  1. In 2014 BMC Switzerland (“BMC”) was, through circumstances beyond its control, forced to establish a direct subsidiary, BMC South Africa (“BMC SA”), in South Africa to service its dealers and their customers. Click here to view the article
  2. Was checking out this AutoDrop Dripper post from BMC. Anyone know if Pidcock is using it? https://www.bmc-switzerland.com/rad
  3. The engineer behind the BMC Teamelite 01 is a bold man. The soft tail era of mountain biking in the early 90s is generally looked back on with ridicule but a lot has changed in the last twenty years. So is the time right for soft tail to ride again? I was eager to find out with the BMC Teamelite 01 XT. Click here to view the article

  6. I am the proud owner of x2 BMC's (FS01 & SLR1) I have just been informed that my LBS is no longer recognised as an authorised BMC Dealer. The closest authorised LBS for repairs/services is in Bloemfontein! I have been a loyal customer to this LBS for well over 5 years. The service, workmanship, support and brand knowledge has always been superb! Cannot believe BMC Switzerland were involved in the decision to revoke their status. This shop has single handily built and ran with the local brand awareness for BMC. They are known as the BMC shop in SA. Always a concern when a non rider is the person driving the brand/strategy/vision. By way of example, it's now cheaper to fly to the UK - buy the bike from Evans Cycles and fly home with it. Fortunately the world is round and will continue to turn...
  7. Lukas Flückiger is a Swiss XCO racer riding for the BMC MTB Racing team. Having been a pro since 2007, he has racked up years of experience, and an array of medals, including a Silver at the XCO World Championships in 2012. We caught up with him during a recent training camp in Stellenbosch to take a look at his BMC Fourstroke training bike, and to chat about training in South Africa and life at the top end of European cross country racing.

  8. BMC Southern Africa have put together this video of a recent Roadmachine ride through the cobbled streets of Bo-Kaap, along the hustle & bustle of CBD and out into the famous winelands surrounding Cape Town. The Roadmachine is the perfect bike for taking on mixed terrain… Watch this video to find out why, and let there be no doubts about where you should take your Roadmachine for its next holiday!

  9. Swiss bicycling manufacturer BMC was born out of a passion for racing, first on the road and later moving into mountain bikes. The BMC Fourstroke is their full suspension cross-country/marathon contender which, in the hands of French super-star Julien Absalon, has claimed numerous XCO World Cup titles and XCO World Champs win.

All opinions welcome and appreciated
  11. The Timemachine, BMC Switzerland’s speed bullet, is a race-proven testament to superior aero engineering. A world record-breaking Ironman distance bike split, Cadel Evan’s victorious penultimate TdF stage win in 2011 and back-to-back World Championship TTT victories convincingly crown the time-trial bike’s palamarés. Now, a new Timemachine with a new rider focus, has been developed by Impec Lab engineers. Revealed at an exclusive press launch at the IM World Championships in Kona today, the completely re-designed Timemachine addresses triathlete’s needs with highly functional design features and technology.

  13. A pedal-assist concept mountain bike at BMC Switzerland’s Eurobike booth reveals yet another project that has been cooking at its Impec Lab. Despite its futuristic appearance, the bike is a realistic interpretation of what will be seen from the brand in 2017 and shows riders what BMC thinks e-mountain biking should be all about - the ride experience.

  15. To effectively address existing opportunities in Southern Africa, BMC, the Swiss, premium performance, cycling brand has taken an important step and launched its own subsidiary in that market. Growth is a key strategic goal for BMC and investing in a strong, service-oriented South African retailer network is paramount to strengthening the brand in the region. The Southern African region is now being serviced by a committed team of sales professionals out of BMC’s own Johannesburg-based office. Click here to view the article

Combined with the ultimate advancements in a Re-Tuned Compliance Concept, this bike re-shapes the endurance bike category - lightweight, sleek and incredibly integrated. Brilliant pedaling efficiency and ideal compliance for the legendary days of riding - the new Roadmachine has it all. Click here to view the article

As the biggest showcase of the South Africa cycling industry, Bike Hub were there to cover the products on display. Last week we took a look at some of the mountain bikes from the fair. This week we take a peek at a selection of the road and cross bikes on show. Click here to view the article
  18. BMC Switzerland has made its direction clear; more technically advanced bikes at attainable prices, while maintaining its core values; Swiss, premium, performance - and continued innovation among its top-tier performance bikes. Its 2016 product range demonstrates acute attention to detail with an intelligent choice of componentry that clearly shows they take rider and market demands seriously – making BMC Switzerland more commercially relevant than ever before.

