Boundless cycling appetite
Belgian based drop bar bike manufacturer,
founded by The Cannibal.
The Eddy Merckx Company was established more than 35 years ago with a mission to produce the finest cycles in the world, and that goal hasn’t changed a bit.

Speed is never one thing.
It’s not just weight.
Not just aerodynamics.
It’s how everything comes together.
With the 525R, every detail plays its part.
A refined carbon frame.
Aero shapes pushed to the limit.
Stability where it matters most.
The result: 9% less drag.
And a bike that feels as fast as it is.

Our bikes have been getting a lot of attention lately...
"The Merckx 525R is the best aero road bike I've ever ridden, simply because it's not as uncompromising as a typical aero road bike of recent vintage."
We'll let BikeRadar do the talking. 😉

We didn’t start with the frame. We started with the rider.
The 525R is built around modern bike fitting.
A position you can hold longer. More aero, without giving up comfort.
A steeper seat angle keeps your hips where they need to be.
A longer reach brings balance between power and control.
A lower bottom bracket adds stability when speed builds.
Everything works together.
Not just to go fast, but to stay fast.

Everything in its place.

Proud as a peacock. 🦚
The first reviews of the Eddy Merckx 525R are in, praising its ability to combine blistering aero speed with all-day comfort. Exactly what we set out to achieve.
Wrapped in Mystic Peacock, one of our collection colours. As the light changes, so does the paint, revealing new shades from every angle. A bike you'll keep looking back at.

You've probably looked at it hundreds of times.
But do you know what SLT stands for?
Solid Lubrication Technology
Every new Eddy Merckx features CeramicSpeed SLT headset bearings: self-lubricating, corrosion-resistant and completely maintenance-free. That means no grease contamination, exceptional durability and smooth steering in every condition.
And because performance is personal, the new 525R is available with the Forza Nimbus Pro cockpit in two configurations:
⚡ 36 cc for a more aerodynamic position.
🤝 38 cc for riders who prefer a little more control and comfort.
The details make the difference. Even the ones hidden in plain sight.

What does it take to develop the fastest Eddy Merckx bike we've ever built?
In our latest story, we take you behind the scenes of the development process of the new 525R. From aerodynamic optimisation and geometry development to the unmistakable Merckx design language, and even a touch of Formula 1 inspiration.
For this story, Industrial Designer Alan Lacante gives us a behind-the-scenes look at how the 525R evolved from the first sketches to the final production bike. Countless iterations, countless hours of refinement, resulting in a race bike that has already received an overwhelmingly positive response.

Not every fast bike needs to shout.
Some just glide by in Dove Grey: quiet, composed, and effortlessly fast.
The 525R proves that understatement can be its own kind of statement.
