Last Sunday, the Eddy Merckx Corsa Titanium attracted plenty of attention at the UCI Gravel World Championships, where Dylan Vandenstorme took on the world’s best. The idea came from our R&D manager, who proposed testing the bike in the most prestigious race of the season — a challenge the 23-year-old Team Flanders-Baloise rider gladly accepted. Dylan pushed through to finish 112th, joking afterwards that he wouldn’t mind keeping the bike.

More than just a funky ride: Capri-Sun and Eddy Merckx Bikes Join Forces for a Good Cause

With Capri-Sun, we’re breathing new life into a nostalgic collaboration that dates back to the early 1980s. Cycling enthusiasts will remember the Capri-Sonne team that rode Eddy Merckx bikes in 1982. Now we’re teaming up again, this time for a special charity initiative: the Capri-Sun Pévèle.

The bikes can be ordered starting May 16, not coincidentally on the International Day of Living Together in Peace.

The Warmth of a Hopeful Sunbeam: The Unforgettable Year of Capri Sonne-Merckx

July 21, 1982 – on Belgium’s National Holiday, the modest Capri Sonne – Campagnolo – Merckx team experiences its greatest triumph.

Just a year later, the squad disappears from the peloton, but its fruity aftertaste still lingers to this day.
