✓ Specs checked against the manufacturer
Last checked 4 Sept 2026 against the manufacturer's own page . The weightfigure is our estimate — the manufacturer publishes none. Caveat: Size L geometry row. Merida publishes no UK price; the £1,200 price is the full RRP at Tredz, not a sale figure, and Merida prints no model year, so 2026 follows Tredz's designation. Merida runs two Silex 200 pages; this is the one whose components match the bike Tredz sells. Clearance is Merida's stated 700x45C frame maximum, which drops to 42mm with mudguards. Mudguard and rack mounts are Merida's documented F-MOUNT and C-MOUNT fittings, both listed for this frame. Merida quotes no weight for this trim, so the weight shown is our estimate anchored on the 11.1kg they publish for the better-equipped Silex 400.
