Eddy Merckx Strasbourg Carbon Review: Merckx bikes are back with a range of custom options

Eddy Merckx bikes arrived back with a bang in January this year when the brand was relaunched. A new range of bikes was announced including road, all-road and gravel options available in steel, aluminium and carbon fibre.

Merckx bikes hadn’t disappeared completely from the cycling landscape but the past several years had been quiet for the brand after being acquired by the Belgium Cycling Factory parent company which also owns Ridley bikes. This means Merckx bikes stay based in Belgium, surely the brand’s spiritual home.
