3Days of testing a Merida Silex in Phuket island.
The Silex400 is budget friendly gravel bike and you can enjoy this bike for both endurance and gravel route. The original group set GRX400 2x10speed can climbing any mountain in Thailand. The bike is great with this price, If you need to improve pedaling from the original just put a little upgrading on the wheels like my bike. We upgraded the wheels to Novatec Carbon R4 fit with the Maxxis Reaver 700x45c.
The bike is great but the beaches scenery in phuket is better. Hope you guys enjoys with cycling and safe ride.
