The Megamo Silk 04 SLR 2027 bike we’re featuring here at Escapa is a gravel racing bike designed to turn every pedal stroke into speed. Its Super Light Race carbon frame, fast-gravel-specific geometry, and integrated Cockpit create a lightweight, responsive, and precise platform, ready to maintain high speeds on trails, dirt roads, and paved sections.
This version features a combination of the SRAM Rival AXS electronic drivetrain with a 1x12 SRAM S1000 setup, Tubeless-ready Fulcrum Lite GR wheels, and 45mm Pirelli Cinturato Gravel RC Classic tires. A balanced setup for those seeking the precision of electronic shifting and the versatility of a double chainring for competitions and long-distance rides.

Super Light Race Carbon Frame
The Carbon Advanced Composite Super Light Race Gravel frame is designed to combine low weight, stiffness, and control. Its direct response enhances acceleration and changes of pace, while the carbon’s shock-absorbing properties help reduce fatigue on rough terrain.
The Carbon Advanced Composite Race Gravel fork provides precise steering and maintains full internal cable routing. The bike features a BB86 bottom bracket, Flat Mount brakes, and 12 x 100 mm front and 12 x 142 mm rear thru-axles.
Geometry Designed for Fast Gravel
The Silk’s geometry is designed to provide an aerodynamic riding position without compromising stability. In size M, it combines a 395 mm Reach with a 557 mm stack, promoting a sporty and efficient riding position for Gravel races.
The 425 mm chainstays provide responsiveness during accelerations, while the head angle is designed to maintain precise and stable handling in fast corners, descents, and on uneven surfaces.
Fully Internal Cable Routing
Cables and hoses are hidden from the handlebars all the way into the frame, providing a clean front end and reducing exposure to mud, dust, and potential snags. This integration enhances the aesthetics and helps maintain a distraction-free ride, which is especially valued on a race-oriented bike.
Integrated carbon Cockpit
The Carbon Gravel Racing Handlebar integrates the handlebars and stem into a single carbon structure. This design adds stiffness to the front end, reduces the number of components, and allows the riding position to be adjusted for each frame size.
Cockpit dimensions vary by size:
- XS: 70 mm stem, 360 mm width at the shifters and 410 mm at the bottom.
- S: 80 mm stem, 360/410 mm width.
- M: 90 mm stem and 360/410 mm width.
- L: 100 mm stem and 380/430 mm width.
- XL: 110 mm stem, 380/430 mm width.
SRAM S1000 / Rival AXS 12s Combo Drivetrain
The SRAM S1000 / Rival AXS 12s Combo electronic drivetrain offers fast, precise, and consistent shifting. Its electronic actuation reduces the effort required to shift gears and maintains stable responsiveness even during intense accelerations or on uneven terrain.
The SRAM Rival XPLR crankset features a 40-tooth chainring, paired with a SRAM XS 1270 10-52T cassette. This gear range provides speed on fast trails and roads, as well as comfortable gear ratios for steep climbs.
Crankset length by size: XS: 165 mm; S: 170 mm; M and L: 172.5 mm; XL: 175 mm.
Fulcrum Lite GR 2-Way Fit Ready Wheels
The Fulcrum Lite GR wheels are made of aluminum and feature an internal width of 24 mm, providing good support for wide Gravel tires. Their 2-Way Fit Ready technology allows for a Tubeless setup with the appropriate components.
Fulcrum hubs feature sealed cartridge bearings and thru-axles measuring 12 x 100 mm in the front and 12 x 142 mm in the rear. This construction offers reliability and protection against dust, moisture, and heavy use.
Pirelli Cinturato Gravel RC Classic 700 x 45C
The Pirelli Cinturato Gravel RC Classic 700 x 45C tires are designed for gravel racing and offer a balanced combination of speed, traction, and control. Their volume helps absorb bumps and provides stability on loose gravel, dirt, and mixed surfaces. The natural-colored sidewalls add a classic aesthetic to the build, while Tubeless compatibility allows for lower pressures to enhance grip and comfort.
Carbon Seatpost and Fizik Saddle
The Megamo Gravel Advanced Carbon seatpost helps reduce the bike’s overall weight and provides controlled flex to filter out some of the vibrations from the Terreno. Its length is adjusted for each size: 350 mm for XS and S, 400 mm for M and L, and 450 mm for XL.
The Fizik Vento Argo X5 saddle provides a stable platform to maintain a sporty and efficient riding position during long training sessions and races.
