The best aluminium road bike
The combination of stiffness, light weight and vertical compliance was reserved to carbon frames until now. With the GF02 we change that. You will have a hard time to find an aluminium frame that rivals the GF02 in terms of stiffness and weight, but the ability to absorb impacts is what sets it apart from all other aluminium frames. It is that good, it gives many carbon frames out there a hard time. The best performance for your money is standing right here.

Optimized ride qualities in carbon products thanks to BMC's Tuned Compliance Concept (TCC).
With a neat combination of different carbon fibers and their alignment, and by applying stepped tube profiles, we 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.
Our frames are future proof. With a growing selection of electronic groupsets, electronic shifting is becoming more popular and affordable. For this reason, all our new road frames are compatible with electronic shifting. You want to update to the latest high end technology? No problem with a BMC frame. Even our entry level Granfondo GF02 bike is compatible with Di2.
DTi leaves you total freedom in your choice of groupsets. The one frame is cleverly designed to accept every transmission possibility; electronic or mechanical transmission. That is Dual Transmission integration. You have clean cable routing with mechanical shifting, but if you switch to Di2 no unnecessary cable stops are left, all the holes are in the right place for minimal exposed electronic cables and a clean look.
Tapered head tube - with a minimum increase in weight, a disproportionately higher fork thickness results.
Triple-butted tube set made of a 6000 alloy. Triple-butted means that the tube has three different wall thicknesses.
