4 R&D Philosophy Basics is very unique and recognizable; a tensioned top tube with a nice 'kink' in it, the curved fork and the tendon are design features that you will discover in all models of the collection which gives every Eddy Merckx race bike that typical look. CT scan 1 - A distinctive design identity At Eddy Merckx Cycles, we have a very distinctive design identity and there is always a technical reason behind this. Straight bladed forks are the market standard. But we only use bended forks. This bend means that we can offer higher compliance on the fork. Besides stiffness we want to offer compliance as well. The seat tube is always in a teardrop shape, so aerodynamic and optimised, and for the rear wheel clearance we offer a cut out - the so-called tendon - to keep the rear wheel in the right position. Our frame design Bended fork Top tube with a unique kink 2 - Power under control Power under control this is what you feel when you ride our bikes. To achieve this, stiffness, stability and safety are the key. Eddy himself always talked about stability as the key focus to keep the bike under control and at the same time offering the greatest safety for the rider. 3 - Progressive evolution geometry As for optimal handling, the key is that you feel like you are sitting IN the bike rather than sitting ON the bike. How do we achieve this? We believe that every size of rider needs its own specific geometry.comparing a small frame with a tall frame, the smaller rider sits more to the front whereas a taller rider sits more to the rear. That's why we adapt the seat tube angles as well as the chain stay length, to balance the weight and keep the rider in the centre of the bike. This is what we call Progressive evolution geometry. Tendon 4 - No compromises On the quality we make no compromises. That means that all our products, frames and forks are tested to the highest ISO standards. Besides that, we do our own tests with higher loads and longer lifecycles. We also test every frame, fork, the weight and the stiffness to a very small tolerance. On top of that we have developed a new technology; the CT scan, basically an x-ray to look through and inside the frame. This is very useful, especially for carbon frames. We want to avoid any failures in the process of manufacturing. This has a very high cost in process time and equipment, but we are very proud we can offer a Strict Lifetime Warranty on the whole range of bikes. 4 EDDY MERCKX EDDY CYCLES MERCKX CYCLES

Official Teambike Sport Vlaanderen - Baloise The story behind the name The best racer of all time won 525 races during his professional career. A record we are proud to associate with the top end bike in our collection. This new top model promotes the brand Eddy Merckx back to the first division of pro cycling. RoadBIKE 5 EDDY MERCKX CYCLES 5

1 bike does it all Whatever the terrain, whether it s riding fast circuits around the lake, a nice long climb, or a tough gran fondo, you expect your bike to perform at the highest level in any of these conditions. This is also true for our Pro Riders. They want to have one bike they can use during the whole season. So that's why we offer the highest level combination of all these attributes on the EM525. Performance geometry 2 EM525 geometries: Performance & Endurance Most of our customers who are riding top end bikes, don't have the appropriate fit. They were being fitted using a pro rider geometry and were therefore using multiple spacers to have their handlebars in the right position. This is an issue in terms of stiffness and safety in the event of material failure. In order to avoid this, we have developed two different geometries: one for pro riders, which we call 'Performance', and the other one, we call 'Endurance', which will fit most of our customers. In total, we have 7 frame sizes in each category, so 14 EM525 frame sizes to ensure that every kind of rider has the appropriate position with optimal stiffness and handling performance.

Official Teambike of these Pro Teams: Delta Cycling Rotterdam Cyclingteam Jo Piels Aldro The story behind the name Eddy Merckx participated in Milan - San Remo 10 times and won it 7 times. The last time was in 1976. This was another unique record. The Primavera is known as a sprinter classic, which is why we named our fastest bike SanRemo76. The SanRemo76 is a bit like Eddy Merckx himself. You can win races with it in all circumstances. Grinta! Magazine 13 EDDY MERCKX CYCLES 13

Optimal aerodynamic performance The SanRemo76 is a high-performance racing machine with a geometry that allows efficient aerodynamic positioning. The tubes also are designed to have an optimal aerodynamic performance. As for aerodynamics, we offer an integrated seat post with aerodynamic shape, large range bracket and integrated seat post clamp. Aero shape seat tube Aerodynamic shapes & maximum power transfer We simultaneously focused on the power transfer with asymmetric chain stays and low seat stays that offer higher stiffness on the power transfer. On one hand, we focused on the aerodynamic shapes; the fork, all down to the downtube, integrated aerodynamic seat tube, seat post, and the aerodynamic seat stays. On the other hand, we wanted to have power transfer that could be reached with huge cross sections on the bottom bracket, the downtube, and all down to the dropouts. Aero fork 14 EDDY MERCKX CYCLES

The story behind the name The Mourenx69 refers to Merckx s victory during stage 7 in the Tour de France of 1969. During this heroic ride from Luchon to Mourenx, Merckx escaped for 140 kilometres on his own and arrived in Mourenx 8 minutes ahead of the pack. This was the inspiration for our endurance bike: the Mourenx69. This is a near perfect racer for plowing out long, fast miles. Bestbikereviews.com 23 EDDY MERCKX CYCLES 23

Stability & compliance Compliance on the fork For the endurance rider, the key point is stability and compliance. So we don't compromise on the stiffness of performance-oriented bikes but we do add additional compliance. Additional compliance on the fork and on the rear frame means you reduce fatigue and you can go for longer distances. And on top of that, with higher compliance, we increase traction. You want to be sure your tyre will stick to the ground. So this is what we understand by compliance. This means that you are safer, and if you want, you can go faster in the bends. Disc brakes Disc brakes bring an additional level of comfort, control and safety for the endurance rider that he really will appreciate on his long rides.

