The dream ticket when discussed in the Merida UK office. A gravel bike with motor assistance, allowing you to go further, tackle more and generally just grin a lot. MAHLE's ebikemotion system uses a 40Nm rear hub motor powered by a fully integrated 250Wh battery hidden in the downtube. The low system weight combined with a carbon fork and sophisticated aluminium frame means the bike also feels lively without power assistance. There is almost no drag at all from the motor when it;s not engaged. The system has an iWoc button for controlling support levels and a sophisticated app provides an opportunity to adjust the riding feel as well as offering post-ride analysis features. The frame has mounts for mudguards and rack and a neat hidden kickstand mount. Cable routing is through the frame with cables entering through a specific headset cap to keep the cockpit neat. The eSilex can be run with either 700c or 650b wheels.
