With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.
Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!
With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.
So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.
Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.
The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates provided on product pages.

Primera verdict:The Merida Silex 400 is my favourite alloy gravel bike on the market. Merida have designed the bike from the ground up with endurance geometry and a tall headtube whilst utilising their expert frame building knowledge – retaining a sensible price point too! Well above class in terms of component specification; hydraulic disc brakes, GRX gravel specific gearing and a fresh blue colourway are worthy upgrades from the Silex 200 model. A true all-rounder: all weather commuting, weekend gravel off-piste adventures and a do-it-all family bike.
Rider review:
‘Merida Silex 400 was my first introduction to gravel biking. After seeing all my friends enjoying some faster off-road rides I thought it was time to join them. I test rode a few bikes and came to the realisation that I needed to spend about £1500 to get the bike with the specs I liked. I wanted a carbon bike but it was out of my reach. The Merida Silex 400 looked like a good option with a really nice alloy frame and carbon forks. The Primera mechanics made the tyres tubeless for me with the Muc-Off tyre sealant, which has been very reliable. I only had the Silex 400 bike for a couple of months, but so far I have done 700 miles on tracks with a mix of gravel and sand. The tyres fitted are very good and have plenty of room for muddy rides. Overall, I’m really pleased with the Merida Silex 400 gravel bike and would recommend it to anyone looking to spend a similar amount.’
