Silex 5000 2026

Go far, go fast. The SILEX 5000 is our entry-level carbon fibre gravel adventure bike, using the same CF2 carbon fibre frame and fork for a lightweight and comfortable ride as our top-end models, but with value and performance-focused components. That means a wide-range SRAM Apex 1x12-speed drivetrain, powerful hydraulic disc brakes and speedy, bump-smoothing Reynolds G30 rims and Maxxis Rambler 45 mm rubber and adventure-ready finishing kit.

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.
