Futuristic Design
The 525 is, of course, made entirely of carbon fibre and,
as were the other Eddy Merckx carbon frames, it has been
reinforced with Optimised Structural Reinforcement (OSR).
But that’s pretty much as far as the comparison can take
us. The first thing that strikes one is the futuristic appearance of the frame: the tubes are not round, but they are not
square, either. They make curves and angles that have seldom been seen in competitive cycling before. That extreme
design also resulted in the Aerofork II - the fork at the front
that is partly integrated into the frame – which is even more
pronounced. The 525 has also been given a solid head for
even more sturdiness and an asymmetrical rear for the ideal
distribution of forces.
Electronic Only
The frame of the EMX-525 has been designed specially and
exclusively for electronic gear shifts. With that decision,
Eddy Merckx Cycles has made a resolute decision for the
future and for optimal performance in terms of both changing gears and the frame. The aggressive back to the future
look, extreme aerodynamics and the decisive choice for
electronic shifting make the EMX-525 a full-blooded racing
horse. A horse that can be seen on the tracks starting next
season. The Topsport Flanders / Mercator Pro Cycling Team
will be riding the new EMX-525 bike then.

CONCEPT ENGINEERING
AND DESIGN
DETAILED DESIGN
First sketches are produced at this stage, and despite what anyone says there’s
always some sort of a trade-off. It’s a mixture of looks, price and performance.
With the last two being measurable and quantifiable. This stage often starts
almost 18 months to 2 years ahead of the actual bike getting to the dealers, so
while there’s scope for change, there’s also a deadline and a launch date. A lot
of the work is done here, and production options and decisions are mapped
out. A host of different elements come into the mix here: geometry, frame
sizes, loads, stresses, manufacturing, parts, orders, stock etc.
Now there is a clear idea of what the bike will look like, and the established Eddy Merckx look and style is
integrated into the design. After the first sketches and long fruitful discussions with Eddy, the engineers
start to nail down the final frame geometry - and this for the different frame sizes. As some of you may remember, Eddy was always fiddling about with his bikes - he was even known to fiddle about during a race,
often changing the height of his saddle. With his 50 years of experience at the heart of the bike world,
there is no-one better at detailing just what it takes to make a better bike. He can see things that others
can´t, in fact you could say that Eddy is the best test pilot there is. It is his tweaks and adjustments on the
final angles and lengths of the seat posts, wheelbase and trail that - amongst the most important of measurements - make all the difference.
Before moving into actual frame prototypes, the detailed bike design is fully tested and structurally analysed by
technical research engineers at the University of Gent. They work with the 3-D computer models of the bikes,
measuring and pushing the limits using different materials and composites.

Strength through Partnership
The ETT is a magnificent time trial bike. It is the result of a great
deal of research and development. The fact Eddy Merckx Cycles
is looking for inspiration at Lexus should not surprise anyone: the
carmaker has always been one step ahead of its competition in
terms of technology, after all. And that is how Eddy Merckx wants
to distinguish itself in the future: by investing in carbon technology and by optimizing the bikes further through aerodynamics.
Rigorous wind tunnel testing shows the ETT’s revolutionary Venturi Power Box’s ability to reduce aerodynamic drag by opening
the leading edge of the down tube. This is all able to be achieved
without loss of frame stiffness due to Eddy Merckx’s Optimized
Structual Reinforcement technology. These Venturi “Slots” have
been approved for racing by the UCI, and are exclusively available on the ETT.

The inspiration for this new range of
Eddy Merckx Cycles is
nothing less than the bike that broke
the one-hour record in Mexico City in
1972. A sleek, simple and strong track
bike and made of steel - it is designed
to be ridden in the city, and to be used
on streets and roads whatever their
condition. It’s also painted in that inimitable orange colour that reminds us
all of Eddy in Mexico.
