To effectively address existing opportunities in Southern Africa, BMC, the Swiss premium performance, cycling brand has taken an important step to appoint an established distributor within the Southern African market. Growth and continued support are key strategic goals for BMC and investing in a strong, service-oriented South African and SADC retailer network through a partner is paramount to grow and strengthen the brand.

We are incredibly excited to re-launch BMC in South Africa, incl. SADC, with Positive Sports Solutions as a distribution partner. Their passion and dedication to the core values of the brand are evident. Given the global cycling boom and related challenges in the supply chain, a step-by-step introduction of new bikes is to be expected.
– Marcel Emmenegger, BMC Director of Sales – Distributor Markets

The appointment follows a period of intense due diligence to ensure that a partner with aligned values and a passion for the brand and cycling industry was found. Positive Sports Solutions has been distributing brands such as Supacaz, Westfalia Bicycle Racks, Token Products, Luck Cycling shoes, Controltech components, Gipiemme wheels, TUFO tyres, Treefrog suction-mount bicycle racks and Herschell lubricants, and has proven itself to be a key player in the market, with a driven team of keen cyclists.

We at Positive Sports Solutions are honored to have this opportunity to import and distribute one of the most premium and exclusive bicycle brands on the planet, and will execute the best level of service through our qualitatively selective BMC retail partners.
– Dylan Girdlestone, Positive Sports Solutions Marketing & Sales Manager

Always had great service from Abloc when I briefly owned a BMC. Hope they land on their feet and best of luck to the new distributor

I owned two road bikes, of which one I still have. Had many other great bikes, but somehow these felt different and made me stronger in the mind than my legs would support. Also great comments at the coffee shops. The aero frames also not bad climbing bikes. Would love to hear other comments on different frames. Loved first one, and second one even better.

Does this mean Head distribution falls away? Probably a fair decision, BMC is an established brand in the SA mindset and has some footprint.

HEAD Bikes distribution, servicing and backup will remain in place as before with an opportunity to complement the BMC brand with an alternate offering to ensure Positive Sports Solutions has a product offering for everyone.

Hello Positive Sports, can you perhaps help me find a seat post clamp for a 2016 team machine slr01. Can't seem to find it in SA.

I sent an email a little while ago about timemachine availability, did you perhaps see it or must I contact a dealer rather ?
