The Merlin Malt G2 GRX is our top of the range aluminium gravel bike. The third generation of our versatile gravel bike range features tweaked geometry, offering more comfort and stability as well as a more inclusive sizing range. With improved geometry and the simply effortless performance of Shimano’s acclaimed GRX groupset, the Merlin Malt G2 GRX is our best aluminium gravel bike yet! The Merlin Malt G2 GRX can handle a wide variety of terrain including muddy trails, gravel tracks and green lanes. This flexibility allows you to combine roads with a wide variety of other more challenging forms of terrain. Your adventures are no longer limited by your style of bike, open up flexibility in your rides and enjoy the pleasure and challenges which mixed terrain rides can offer. The Merlin Malt G2 GRX features a lightweight, hydroformed, Triple Butted Aluminium frame with 12mm thru-axles front and rear. Thru-axles ensure the connection between wheels and frameset is secure and solid, disc brakes are always perfectly aligned and stearing precision is enhanced due to the wheel hubs and frameset essentially becoming one unit. The Malt G2 features flat-mounts for disc brakes and internal cable routing for brake and gear cables giving a cleaner, less cluttered look. Internal cable routing also offers enhanced protection from grit and grime, this means your bike’s cables will work smoothly for longer. The revised geometry across the Merlin gravel bike range enhances comfort and confidence to inspire all-day-rides, commute to the office or filthy gravel track action, depending on your plans for the day. The G2 GRX’s carbon fork will reduce vibrations and smooths out the feel of whatever surfaces you are riding. The forks taper from 1 1/8″ at the top, to 1.5″ at the lower race, this further enhances the ‘surefooted’ feel of the front end. Shimano’s GRX groupset offers everything you would expect from the market leader, both in terms of performance and elegant, robust style.
