Eddy Merckx 2015 Complete Bikes are here!

2015 Eddy Merckx EMX 525 Complete Bike @ $7000
Why this is the best balanced bike in the world.
The 525 is made entirely of carbon fibre and as were the other Eddy Merckx carbon frames it has been reinforced with Optimised Structural Reinforcement (OSR). The first thing that strikes you 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 rarely 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. The frame of the EMX-525 has been designed especially 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 Top sport Flanders / Mercator Pro Cycling Team will be riding the new EMX-525 bike then.

The EMX-525 is named after the total number of victories Eddy had during the course of his race career. Both ultra stiff and light, it uses a combination of shape design and a unique carbon fiber mix that barely distorts or twists at all. It means that virtually all of a rider’s power is converted into rapid forward motion, and there is little or no wastage.

2015 Eddy Merckx MOURENX 69 (Available in DI2) @ $4200 (DI2 $4600)
GO FOR LONG ESCAPES
Mourenx69 refers to Merckx’s win in the 17th stage of the 1969 Tour de France. This 214.5 km epic ride from Luchon to Mourenx provided the inspiration for an exceptional endurance race bike. Its asymmetric chainstay ensures perfect balance while its downsized BB and longer seatstays provide maximum shock absorption. The bike also has a slightly higher head tube and shorter top tube enabling a more upright position, which is crucial for long distance races.

Mourenx 69 bikes are superbly constructed and tested, and for this reason they offer a lifetime warraty of the frame and forks. As well as this their range are UCI legal so you can take your beautiful new Mourrenx bike racing.

2015 Eddy Merckx EMX – 1 @ $2600
Why it’s time to discover carbon
The EMX-1 is the perfect race bike to discover carbon. If you have been riding high end aluminium frames or just fancy making the step up to carbon, step up to the EMX. Not just any old carbon, but some of the best in the business, Merckx cycles. The frameset is stiff and light with an ideal geometry for longer rides that is defined by comfort. It is the ideal way into the Merckx brand, their legendary innovation and race proven success. It is a bike for all seasons, all events including racing as it is UCI race weight legal, in keeping with other bikes in the range. The EMX-1 is well equipped with Shimano 105 for those on a budget yet lacks no of the riding performance or quality of the EMX-5 or the new bikes in the range, the San Remo 76 and Mourenx 69.

In-house sourcing and careful material selection are vital to deliver the best high-end race bikes. Eddy Merckx Cycles introduced CL+- and OSR-technologies derived from a deep understanding of different fibre properties and based upon very specific material selection. The Carbon Laminate + process developed by and for Eddy Merckx Cycles, assemble the carbon fibre sheets together in ways that maximize the strength and rigidity of the frame. Optimized performance, comfort and weight. The EMX-1 2015. A superb value for money bike that will keep your passion burning long through the winter and into the long summer days.

The aerodynamic of Corima Carbon
At Corima, they place a great deal of importance on the aerodynamic performance of their wheels. Over 20 years ago, they developed a high-performance composite disc wheel. In 1993, Chris Boardman used their equipment, frame and wheels to achieve the most symbolic of records in technological terms.

Since then, they have constantly innovated to maintain their lead, and this has made the Corima range of wheels the most sophisticated in the world for aerodynamics, which is so vital to the cyclist’s performance.

Their experts carry out computer simulations to constantly try and reduce drag. This research involves optimising friction pressure on the various surfaces of the wheel and tyre. They also work to improve the air flow speed and air flow separators on the wheel to obtain a wheel that requires as little power as possible to move forward and spin.

They have designed dozens of prototypes and repeatedly cross-referenced the precise results achieved by their various models on their test benches. When they then validate their best projects in the wind tunnel, they know that the hours of experience that they have accumulated and the use of the most sophisticated technologies make their wheels unique in the world.

The latest aerodynamic research carried out in their research centre has led to a new rim design that they call Concept 2D. This new shape improves air flow and increases the rigidity of the tubular rim.

roues-bois

Concept 2D
Concept 2D, which was first used on the 3 spoke carbon wheel, which is positioned as the best suited wheel to the triathlon and time trials, has now been transposed to the Disc, VIVA “S”, UP “S”, AERO+, WINIUM+ and MCC wheels.

concept_2D

The spoking of corima carbon wheels: 12 spokes on the cassette side and 8 on the left
All their spoked wheels are hand-built. The rear AERO+, WINIUM+, VIVA “S” and UP “S” wheels are built with 20 spokes whose positioning in the rim was very well studied.

The drive side (cassette side) is built with 12 spokes crossed 3 times, a setting that has proven over the years to provide the best transmission of power from the cy- clist to the driving wheel. The left side of the wheel is built with 8 spokes.

This arrangement allows for a more uni- form tension across all of the spokes. This makes the wheel faster providing excellent stiffness. It also improves the wheel’s ability to remain running “true” and in- creases the spokes durability. In addition, this specific spoke arrangement gives the rear wheel a very modern and technical look.

Carbon and aluminum hubs for carbon wheels
Corima has been designing its own hubs for more than 20 years. The hub is very important on a wheel and it must be designed in the same time of the composite part (rim) in order to optimize the product.

Developed by their design office, their aluminum hubs are made in France from the best alloys by precision engineering specialists using the most up-to-date machining equipment.

The “S” version in chromeplated aluminium benefits from the latest innovation with, for example, a 30-tooth free-wheel ratchet ring and a Ø 17 mm titanium/aluminium spindle.

The carbon model is made with an exclusive moulding technique combining strength and lightness with an exceptional finish. Corima hubs are also fitted with top of the range cartridge bearings.

