{"product_id":"merida-silex-7000-rs-2027","title":"Silex 7000 RS 2027","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 7000 RS takes the platform in a different direction. Most of the range is built around carrying luggage and covering ground in comfort, whereas this one is aimed squarely at long gravel races, and the changes all point that way: a one-piece Vision 5D SMR bar and stem, an FSA ACR headset with the cables routed internally through it, and narrower bars than its stablemates at 380mm on the smaller sizes and 400mm on M and L.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe frame underneath is CF2 carbon II with Disc Cooler fins on the rear caliper mount, a threaded bottom bracket, a 142 x 12mm rear axle and clearance for 700 x 45c tyres. Crucially it keeps the Silex shape - long top tube, long head tube, short stem - so this is a race bike you can still stay on top of after eight hours, rather than a road frame with knobbly tyres squeezed in. Five sets of bottle bosses are there for the sort of event where feed stops are a long way apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShifting is Shimano 1x12 with an RD-RX717 clutch rear derailleur in the long cage and a 10-51 CS-M6100 cassette, giving you mountain bike range on a drop bar bike. The crankset is a Rotor Vegast with a 42 tooth aero chainring on a BSA30 steel bottom bracket. Braking is Shimano hydraulic, with RS717 and RX715 levers and BR-RX410 calipers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFulcrum Soniq GR wheels run 12mm thru-axles front and rear and carry 45c Schwalbe G-One RX Performance tyres with RaceGuard protection. Finishing kit is a Team SL II carbon seatpost and an Expert SL II saddle with a minitool built into the mount.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCF2 carbon II frame with Disc Cooler caliper mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSilex II CF2 full carbon fork with tapered steerer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVision 5D SMR one-piece integrated bar and stem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFSA ACR NO.55R headset with internal cable routing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShimano 1x12 drivetrain, RD-RX717 SGS clutch rear derailleur\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRotor Vegast crankset with 42 tooth aero chainring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShimano CS-M6100 10-51 cassette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShimano hydraulic disc brakes, RS717 and RX715 levers with BR-RX410 calipers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFulcrum Soniq GR wheels, 100x12mm and 142x12mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSchwalbe G-One RX Performance RaceGuard tubeless ready tyres, 700x45C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTeam SL II carbon seatpost and Expert SL II saddle with minitool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClearance for 700 x 45c tyres, 42c with mudguards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications::Silex 7000 RS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiscipline: Gravel\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaterial: Carbon\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eFront Travel: Rigid\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eWheel Size: 700c\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eGearing: 1x12\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eMax Tyre: 700 x 45c\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrame - \u003c\/strong\u003eCF2 carbon II, gravel geometry for stable but nimble handling.
