Eddy Merckx – 2011 E Series

New technologies for 2011 Eddy Merckx E-Series

OPTIMIZED STRUCTURAL REINFORCEMENT
Advanced high modular stiffness fibers are used in combination with high-strength fibers to achieve unparalleled performance. They are used in different strategic areas of the bike, as and when required. The front fork for example needs both for optimum weight reduction and improved stiffness and feel.

CARBON LAMINATE +
Carbon fiber bikes are made using sheets of carbon fiber, and these are built up in layers one on top of the other. The carbon laminate + FRG process, developed by and for Eddy Merckx cycles, assemble the FRG sheets together in ways that maximise the strength and rigidity of the resulting frame. The result? Optimized performance, comfort and weight.

New carbon fiber for the EMX-7
Most carbon fiber produced today is known as PAN (Polyacrylonitrile) and it has outstanding strength to weight ratio. It’s the composite that is used on most bicycle, including the EMX-5 range – these are top of the range bikes and also used by the entire Quick Step team. The new EMX-7 is trying something new. Using a rare carbon fiber mix known as Pitch Base, it offers a comparable strength to weight ratio, but has a higher tensile modulus value – a measurement of fiber stiffness. This means that there is virtually zero deformation on the frame in high-pressure situations, and friction is reduced. There is sadly just one draw back to Pitch Base carbon fiber and that is cost! Due to its rarity, it’s up to 10x more expensive than traditional materials.

Introducing the new Eddy Merckx EMX-7 Frame Kit
The new EMX-7 is a classic example. It uses advanced carbon fiber technology to produce the strongest, stiffest yet lightest racing bike of them all. When you ride one, you know you have the best. It’s the bike that Tom Boonen and the Quick Step Team will be using in year 2011, day in, day out, for every race and training session. It’s the illustration of what Eddy Merckx Cycles does best – namely producing the best engineered and best produced racing cycle on the planet.

2011 Eddy Merckx EMX-5 Frame Kit
The EMX-5 is Merckx’s more practical race machine, which a majority of their ProTour riders will use next season. Using Merckx’s traditional carbon composite, the EMX-5 looks similar to the EMX-7. However the EMX-5 uses a different fork, and doesn’t have the integrated seatmast like the EMX-7, instead using a traditional seatpost design. EMX-5 has a slightly different rear triangle design, with a major difference being its symmetrical construction, as opposed to the EMX-7′s asymmetrical design. Most other features carry over here. Same tapered headtube, same BB86 bottom bracket, and same aerofoil tubing shapes. The EMX 5 and 7 share almost the same geometry, with some tweaks being made in the seat tube to compensate for the different construction methods. Both incorporate the classic “Merckx” feel, overseen by Eddie himself, with a longer-than-normal trail and rake measurements, making these bikes legendary for their descending speed and handling.

2011 Eddy Merckx EMX-3 Frame Kit
Long-distance recreational riders haven’t been ignored either, with the slightly more upright EMX-3 gaining a tapered 1-1/8 to 1-1/4 in front end and all-new carbon fork, plus revised front triangle tube shapes will give it a slightly more relaxed geometry designed for comfort. Merckx is billing the EMX-3 as more of a “Gran Fondo” ride, with a little more give, and geometry designed for hours of comfort in the saddle. While shooting for comfort though, Merckx didn’t sacrifice performance. The EMX-3 keeps good power transfer by adding stiffness where needed, like the bottom bracket and front end. A good fit for riders looking for comfort and performance, the EMX-3 fits perfectly into the Merckx as their intermediate level carbon road bike.

• Performance geometry
• Colour: Metallic / Red White / Black

2011 Eddy Merckx EMX-1 Frame Kit
The EMX-1 “The superb handling is the most pronounced ride characteristic of the EMX-1. It is both comfortable and stiff, but its real strength is the feeling of confidence it inspires around corners and how true it seems to ride in a group.” A full carbon fork softens the ride and keeps the whole package light, while retaining the racing inspired aero fork shaping. The EMX-1 also uses the increasingly popular tapering steertube, which goes from the standard 1 1/8″ up to 1 1/4″ to improve front end stiffness. The beefy carbon seatstay should provide plenty of riding comfort. Merckx stressed the comfort and rideability of both the EMX-1 and the EMX-3, thanks to features like this.

• Fork: Carbon fork 1 1/4 – 1 1/8
• Carbon Laminate +

• Performance geometry
• Colour: Black / Red White / Black Gray
