The newly modelled APS suspension system combines efficient propulsion, excellent traction and comfort – exactly what every racer is looking for. The wide seat tube connects the load transmission points more directly, improving rigidity in the front frame triangle.
Features such as the natural born postmount and end-to-end, neatly laid cable housing give the bike a compact appearance and ensure worry-free performance.

The unique juncture of our seat tube cluster which ideally distributes forces remains our most visible innovation. For the racemaster SLX01 we have developed a bonded skeleton concept BSC which embraces the seat tube, aiding in the distribution of forces by providing a larger adhesive surface. This innovation achieves an extremely rigid and absolutely safe carbon-aluminum interface at this very important junction.
The substantial bottom bracket is instrumental for each BMC as forming the frames rigid core and consequently acts as the power center from which the chain stays, seat tube and down tube originate. The tubes are uncompromisingly aligned with the entire width of the bottom bracket so that the intense forces introduced by the act of pedalling can be ideally transmitted. The success of the design results in a powerfully propelled bicycle.
BMC's tuned compliance concept (TCC) optimizes overall ride quality through carefully selected combinations of shapes and materials. Applying stepped profiles, specific carbon fibre alignments and different material compositions in key areas of our frames, forks and seat posts enables us to increase desirable vertical compliance while maintaining high levels of lateral and torsional stiffness. TCC improves the cycling experience by simultaneously providing precise control, reduced rider fatigue, confidence-inspiring handling and efficient power transfer.
The near-legendary Advanced Pivot System by BMC. The APS Technology for neutral drive and braking, based on an inherently rigid rear end controlled by two relatively small levers.
The brake mount is directly bolted to the frame without the loss of power through the need for adaptors.
