Here are five great Merida bikes for your commute…

Bikes

Silex 400 – Gravel bike

Silex 400 - Gravel bike

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 but adds even more off-road capability, thanks to a slacker head angle and boosted tyre clearance of up to 700x45 mm or even 42mm with fenders.

It combines 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.

"Where its rivals either have a racy or rowdy bias, the Merida has managed to meld both these qualities and the result is one of the best all-round gravel bikes on the market." - Off.road.cc

It’s has been a hit with the mountain bike press and trail riders alike. Bikeboard.cc confirmed that we 'nailed it', while MBR, IMB and many more confirmed that the Big Trail is firmly at the top of the trail hardtail game.

The Big Trail has hidden talents, in addition to two sets of bottle bosses, there's a trail mount under the top tube that allows you to carry tools and extra gear on the bike. It's also possible to fit mudguards, kickstand and a rack if you want to trek further afield.

Scultura Endurance - road bike

A modern frame design offering comfort-orientated geometry, plenty of tyre clearance and seamless cable integration. Wide tyres provide plenty of comfort, even on the most pothole-littered country lanes, and a longer head tube offers a more relaxed riding position. The Scultura Endurance is the perfect choice for endurance, leisure and adventure-seeking riders who want to enjoy long hours in the saddle in comfort.

The cycling press says the Scultura Endurance is the “Perfect choice for long rides. Great looks, stable chassis, good comfort.” (Fiets Magazine). It also “offers a lively feel, and most importantly, feels like it belongs on the road” (Cyclingtips).
