There will always be a lot to say about Eddy Merckx. He is regarded as the greatest road cyclist in history. With that type of pedigree, racing bikes with his name on the them are held to the highest standards. Here's the latest road race machine to bear the Cannibal's moniker, the EM525 Disc Performance.

- Inside: Eddy Merckx Cycles
There are two EM525 Discs available: Performance and Endurance. In addition to the differing geometries, the weight, stiffness and compliance also differ slightly.
For the Performance series, Merckx designs its bikes with four guiding principles. In order they are: geometry, it has to be an aerodynamic position; stiffness, for power transfer and handling; lightweight, for acceleration and climbing; and system integration, for clean lines.
