Eddy Merckx Bikes and Campagnolo have a rich history together. During his glory years, The Cannibal consistently rode frames equipped with iconic Campagnolo groupsets. This strong relationship has always remained, as demonstrated by the Capri Sonne - Campagnolo - Merckx team, which achieved successes in the 1980s with Peter Winnen in the Tour de France. That is why we are delighted to once again offer bikes equipped with Campagnolo components today. You can choose components from the Italian manufacturer on the 525R, the Corsa Pévèle and the Corsa Strasbourg.

Cycling is going through a period of major transition, and Campagnolo has faced challenging times as well. Today, the Italian brand is determined to return to the top and, given our shared history with Eddy Merckx Bikes, we are happy to be part of that journey. On the brand-new, award-winning 525R, for example, you can opt for the Campagnolo Super Record 2x13 groupset. This bike is completed with a Campagnolo Bora WTO 45 wheelset. The result is a high-end race bike with unmistakable Italian accents. The bike is also available through our configurator, allowing you to choose the design and colours of your dreams.

Better rider positioning leads to better performance

525R

The 525R is a performance road bike that redefines what it means to be fast. Aerodynamics and low weight remain at the core of modern race bikes, but with the 525R we go one step further. Our approach is bold: a geometry revolution designed to put riders in the fastest possible position without sacrificing comfort.

Titanium line

Campagnolo also has a place in the titanium range of Eddy Merckx Bikes. On the Corsa Strasbourg TI, you have the option to choose Campagnolo Super Record X 1x13. This groupset is paired with a Campagnolo Bora X 50 wheelset. The result is an absolute gem that can confidently be considered a bike for life. The same groupset and wheelset combination is also available on the Corsa Pévèle TI. Here, you have the additional option of choosing Campagnolo Super Record 2x13, paired with a Campagnolo Bora WTO wheelset. A choice between a gravel setup or a road setup. This means you can enjoy Campagnolo on every type of terrain: road (525R), all-road (Pévèle) and gravel (Strasbourg).

Confidence on challenging gravel

Corsa Strasbourg Ti

The Corsa Strasbourg Ti is designed to handle demanding gravel terrain with confidence. Its geometry features a low centre of gravity, delivering a smooth, composed ride and excellent control on rough surfaces. With 50 mm tire clearance, the Strasbourg Ti is built for long gravel adventures and challenging conditions. The Strasbourg Ti also features multiple mounting points on the frame and fork, offering additional options for carrying bags and accessories as well as mudguards.

All-road precision

Corsa Pévèle Ti

The Corsa Pévèle Ti combines the strengths of road and gravel bikes into a versatile all-road platform. A slightly lower bottom bracket than that of a traditional road bike lowers the centre of gravity, enhancing stability and control. A wheelbase just shorter than a gravel bike keeps the handling lively and responsive. Tire clearance reaches 40 mm with a 1x drivetrain and 38 mm with a 2x setup, allowing riders to adapt the bike to a wide variety of surfaces. The Pévèle Ti also features mounting points on the top tube as well as mounting points for mudguards.

Heritage

In these turbulent times for the cycling industry, we are proud that Eddy Merckx Bikes, as a historic brand, continues to stand strong. We have achieved some magnificent successes in the past, and with the 525R, we remain at the top of the peloton today — something recently confirmed by BikeRadar's award for 'Best Road Bike'. The fact that this top-tier bike is now also available with a brand that we have shared so many successes with makes the circle complete. A smooth-running chain, quite literally and figuratively!

Strasbourg Corsa Steel gets a fresh new look

The Strasbourg has long been a classic within the Eddy Merckx range. In 1971, the Cannibal won a memorable Tour de France stage over unpaved roads into Strasbourg, and just like that iconic victory, the Strasbourg has always felt at home on gravel roads and forest trails. Now it's time for the bike to enter a new chapter. The new Strasbourg Corsa Steel is a tribute to the greatest of all time and a true masterpiece for riders who appreciate steel, craftsmanship and all-day riding comfort.