  20. We were excited to see that the local industry is slowly recognising the demand for longer travel bicycles at the Africa Cycle Fair this year. Along with the increase in trail bikes on display, fair visitors voted for the Pyga Oneforty650 as their Best Bike in Africa, despite an impressive selection of cross-country bikes. We've put together a collection of our favourite trail travel bikes from the fair. Click here to view the article
  21. I hope that i am posting in the correct place but was curious to find out from those of you who frequently transport your bikes by plane, which would be a better option: Thule 699 roundtrip box or BikeSafe box? I have a BMC RM01 and really do not want my bike to be damaged due to negligent airline staff so any advice in this regard would be appreciated.

  23. This has got to be a well kept secret... Velolife (BMC and Catlike agents) have just opened a brand new shop in Rosebank Jhb. 1 Jellicoe Avenue - same building as Bathroom Bizarre... Nice looking shop, nice people, and good looking kit and bikes. (I have no affiliation to them at all)
  24. Provisional start list for 2014 race The organisers of the 2014 Tour of California published the provisional start list for the race, with 2012 Tour de France winner and multi-time Olympic champion Bradley Wiggins in the starring role for Team Sky. The 2014 edition of the race features a 20km time trial, the mountain finishes on Mount Diablo and Mountain High and the final stage in Thousand Oaks as the decisive stages for the general classification. Among the favorites, along with Wiggins, is last year's podium finisher Janier Acevedo (Garmin-Sharp), who, together with Tom Danielson and Rohan Dennis will attempt to give Garmin-Sharp its first overall victory in the race. The 2013 overall winner, Tejay van Garderen will not be in attendance, but BMC is bringing a strong team with American contender Peter Stetina. The team will also include Thor Hushovd, Taylor Phinney and sprinter Greg Van Avermaet, a podium finisher in nearly every spring classic. In between the critical stages, there are opportunities for the sprinters, and 10-time stage winner Peter Sagan (Cannondale) will be the man to beat. Omega Pharma-Quickstep will be keen to take him on, with both Mark Cavendish and Tom Boonen in attendance. Matt Goss (Orica-GreenEdge), John Degenkolb (Giant-Shimano) and Juan Jose Haedo (Jamis-Hagens Berman) should also make Sagan's past domination a bit more difficult this year. The domestic teams will be on the attack as always, but this time with real opportunities to shake up the overall classification. Last year's Mt. Diablo stage winner Leopold König (Netapp-Endura) will be hard to shake, as will Jamis-Hagens Berman's climbers Daniel Jaramillo and Gregory Brenes. Looking for a dark horse? Try Matthew Lloyd, who has made his comeback from injury with Jelly Belly, or Novo Nordisk's Javier Megias, fresh off a strong ride at the Tour of Turkey. Optum's Carter Jones, hot off his victory in the Tour of the Gila, will be a prime contender to repeat as the mountains classification winner, but will be up against Tour of Turkey mountain winner Marc de Maar. Finally, any one of the Bissell Development team riders could take out the best young rider jersey, in particular Redlands Classic runner-up James Oram.

  25. Good day fellow hubbers Iv been browsing the net lately for some upgrades for my BMC TeamElite TE2 29er. One of them being a new set of hubs. The bike currently has bottom of the range Shimano hubs and they seem to be working fine (when I pedal, the bike moves in a forwardly direction). So I was wondering if upgrading them is worth spending the few thousand rand on, i.e do thay make that much of a difference ?. From the beginning of June I will be doing a lot more riding in preperation for a multi day ride in September. I will also be doing as many races as possible in that period. Thanks.
