CT scans for all EM525 forks and frames
Eddy Merckx Cycles is adding a new string to its bow. All EM525 forks and frames will be CT-scanned. In this way, Eddy Merckx Cycles seeks to demonstrate its commitment to quality and the reason why we can offer a Strict Lifetime Warranty on all bikes in our range.
CT scans (Computed Tomography, using X-ray technology) of the forks and frames will be carried out during both the R&D (Research & Development) and QC (Quality Control) phases. As a result, riders can have complete confidence as they push themselves to the limit on their Eddy Merckx racing bikes.
The CT scans of the forks and frames will be used to examine the following points:
- Is the tube wall as thick as it should be at all points? Are there any anomalies?
- Are there any wrinkles in the lay-up?
- Have the carbon layers bonded well? Is there any air between them?
These issues are difficult to detect without a CT scan. That's why Eddy Merckx Cycles performs 100% quality checks, taking the word "quality" to a whole new level.
