original's aesthetics, the second-generation SILEX features a revised fork design and shorter head tube, creating a more balanced and visually appealing profile.  This new fork design also allows for easy swapping to a suspension fork without affecting the bike's geometry.

Key Features:

  • MTB Inspired gravel geometry
  • Lightweight carbon frame
  • Carbon fork with tapered steerer
  • Shimano GRX400 groupset
  • Hydraulic disc brakes
  • 12mm bolt through axles

Why Buy From Us?

Why Buy From Billy Bilsland Cycles?

We're one of the most well established bike shops in Scotland and have been selling bikes to Glasgow and far beyond since 1980, so you can be sure that we're not going anywhere 😀

We care about what bike you buy, and we want it to be right bike FOR YOU, not one that would suit us. If you buy your bike from us, we want to keep you as a customer and keep your bike riding perfectly. We offer a free 6 week / 300 mile “tune-up” service, where we tighten up bolts and cables, index your gears and generally sort out any small issues you have after the short bedding in period.

You'll also have priority access to our workshop for repairs or servicing. We never turn away someone who has bought their bike from us, no matter how busy we are. You may have to leave your bike with us for a couple of days, but you'll be at the top of the list.

We offer free loans of a hard-case Bike Box Alan if you're travelling with your bike, just tell us when you need it and we'll book you in. 

The best (and cheapest) time to make changes to a bike is at the initial build stage, avoiding the need to re-cable, bleed brakes etc. We can swap your saddle, change stems, wheels, tyres, bars, cranks, bar tape, group-set, pedals, add luggage and mudguards - the list is endless.

If you're ordering online, just select your upgrade or pop a note in the order when checking out.

Very few bikes leave the shop as they came to us, with stem and tyre changes being the most common.

Bikes are fully built up from scratch by our Cytech Level 2 mechanics. Brakes are bedded in on our brake bedding roller. Being situated in Glasgow, we’re used to preparing bikes for our wonderful British weather so everything is greased up to suit a Glasgow winter. Bikes are then buddy checked, test ridden and re-boxed for shipping with minimal assembly at your end.

High-end website sales are likely to be shipped in a hard case requiring minimum rebuild - attach the wheels, fit pedals (remember pedals are specific to the side of the bike) and away you go. We’ll arrange return shipping for the bike box.

Have you had a bike fit? Send us your fit data and we’ll set up the bike to your position.

Small adjustments make such a big difference.

Are the gears low/high enough for you? Do you have the correct tyre width? Favoured tyre brand? Fancy going tubeless? We’ll make suggestions that will improve your cycling enjoyment.

Bike-Fit is a big part of the in-store service, and usually involve swapping saddles, bars and stems. Whether it’s our suggestion or your requirements, we’re here to help you buy your perfect bike.
