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 our 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. It's ready for adventure, every day.
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, our 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. 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 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. 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.
