2016 Eddy Merckx Mourenx 69 : 105 11 Speed

Season:2016

Brand:Eddy Merckx

Code:EM-M69105

In 1961 Eddy Merckx began his cycling career and over the following 17 years became a cycling legend. He is unquestionably the best cyclist ever; having won 5 Tours de France, 5 Giro d'Italia, 3 World Championships, 7 Milan-San Remos (a record unequalled to this day), and having beaten the World Hour Record - to name a few of his victories. In all he won 525 races, an all time record.

Eddy won his fist Tour in 1969: he won six stages, the General classification (yellow jersey), the points (green jersey) and the climbing classification (polka-dot jersey). If the white jersey (best under-25) had been around then, Merckx would have won that, too.

That is why they called him "The Cannibal”

The Eddy Merckx Company was established 30 years ago with a mission to produce the finest cycles in the world. Eddy is still at the heart of the company and his eye for detail and quality pushes the company to ever higher standards. He is an integral part of the design process and always tests each new model himself.

Eddy Merckx was and still is, fastidious about ride position and maintenance of his bikes. Not only would he test the patience of his mechanics before races, he would often stop in the middle of a race just to adjust his seatpost by a fraction of an inch - and still win the race - and it is this almost maniacal attention to the minutest detail that comes through in the development and construction of his bikes today.

The 214.5 km epic ride from Luchon to Mourenx in stage 17 of the 1969 Tour de France was gruelling and one which Merckx won with a 140km solo break and finished 8 minutes ahead of his contenders. It provided the inspiration for an exceptional endurance race bike : The Mourenx 69. With asymmetric chainstays to ensure perfect balance coupled with a taller headtube, shorter top-tube and a slightly extended wheelbase, the rider can feel more confident as a result of the exceptional stability these characteristics lend to the ride. A slightly downsized BB and longer seatstays provide maximum shock absorption and remove road 'buzz' which can sap a rider's energy over longer distances or on uneven surfaces; making this Mourenx 69 ideal not only for Fondos and sportives but for the roads of Great Britain in general!

The Mourenx 69 shares the same carbon materials as those used in the well received and critically acclaimed San Remo 76 race bike. Careful materials selection and application are essential to produce top en bikes and Merckx has introduced CL+ and OSR technologies derived from a deep understanding of different fiber properties and based upon very specific material selection. OSR or Optimised Structural Reinforcement is a process of augmenting particular areas of the frame to improve stiffness and strength while reducing weight and adding to the ride 'feel' and similar processes are adopted by other brands like Colnago for example. This is achieved by using a combination of High Modulus fibres to reduce weight and increase stiffness blended with high-strength fibres. The CL+ Carbon Laminate process developed by Merckx is a method of optimising the rigidity of the frame by laying the carbon sheets in specific orientations which in turn yields the best balance of stiffness, comfort and weight.

Designed with Merckx's 'Power under control' as a guiding philosophy the Mourenx 69, like all Merckx bikes is built with stiffness, speed, stability and safety in harmony. Every Merckx bike has almost zero distortion in the frame even under the high loads delivered by the pros and this ultimately leads to optimal power transfer. However, in order to safely utilise this delivered power, the Mourenx 69's geometry in combination with the use of carefully selected resins and carbon fibres, is optimised to give incredible stability to the bike, allowing the rider every confidence be it out of the saddle, cornering or descending, whatever the speed and it is this combination of stability and stiffness which yields Merckx's third 'S' - Speed. The marriage of these key elements yields a strong, rigid bike that is the best guarantee of a safe ride and to this end all Merckx frames come with a lifetime warranty. 

This version of the Mourenx 69 is equipped with Shimano's new benchmark 11 speed 105 groupset for silky smooth and reliable shifting. Fulcrum Racing 5 wheels with the superb Vittoria Rubino Pro tyres take care of rolling duties. An impressive array of parts from the likes of Prologo and Deda in the form of their Zero II saddle and Trentacinque / M35 bar and stem combination respectively, completes the beautiful looking Mourenx 69 that is guaranteed to deliver on even the toughest rides.

The Mourenx 69 is available in 5 sloping sizes from 42 (XS) - 54 (XL). If you are unsure of which size best suits you then please take a look at the 'Virtual CC' on the geometry chart below for reference. Alternatively, email us - we're happy to guide you.