Corima Wheelset are here!

The Corima wheels are designed and manufactured in France
Corima is a world leading company in the design and the manufacturing of high performance composite parts. In 1998, Corima puts its technical skills into the manufacturing of wheels and bike frames. Corima’s know-how is unique and their company is well known for its constant innovation. Innovations that involved a real revolution of all the materials in all the cycling disciplines. In this very competitive market, it’s the quality and the innovation of the Corima products that establish the worldwide reputation of the brand.

Due to their experience in working with composite materials, they control all of the steps in the manufacturing process to make your product “unique”: the design, the production, the control and the after-sales service, everything being made in their plant in Loriol sur Drôme (26) in France.

3D – CAD – Tooling – Design
ToolingThe ability to design and produce all the molds, tools and special machines required to properly implement the manufacturing process. This global experience allows them to offer you a range of products of excellent quality and very good value for money.

DesignIn the development of a product, they determine the technical specifications, where they include both their sales department and their customers to clearly understand the product requirements then arrives the phase of conceptual design of the product as well as the design of the production process. They design their own machines to make the products, and this allows them to control the process and to respond quickly to repair, maintenance and quality issues.

Production / Controls
All of Corima products are manufactured at their plant in Loriol sur Drôme (26) in France and are carried out by their qualified, skilled and attentive personnel. To achieve its desired level of performance, Corima has chosen to manufacture its prorducts from pre-impregnated carbon sheets and fibres. Each pre-impregnated part has to be put in position, ensuring that the fibres are correctly orientated in a vital, determined order and with a strict eye on the quality procedure.

The aerodynamic of Corima Carbon
At Corima, they place a great deal of importance on the aerodynamic performance of their wheels. Over 20 years ago, they developed a high-performance composite disc wheel. In 1993, Chris Boardman used their equipment, frame and wheels to achieve the most symbolic of records in technological terms.

Since then, they have constantly innovated to maintain their lead, and this has made the Corima range of wheels the most sophisticated in the world for aerodynamics, which is so vital to the cyclist’s performance.

Their experts carry out computer simulations to constantly try and reduce drag. This research involves optimising friction pressure on the various surfaces of the wheel and tyre. They also work to improve the air flow speed and air flow separators on the wheel to obtain a wheel that requires as little power as possible to move forward and spin.

They have designed dozens of prototypes and repeatedly cross-referenced the precise results achieved by their various models on their test benches. When they then validate their best projects in the wind tunnel, they know that the hours of experience that they have accumulated and the use of the most sophisticated technologies make their wheels unique in the world.

The latest aerodynamic research carried out in their research centre has led to a new rim design that they call Concept 2D. This new shape improves air flow and increases the rigidity of the tubular rim.

Concept 2D
Concept 2D, which was first used on the 3 spoke carbon wheel, which is positioned as the best suited wheel to the triathlon and time trials, has now been transposed to the Disc, VIVA “S”, UP “S”, AERO+, WINIUM+ and MCC wheels.

concept_2D

The spoking of corima carbon wheels: 12 spokes on the cassette side and 8 on the left
All their spoked wheels are hand-built. The rear AERO+, WINIUM+, VIVA “S” and UP “S” wheels are built with 20 spokes whose positioning in the rim was very well studied.

The drive side (cassette side) is built with 12 spokes crossed 3 times, a setting that has proven over the years to provide the best transmission of power from the cy- clist to the driving wheel. The left side of the wheel is built with 8 spokes.

This arrangement allows for a more uni- form tension across all of the spokes. This makes the wheel faster providing excellent stiffness. It also improves the wheel’s ability to remain running “true” and in- creases the spokes durability. In addition, this specific spoke arrangement gives the rear wheel a very modern and technical look.

This arrangement allows for a more uniform tension across all of the spokes. This makes the wheel faster providing excellent stiffness. It also improves the wheel’s ability to remain running “true” and increases the spokes durability. In addition, this specific spoke arrangement gives the rear wheel a very modern and technical look.

Carbon and aluminum hubs for carbon wheels
Corima has been designing its own hubs for more than 20 years. The hub is very important on a wheel and it must be designed in the same time of the composite part (rim) in order to optimize the product.

Developed by their design office, their aluminum hubs are made in France from the best alloys by precision engineering specialists using the most up-to-date machining equipment.

The “S” version in chromeplated aluminium benefits from the latest innovation with, for example, a 30-tooth free-wheel ratchet ring and a Ø 17 mm titanium/aluminium spindle.

The carbon model is made with an exclusive moulding technique combining strength and lightness with an exceptional finish. Corima hubs are also fitted with top of the range cartridge bearings.

Carbon AERO+ MCC : The most innovative carbon wheelset
The full carbon wheelset (Including the spokes) “made by Corima” has a unique design* with the most innovative** technical specification. Both the front and the rear aero+mcc wheels are built with only 12 carbon spokes. The aero+mcc wheels will truly be the stars of your bike!

The most appropriate, high performance carbon fiber is used to provide the aero+mcc carbon wheel with excellent rotational inertia without sacrificing its strength. A brand new carbon fiber layering technique has allowed Corima to create the aero+mcc carbon wheels with the minimum number of spokes for improved aerodynamics and lateral stiffness that is far higher than any other competitor’s wheels.

The exceptional quality of these carbon spokes reduces the ground drift while riding and improves your performance. Riding Corima aero+mcc wheelset is pure pleasure! The pleasure of feeling light when climbing, of being faster than ever on flat roads and of being oh so responsive in the sprints!
