Eddy Merckx Unveils Premium Titanium Models: The Corsa Pévèle Ti and Corsa Strasbourg Ti
Eddy Merckx Bicycles has expanded its esteemed Corsa range with two new titanium models: the Corsa Pévèle Ti and the Corsa Strasbourg Ti. These additions blend the brand’s rich heritage with modern engineering, offering cyclists unparalleled performance and durability.
Craftsmanship and Materials
Both models are handcrafted in Italy using Columbus Hyperion titanium tubing, renowned for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to corrosion. This collaboration with Columbus, a longstanding partner of Eddy Merckx, ensures a frame that is both lightweight and robust. Final assembly is conducted at the Belgian Cycling Factory in Beringen, Belgium, maintaining the brand’s commitment to quality and precision. (eddymerckx.com)
Corsa Pévèle Ti: Versatility Redefined
The Corsa Pévèle Ti is engineered to seamlessly transition between road and gravel terrains. Its geometry features a slightly lower bottom bracket, lowering the center of gravity for enhanced stability and control. The wheelbase is marginally shorter than that of a traditional gravel bike, ensuring responsive handling. With tire clearance up to 40 mm for 1x drivetrains and 38 mm for 2x setups, it accommodates a wide range of surfaces. Mounting points on the top tube and for mudguards add to its practicality.

Corsa Strasbourg Ti: Built for Adventure
Designed for demanding gravel terrains, the Corsa Strasbourg Ti emphasizes stability and control. Its geometry offers a low center of gravity, providing a composed ride on rough surfaces. With tire clearance up to 50 mm, it is tailored for long gravel rides and adventurous excursions. The frame and fork are equipped with multiple mounting points for bags, accessories, and mudguards, enhancing its versatility. (eddymerckx.com)
Customization and Availability
Both models are available through Eddy Merckx’s online configurator, allowing riders to personalize their bikes. The brushed titanium finish serves as a foundation, complemented by customizable accents. Riders can select the color of the logos on the head tube and down tube, as well as matching Wolf Tooth components, available in five colors. These titanium models are equipped with CeramicSpeed SLT headset bearings and T47 Alpha bottom brackets (excluding Campagnolo builds), all backed by a lifetime warranty. (eddymerckx.com)

The Corsa Ti models are made for riders who want one bike they can rely on for a lifetime, combining heritage, versatility, and modern performance.” (eddymerckx.com)
