DESCRIPTION

SILEX 400
To be fast, you have to be able to slow down. Our SILEX 400 features the super reliable and gravel-specific GRX groupset with powerful hydraulic disc brakes—a faithful all-road companion with multiple fixing points for bottles and other gear.

The SILEX 400 is simply crying out for some demanding cycling adventure away from the pristine tarmac and fully laden bikepacking excursions. The stable handling of the triple-butted aluminum frame, paired with our full carbon gravel fork and equipped with Shimano's gravel-specific GRX groupset, means the 400 is super capable on the way up and back down again. And that is not just down to the fully hydraulic brakes. With the SILEX 400, every road is yours.

There's beauty in riding without watching the time, heading wherever you feel the urge. For those rides, the test and award-winning SILEX makes total sense; our most comfortable and versatile road bike ever. Its modern MTB-inspired geometry, long top and head tubes, and short stem offer agile, confidence-inspiring handling. While often seen on extended gravel, rough road outings, and backpacking trips, the SILEX also found a substantial following in comfort-orientated road riding connoisseurs, commuters, and city traffic weavers. The more rugged 650b wheeled alternative to the 700c SILEX has obtained multiple test wins and comfort awards and is coming back in the form of the fully loaded and wirelessly shifted SILEX+ LIMITED. The 'classic' 700c SILEX also impressed the press with the 400 securing a test win in Cycling Plus, being certified as having a 'huge fun factor,' 'superb riding position,' and 'brilliant off-road handling.'

  • Triple-butted aluminum frame and full carbon fork
  • 700c wheel for well balanced off and on-road capability
  • Internal cable routing for a clean and easy-to-load frame
  • Comfort geometry for long hours in the saddle
  • MTB-inspired handling for superior off-road capability
  • Three bottle cage positions and bosses for additional luggage capacity on the fork legs.

Technologies

Pro-Lite 66 Triple-Butted Aluminum
We use our proven PRO-LITE 66 (6066) aluminum to create incredibly light and durable high-end aluminum frames. In addition, it works exceptionally well with our hydroforming technology, allowing us to create complex shapes featuring triple-butted wall thicknesses, an almost carbon-like appearance, and the best possible stiffness-to-weight ratio. While lesser alloys might be cheaper, it is ideal for high-performance bicycle frames.



HFS - Hydro Forming System
We apply various forms of manipulation to get the most out of an aluminum tube in terms of shape or varying wall thickness. Hydroforming is the most complex but also the most effective, where an aluminum tube is inserted into a harmful mold, and a hot emulsion of water and oil is forced through at pressure. A perfectly shaped aluminum tube enables us to create beautifully crafted and lightweight aluminum frames.



X-Taper Headtube
Steering precision is vital to safe and confident handling, and the X-TAPER HEADTUBE allows us to boost this precision significantly. A larger headset diameter at the bottom paired with a smaller one at the top helps to deal with the strains modern riding and equipment can put on the headtube, all without adding unnecessary weight. It allows tapered forks to be fitted quickly and delivers precise, confidence-inspiring steering.



Smooth Welding
We use this process to give a nice flat finish to our welds instead of the scaled, 'stack of coins' effect TIG welded joints often have. The welder uses the welding torch to cross the joint twice, helping smooth out the filler material. It takes a lot of skill but delivers solid, smart-looking frames that look like carbon fiber.



Internal Cable Routing
On most of our frames, we run the gear and brake cables and hoses through the frame. The wires enter and exit the frame through smooth sockets, or we use one of our other systems like SMART ENTRY or WIRE PORT to be routed through. Running the cables inside the frame protects them from the elements, gives a clean and neat look, and offers aerodynamic advantages.



Down Tube Exit
Down Tube Exit features some of our frames with internally routed cables. By slightly overlapping the downtube where it connects to the bottom bracket, it leaves a small space that allows cables to exit quickly. This means they are easily accessible for routine maintenance or replacement, but it prevents excessive movement and noise that can cause wear and distraction.



F-Mount
Turning your bike into an all-weather commuter with mudguards and other fittings can be a plus, mainly when regularly riding on wet and perhaps muddy roads and tracks. To make fitting easy, some of our bikes are F-MOUNT equipped, and these integrated fittings mounts make adding mudguards fast and simple. Please note that some bikes require model-specific mudguards.



C-Mount
Similar to our F-MOUNT, where various fixing points for mudguards are part of the frame offering, the C-MOUNT-equipped bikes have the fixing points for a rear rack already integrated, making fitting fast, simple, and reliable. The C-MOUNTS is an additional feature that improves the day-to-day versatility by adding loading capacity to your bike, ideal for commuting and shopping trips. Please note that some bikes require model-specific rear racks.
