Some Sizes and Colors not Available for Immediate Delivery


Eddy Merckx CXM, AXM and EXM frames are constructed with materials and technologies that have been certified to aeronautical standards. The frames are made in an autoclave and have a full carbon monocoque construction. This means they are one piece frames rather than a set of tubes joined by lugs or some other conjunction method. The only additions are the aluminum finishing pieces in the bottom bracket, head tube, bottle bosses and the rear dropouts.
The choice of fibers employed in the lamination of the frame are derived from careful studies that indicate which fibers to use in the different areas of the frame. This research insures that the frame will have the ride characteristics that Eddy Merckx demands of his bicycles.
All the fibers are pre-impregnated with epoxy resins derived from the aerospace industry. This system of impregnation guarantees that every cm3 of material has the same resin content, the same weight and identical chemical composition. The fibers selected for the construction of these frames are of 4 different types:
T700 Tenax - with a Tensile Strength of 49.5 tons and Tensile Modulus of 21 tons per cm2.
UTS Tenax - with a Tensile Strength of 48.3 tons and Tensile Modulus of 25 tons per cm2.
T300 Tenax - top layer enhances aesthetic by providing one continuous surface.
K210 fiber - serves to dampen and absorb the blows and vibrations due to normal riding conditions.
The above materials are all of several types depending on their positioning within the frame. These vary among plain, balanced, unidirectional, twill and bi-axis.
EMX-3 features a 30HM12K Carbon Fiber for exceptional complaince and versatility for many types of roads.
