Rather than take over the BTwin GFAF thread, and since BTwin doesnt currently have a AR/Gravel bike, I'll put it here. I like the looks of it too. But like rob, the lack of rackmounts just puts me off. I want my next bike to be light-tourer-ready, good for audax, and able to fit wide enough tires for dirt/gravel backroads which you get here and NZ. Anyway, there is no guarantee that we'll get the entire range in Aust when they open the store in Nov, than what you get in Europe. Basically I want a Gravel/Allroad bike since they came out. Something like: GT Grade Specalised Diverge (but obv not this one - something like it ) Merida Silex Norco Search Avanti AR Giro BTwin just doesn't have anything like this at the moment. Looks pretty 'light touring' to me: www.bikemag.com.au/feature/meridas-new-silex-all-road-adventure-471128/page0As an aside, it looks all of Merida's designated 'touring' bikes are all ebikes.

Looks like a real all rounder and a great bike backing option, especially with those bottle mounts on the front fork. SRAM Apex 1x or 105 2x drivetrain??
