George Hincapie's choice: The prize winning design of the racemaster SLX01 unites carbon and aluminum in a racing frame that guarantees uncompromising rigidity and a high degree of ride comfort at the same time. The integrated streampost seatpost can be adjusted for height with a single turn and remains perfectly aligned due to its tear drop shaped profile. The result is a comfortable and incredibly fast racing machine made for curvy mountain passes and for effortless gliding over any tarmac.

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.
