BMC

With Cadel Evan’s history making win for an Australia in the 2011 Tour de France many more Aussies have taken notice of what BMC does.

You always recognize a BMC. The distinct frame platform stems from the distinct technologies that have proven themselves again & again in professional competition. These properties make a BMC 100 % original. Driven by improved handling and more cycling fun the close knit team constantly seek to optimize performance.

The skeleton concept iSC (integrated Skeleton Concept) has been around since the first legendary promachine and has spent over a decade being refined and redefined. The idea is saving weight by supporting the top tube at the seat tube and increasing the stiffness where it is needed in the front triangle.

At BMC they develop integrated solutions. They consider the fork and seatpost as well as the disk brake fitting to be parts of the frame. With the cable routing, the frame manages to appear even more tidy. With the fine-tuning and integration of the entire frame system, these solutions provide the added value of BMC not just in terms of the technology, but they also refine the visual originality, everyone else will know that you are riding a BMC too.

BMC’s Tuned Compliance Concept (TCC) uses a combination of different carbon fibers, in different alignments and by applying stepped tube profiles they achieve increased vertical compliance while maintaining high levels of lateral and torsional stiffness. The TCC zones on the frame, fork and seatpost boost the comfort rating noticeably. TCC significantly improves the ride experience by slowing the onset of rider fatigue and through precision handling and efficient power transmission.

The same conceptual approach is taken with the all-terrain bikes. The ideal suspension system converts the entire rider’s energy into propulsion while the shock system absorbs the impacts regardless of the effects of acceleration. By carefully calculating the position of the pivotal points on the APS rear suspension, they achieve this aim with great precision. All the pedal power is used for propulsion without any loss of energy in the suspension laving you with the benefit of optimum traction and therefore maximum power transferred to the ground
