This is an exciting trend and its gathering momentum faster than you can bomb down a steep forest path: bike makers are getting serious about multi-purpose bikes. This Merida Silex will come in alloy and carbon frames and will take 29er or 27.5 wheels. If I'm not mistaken, the tire clearance is bigger than any other bike its class. So you can run true 650b mtb tires on this for a real single-track experience, or ride with narrow gravel tires at 700c. That's exactly the kind of flexibility I'd love. Can't wait to find out more about pricing.
