BMC Bikes are a Swiss Bicycle manufactures whose high end Road Bikes are highly rated and used extensively by both Professional and Amateur riders. The BMC Cycle Company was originally founded by an American Bob Bigelow in 1986 and was originally created to build and assemble bikes for wholesale in the Swiss market through the British bike maker Raleigh’s distribution network. The licence was lost in 1995 and BMC (Bicycle Manufacturing Company) was created with a factory in Switzerland. BMC was not initially a great success with Swiss sales remain low for a number of BMC mountain bike models. Things changed direction when current owner Andy Rihs then president of directors and the founder of the Phonak Hearing Systems Company, took control in 2001 and set BMC in a new direction focused on engineering and technological innovation coupled with the legendary Swiss precicion technology. BMC Bikes are designed using the very latest computer modelling prior to building prototypes. BMC frames then undergo rigourous testing and strsssing using a machine designed to stretch BMC Bikes frames to their limits and hi lite any potential areas for improvent. and a deliberate move towards the High end Mountain Bike and Road bikes and Hybrid market where they have made an almost immediate and meteoric rise. with their striking Road Bike designs and innovations coupled with high quality build and Swiss mase precicion. BMC are truly top end Road Bikes with a price tag to match and highly sort after by those in the road cycling world. A growing reputation means BMC Bikes are now a global player in the top end Road Bicycle market. BMC Bikes Road Bikes current range includes BMC TT01 Time Trial Road Bike ModelDubbed the Time Machine. The BMC TT01 Frame is entirely Swiss made to high precicion tolerances with an ultra Aerdynamic frame for reduced wind resistance where millisecond count for Time trial rides and is made to be adjusted to the individual riders profile using BMC personal precision program.The top end  BMC SLC01 Road Race Bike from BMC Pro bike range made with unidirectional carbon fiber material together with a patented  Multi-Mould System to give great Frame rigidity and allow for some comfort for long Rides and Road Races. BMC SLT01 Team Race Bike. Built for complete power transmission where every ounce of energy counts in a tight Road Race with a Frameset made from Alu/Carbon the top part of the Frame constructed of  optimized carbon the bottom bracket from high quality aluminium.

BMC Racemaster SLX01 2009

Since this frame is technically thought through to the finest detail it is both fast and really, really beautiful.  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. Only one turn of the system is required to loosen, then adjust and finally refasten the seatpost.

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. Additionally, the frame uses the legendary integrated skeleton concept iSC, which ensures an optimum distribution of forces – a defining trait of the BMC brand.

Design and technology ignite the body and mind. This frame uses only unidirectional carbon fiber material together with the Multi-Mould System. In addition, the employment of the Integrated Skeleton Concept iSC allows for the lowest weight possible while at the same time providing a high degree of stiffness and optimal comfort. It is 100 % seduction where the high pulse is yours for free.

Road Bicycles (racing cycles) are typically designed to be ridden on tarmac roads at high speed for this reason they are made from light weight materials such as carbon, titanium and aluminum to reduce the effort required for a rider to cycle up hills or mountains. Most Road bikes have multiple gears with a cassette of sprockets at the back wheel and often with a two or three ring sprocket at the drive chain. multi gear bikes are far more flexible depending on the incline of the road being ridden. Road cycle are generally fitted with thin wheels and tyres to reduce drag from the road and allow faster riding. Drop down handle bars are preferred for aerodynamic advantages when descending or sprinting. Road differ greatly in price with the top end models such as those used by professional cyclist in pro cycle events such as the Tour de France and Giro d' Italia running into thousands. Reasonable and entry level Road bikes can be found at much more affordable prices in may Bike stores and online.