The story behind the name In 1964, Eddy Merckx became the amateur World Champion in Sallanches, France. This marked the start of his extraordinarily successful career as a cyclist. There are a lot of bikes out there that don t ride as well as the Sallanches64 but cost an awful lot more. UK Cycling Weekly 29 EDDY MERCKX CYCLES 29

Semi integrated seat post clamp Ideal mix of high performance & endurance The Sallanches64 is a carbon racing bike that combines regular compliance with a high level of stiffness. This versatile racing machine is the ideal mix of high performance and endurance. Disc brakes Disc brakes bring an additional level of comfort, control and safety for the endurance rider that he really will appreciate on his long rides. Clean inside This frame has also been given a special internal treatment so that the inside looks just as clean as the outside, resulting in a weight of barely 1100 grams.

Female geometry frame Female geometry This female bike uses the same technology and features as we have on the male bikes. The key difference is the specific geometry. The carbon Milano72 frame has a specific female geometry. This means that the seat tube angle, stack and reach are perfectly adapted to a woman's geometry. Specific components On the component side we also use specific designs and measurements on all three touchpoints to suit a woman's posture: a specific ergonomically-shaped saddle and smaller, more narrow handle bars and shorter cranks.

The story behind the name In Montreal in 1974, Eddy Merckx won the first World Championship to be held in the Americas. That was his fourth rainbow jersey in 10 years. One newspaper commented: 'Eddy Merckx didn't discover America, America discovered Eddy Merckx.' Until the Giro d'italia 1967, Eddy Merckx was known as a sprinter. However, during this Giro, Eddy won the mountain stage ending in the Blockhaus. With this victory, he confirmed his potential as a climber and tourstage rider. That's where the name Blockhaus67 comes from. 47 EDDY MERCKX CYCLES 47

High end alloy frame Instead of making a mediocre carbon frame, like most of our competitors in this price range, we have chosen to go for the best alloy frame that will outperform any carbon frame in this price range. Double smooth welding We are using 6069 alloy material which is 30% stronger than anything else out there. Using this stronger material, we can make lighter tubes. We start with a round triple-butted 6069 alloy tube, and shape it as necessary by press-forming, thus optimising any connecting tubes. This creates a more oval connection on the head tube, and in the opposite direction an oval connection on the bottom bracket. The second step is to connect those tubes with a double smooth weld. The first layer is some regular tig welding and the second welding is called smooth welding which creates a nicer and wider welding joint which also makes the product stiffer. Other brands also often use two rounds of tig welding but they will grind this area to give it a nice appearance. During this grinding process, they will basically damage the tubes and reduce the wall thickness with the high potential of material failure. We do double welding with a real smooth welding which makes the product nice looking and even stronger. Specific tube shapes On both frames every tube has a particular shape to offer the greatest stiffness with the highest compliance. We have very specific shapes; tapered, asymmetric cross sections. That includes on all our asymmetric chainstays, giving the greatest stiffness. On the seat stay we use very thin cross sections with thin wall thickness to provide incredible compliance for an alloy frame. Asymmetric chain stays Carbon fork We combine this superior alloy frame with the best possible carbon fork. We use carbon forks with a smooth tapered crown. We put the bearing right on the crown in order to have a very safe and light structure on the crown. This is a 360 gram carbon fork combined with an alloy frame of 1,150 grams, which is superior to any other carbon frame in this price range. 48 EDDY MERCKX CYCLES 6069 alloy tubes

Taipei Design Award Winner The story behind the name The first stage of the Tour de France in 1971 ended in Strasbourg on a gravel track, where Eddy narrowly beat Roger De Vlaeminck in a sprint. Eddy would go on to win this Tour and ended with the yellow jersey in Paris three weeks later. 55 EDDY MERCKX CYCLES 55

Versatile geometry The gravel category is basically positioned between road and cross. The geometry is also exactly in between. This means that this bike offers you a new type of riding, on any kind of ground, paved roads or gravel This is a new adventure type of bike that you can use to extend your riding experience. High compliance When you go on rough terrain, compliance is necessary to maintain both comfort and traction. Our Strasbourg71 carbon frame has a very light structure with a very high level of compliance. This is done with slim seat stays, a kink on the chain stay, and a specific lay-up on the seat stays. Tyre clearance We offer a high level of compliance on the tyre clearance; you want to ride with up to 40 mm tyres. On a gravel disc-brake bike, you can easily switch the wheels and if you want to go take a spin on the pavement, you use your road wheels and the next day, on the gravel section, you use your bigger tyres. Tyre clearance Chain catcher Nice features All the cable routing is internal. We have some nice features where the light carbon structure is protected with impact-resistant material below the downtube, as well as behind the seat tube, where you have a lot of stone impact during a gravel ride. We offer an integrated chain catcher, a very stiff front/rear hanger and of course disc brakes with a thru axle (12 mm front and rear). Protective layer 56 EDDY MERCKX CYCLES

