Eddy Merckx Mendrisio 105 Road Bike

The Mendrisio is an all-round endurance road bike. Named after the place where Eddy Merckx won his second world title in 1971, it is a very capable all-round road bike. At the time, Mendrisio was a battle between Merckx and his eternal rival Felice Gimondi. Gimondi attacked time and again, but could not shake off his younger rival. The race ended in a sprint, which Merckx won thanks to his explosiveness.

That explosiveness is in the Mendrisio. It is a fast, performance-oriented and comfortable endurance bike made for long rides.

Features

• The distinctive curved seat stays of the Mendrisio improve comfort and compliance while ensuring optimal power transfer and stiffness. This seat tube design is characteristic of Eddy Merckx bikes, contributing to the unique look and feel of every Merckx bike. It results in a one of a kind ride feel.
• You can opt for an aero cockpit. But you can also go for a traditional handlebar, or a combination: a 'Deda superbox' that elegantly conceals the cables.
• For the frame of the Mendrisio, we use High Modulus Carbon. This is stiff but supple enough to bring long rides to an end without any worries. Combined with the all-round geometry, this results in a fast and versatile bike.
