BMC Bicycles started in 1995 focused on, of all things, mountain bikes. Ok, so we ride them in the off-season and can get some of them from BMC. But we like BMC because they are a huge sponsor of the sport, are highly innovative, beautiful bikes to look at and to ride, and are engineering-driven machines. 

Pro Machine SLC 01

 

 

MSRP frameset only: $3895

BMC says "Incredibly beautiful, incredibly successful." 

This may be a bike that once you see it, you will have to ride it and once you ride it, you're going to want to take it home.

It uses Easton's "Carbon Nanotube Technology". The implication is that this is stiff yet light.  Of course, this is a pro tour worthy bike -- what else would you expect?  The frame is less than 1000 grams, which is fighting weight nowadays for professional machinery. 

Racemaster SLX 01

 

 

 

 

MSRP frameset only: $2595

BMC says "It is the epitome of engineering and design craftsmanship. The conscious combination of carbon and aluminium leads to incomparable rigidity with unbelievable comfort. The integrated Streampost 73.5 seatpost, through its aerodynamic teardrop cross section and its intelligent angle lock clamping system is always perfectly aerodynamically aligned and provides the maximum degree of height adjustability. "

Road Racer SL 01

MSRP frameset only:  $1650

BMC says "Through the use of the carbon-CNT-Wishbone and the high-quality aluminium main triangle, the completely redeveloped SL01 boasts a material combination which provides for optimal comfort and extreme rigidity. This new eye-catching creation shines as brightly as the new racemaster featuring the teardrop aerodynamic and easily adjustable carbon Streampost 73,5 seat post system."
