Megamo Silk 2026, available in two options and still as fast as ever
The Silk is the bike for dominating fast gravel and making the most of the fastest courses. It perfectly combines stiffness, agility, and lightness, delivering superior performance with every pedal stroke. This year, a big new feature: It's available in two frame types, SLR (super light race) and SL (super light). Each has been designed with a different carbon layup, strengthening areas where stiffness and efficiency are essential, and lightening others.
The 2026 version guarantees significant tire clearance (up to 45 mm), offers integrated cables, the possibility of having 1X or 2X speeds and has a very balanced geometry.
