Corsa Strasbourg

The Corsa Strasbourg is a steel gravel beast. It's the right companion for demanding off-road rides. Made in Belgium with Columbus tubes.

Double / Triple butted tubes

With Double or Triple butted tubes, we're talking about two or three different tube thicknesses. The more tube thicknesses are used, the lighter the bike will be. The places where the tubes are welded together should be sturdier than in the middle, for example. Making this middle section thinner also saves weight.

Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH)

Every Eddy Merckx Corsa bicycle is equipped with a Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH). The UDH is a standardised solution for attaching a bike's derailleur to the frame.

The UDH makes it easy to replace your derailleur, whatever brand it is. In addition, the hanger ensures better and more consistent shifting behaviour.

Gravel frame

The Strasbourg's geometry is designed to handle the most challenging gravel rides. The low centre of gravity gives the bike a very smooth and controlled ride, allowing you to tackle rough terrain with confidence.

Tyres up to 48 mm fit on the Corsa Strasbourg.

Columbus steel

For the Corsa bikes, we use a mix of Columbus Zona and SL tubes.

The SL in Columbus 'SL' stands for 'Supper Leggera', or super light.It is the most famous Columbus set. Designed for high peformance. They are double butted seamless tubes that are cold worked. They are extremely resistant to metal fatigue.

Columbus Zona tubes are very strong and durable: they have excellent resistance, are reliable and well resistant to metal fatigue. Yet the weight of this type of tubes is relatively low. The steel consists of Triple/Double butted 25CroMo4 alloy seamless tubeset

This mix makes for a fast, agile and comfortable bike. A bike that reflects the typical characteristics of steel bikes resilience, robustness and durability.

Handmade in Italy

„Corsa“ ist seit der Gründung von Eddy Merckx Bikes im Jahr 1980 das Qualitätslabel für hochwertige Stahlräder.

Bis vor kurzem wurden die Stahlrahmen von Johan Vranckx geschweißt, der seit seinem 16. Lebensjahr für Eddy Merckx Rahmen schweißt. Er hat das Handwerk bei De Rosa in Italien gelernt.

Jetzt, da Johan in den Ruhestand gegangen ist, sind wir zu den Wurzeln zurückgekehrt: Die Corsa-Rahmen werden heute in Italien handgefertigt.
