Unleashing the Capri-Sun x Eddy Merckx Pévèle C Limited Edition: A Nostalgic Ride for a Worthy Cause
Capri-Sun and cycling icon Eddy Merckx team up for a charitable collaboration
Step back in time as Capri-Sun and Eddy Merckx team up once more, bringing us the Capri-Sun x Eddy Merckx Pévèle C! Inspired by the rad '80s Capri Sonne–Campagnolo–Merckx pro cycling team, this bad boy boasts a sleek carbon fibre all-road frame, designed to give you the freedom to tackle both smooth roads and gravel trails with ease.
This beauty can accommodate tyres up to 38mm wide, ensuring you're ready for whatever the adventure throws your way. Shimano's 12-speed 105 Di2 groupset brings smooth, reliable shifting to the game, and it's all wrapped up in a package that’s inspired by the iconic blue and orange colours of Capri-Sun[1][3][4].
But it's not all about style. This bike is a limited edition, and all proceeds from the sale go to War Child, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting children affected by conflict through education, protection, and psychological care. Regions like Ukraine, the Middle East, and Western Europe are no stranger to War Child's tireless efforts, and your purchase contributes to making a difference[1][3][4].
Mark your calendars — the Capri-Sun x Eddy Merckx Pévèle C is available for pre-order from mid-May until the end of September 2025, priced at €5,575[1][3]. And if you're feeling nostalgic, why not pick up a retro-inspired Capri-Sun team jersey in blue and orange, mirroring the original '82 team kit[1][3]? Let's ride for a cause!
Canyon Rides the Wave: Updates to Ultimate and Endurance
Canyon's popular Ultimate and Endurance road offerings have received some love, sporting the brand's new PACE Bar. Designed as Canyon's lightweight race bike, the Ultimate will benefit from the PACE Bar's improved aerodynamics and comfortable positioning. The bar is both shallower in the drops and offers a longer reach, making drafting your competition a breeze[2].
On the other hand, the PACE Bar's additional height adjustment and flared drops make for a more comfortable position for long rides on the Endurance[2]. Canyon's PACE Bar has been a hit on the Aeroad since 2024, and it's now available on the Ultimate and Endurance as well[2].

The Rear Top Tube Bag retails at £55/$80 for both the road and mountain bike versions[4].
- Moving beyond the bike itself, it's worth noting that the Capri-Sun x Eddy Merckx Pévèle C Limited Edition collaboration doesn't only elevate your lifestyle with its fashion-and-beauty-inspired design, but also contributes to a worthy cause by supporting War Child through its limited sales.
