The EMX-3 is designed using the more relaxed Performance Geometry, which offers a sloping top tube and is ideal for riders with competitive aspirations who also require a bike comfortable enough for sportive events and long club rides.

Carbon Laminate + technology allows Merckx to tailor the lay-up of the carbon for individual requirements, meaning this frame can be made stiff around the BB and headtube areas, while remaining comfortable over rougher roads, and Merckx's Optimised Structural Reinforcementensure light weight and durability.

For 2013, the frame has been updated with an improved layup over the previous frame, resulting in a lighter weight, and been designed with the option to run the cables internally for electronic or cable operated shifting.

Campagnolo's 11 Speed Athena Carbon Groupset keeps weight down, the power transfer high and the bike looking great.

The name Eddy Merckx is one of the few that should need absolutely no introduction, even to non riders, After an unprecedented career, Eddy created his own cycle company in 1980, just 3 years after he stopped racing. It was an opportunity to get back into the business he loved, and the world he knew most about. The company started in an old farmhouse in Meise, near Brussels and little by little started producing top of the range racing bicycles. The company has grown significantly over the past 30 years and moved to a larger production facility, but one thing however hasn't changed, the attention to detail and love of bikes that everyone in the company shares.

Eddy has always been obsessed with bikes - in fact it wasn't unusual for him to get up in the middle of the night to change something on his handlebars or gears. Position, fit and feel are incredibly important for him - on his own bike and on those of others too. This innate understanding of how a bike should be (a result of talent and many years of experience) is key for the design of every Eddy Merckx bicycle.

The whole range of bikes has been designed with this philosophy in mind. Each bike is supremely comfortable to ride, and all deliver a true feel for the road, whilst the use of modern design, advanced materials and production techniques combine to give outstanding levels of lightness and strength. Built to withstand years of riding and racing, there has never been a recorded failure of an Eddy Merckx frame during pro level competition, the company has so much belief in the quality of their frames that they feature a lifetime warranty.

Redesigned Carbon Technology Seat Stays
The wishbone seat stays have been redesigned with a slightly curved construction, as a result there is greater lateral stiffness and vertical compliance. Strong riders and sprinters will benefit from the extra lateral rigidity while comfort has been taken to a higher level.

Replaceable Aluminium Vertical Dropouts
The combination of a carbon rear triangle with replaceable aluminium vertical dropouts brings the best of both worlds together - the lightness you expect from a top level racing bike with the strength to resist a crash or rear derailleur failure.

Oversized Bottom Bracket
The massive bottom bracket guarantees the best possible power transfer, so every watt you put on the pedals is transformed into forward motion.

Tapered Oversized Headtube
The oversized, tapered head tube makes the front end much stiffer so the bike handles better and steers with extreme precision. The oversized lower bearings also help dampen the vibrations coming from the front wheel.

Aerodynamic Design
Both the front fork and the seat stays are aerodynamically designed to allow the bike to cut through the air more efficiently.