The story behind the name In Eeklo, Eddy Merckx won a very unique cyclo-cross competition. It was a two-man race with the specialist Eric De Vlaeminck. Again this demonstrates Eddy Merckx s multiple talents in any kind of racing and his character and determination to win any kind of competition in which he competes. 63 EDDY MERCKX CYCLES 63

Internal cable routing Performance orientated As a Belgian brand with a huge cyclo-cross heritage, we wanted to develop a very performance-orientated cyclo-cross machine. You have to accelerate after each bend and after each climb. So the ratio stiffness to weight was the focus here. Higher bottom bracket We use a European-style geometry with a high bottom bracket. This higher bottom bracket gives you more clearance to go over obstacles and allows you to start pedalling faster after each corner. Thru axle fork Flat mount disc 64 EDDY MERCKX CYCLES

The story behind the name For Eddy Merckx, track-riding was always the ideal preparation for the sprint classics. He did a lot of competitions in the winter, and one of them was in Copenhagen in 1977, where he won the European Championship with his friend Patrick Sercu. 69 EDDY MERCKX CYCLES 69

Carbon seat post Stiffness & aerodynamics Besides the specific track geometry, with a higher bottom bracket and a shorter chainstay with an adapted front crank, the key features of the Copenhagen77 are its stiffness and aerodynamics. Alloy training bike We offer an alloy Copenhagen77 with a high-end carbon aero fork. This bike has a more versatile geometry and is basically your training bike for the winter season. Hard core track racing The carbon frame is almost twice as heavy as a regular road frame with plenty of material to keep up the stiffness. On the cross sections, we have huge sections on the bottom bracket, on the head tube in order to have very high stiffness for steering and transferring power. Equally, all these cross sections are optimised for an aerodynamic performance using teardrop shapes, giving the highest possible speed on the track. We also offer specific drop-outs with an adjustment range for the rear wheel and a high adjustment range on the seat post. This makes it a hard core racing machine on the track.

The story behind the name Even before he broke the world hour record in Mexico, it had been clear for some time that Eddy Merckx was an outstanding time trialist. As a 23-year old in Lugano, during the Tour de Suisse, he claimed the Lugano Grand Prix individual time trial in a record time. 73 EDDY MERCKX CYCLES 73

Aero optimized sections Less pain, more speed How can we make an athlete ride faster with less pain? It s all about the fitting. We offer the right fitting, which allows the athlete to maintain an aerodynamic position, even for a long Iron Man distance. We can cover both types of positions, with a huge adjustment range on the seat post. Seat post with wide fitting range Aerodynamic optimisation Fitting is the key to going fast, as is the aerodynamic optimisation of the frame and the fork. All of the profiles have been optimised with teardrop sections throughout the frame, from the head tube, downtube, the integrated seat tube, to the integrated seat post. All the cable routings are smoothly internalised and the rear brake is assembled on the bottom so it is as clean and integrated as possible, which means this is a very versatile time trial-triathlon machine to make the rider fast and comfortable. 74 EDDY MERCKX CYCLES

The story behind the name Eddy Merckx won Liège-Bastogne-Liège a total of five times. In 1975, he won this oldest of the one-day classics, La Doyenne, in a Molteni rainbow jersey, which confirmed his total supremacy. In 1970 the Paris-Roubaix classic was even more the 'Hell of the North': the weather was dreadful and Eddy had only had one day to recover from the previous competition. Nonetheless, he succeeded in finishing the Roubaix stage more than six minutes ahead of the field. 79 EDDY MERCKX CYCLES 79

Integrated bearings Modern steel Both frames are the modern interpretation of our way of producing steel frames. Nowadays we use thick welding which means tube-to-tube, connected by a weld. So thick welding is lighter and stiffer than lugs from the past. Carbon fork & Columbus tubing We also offer a full carbon fork that matches the properties of steel, with a high lateral stiffness, but also with a very high compliance to match the feeling of the steel stiffness while riding. We are still using Columbus tubing by the famous Italian tube maker. They custom-make all of these tubes for us. Other nice features on this frame are the integrated headset, cable stoppers, and guides, including the chain hanger from the past. Columbus tubes Chain holder 80 EDDY MERCKX CYCLES

Molteni orange frame Inspiring & safe We wanted to create a youth inspiring performance machine with a balanced and safe geometry. Young kids should be able to race in a safe way on different terrains. That's why we offer a maximum tyre clearance, ready for road and cross racing.
