Visible speed! The first glance at the racemaster SLX01 speaks volumes; it is fast, technically clever, thought out to the smallest detail. The lines flow harmoniously, supple and to the point, cast out of one perfectly continuous form; an example of tangible beauty that you want to touch and own.
The different materials carbon and aluminium follow a very deliberate and logical union. The full carbon straightedge 048 SL fork and the exceptionally unique streampost 73.5 seatpost have been designed, fine-tuned and integrated with the SLX frame system to assure optimum 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.
Like the racemaster SLX01 and roadracer SL01, we have followed a similar system integration path with the brand new teammachine SLR01 and fourstroke FS01 (fork and seatpost). These innovative designs have been custom made and were developed in-house.
