swiss cycling technology
Every BMC bike has a common denominator: the technologies that lie behind our striking but technically logical frames. We invite you to dive in to the fascinating world of Swiss Cycling Technology.
Here are quick summaries of the key technologies for selected models:
|
| Carbon fibers make extremely light and rigid components. There is good reason why in Formula 1 racing, entire car bodies are made of this wonder material. |
| The entire seat tube of the Blade Speed Frame the has been designed as a wing profile. Together with the specially developed seat post they form a continuous wing for minimum air resistance. | |
| A hinge instead of a head tube: the handlebar stem creates an aerodynamic front end and is no longer taken through the ball bearing, so the ball bearing is much smaller and the whole head becomes an integrated unit. The patented Aero Hinge offers virtually no air resistance. | |
| The UCI requires a thickness of 25 mm and does not allow any profiles slimmer than 1 : 3. By using a 75 mm wing profile, on the limits of what is permitted, the various elements blend together into a perfectly aerodynamic whole. | |
| You can recognize them from the dropouts. Pro Machine frame with seamlessly integrated carbon dropouts. The only metal component on the whole frame is the thread on the bottom bracket. | |
