Builder: BMC
Material: Carbon
Riders Goal: This project began with the question: Can a disc cross bike be built up with clinchers and weigh under 17 lbs with pedals?
Key Components
- Brand new, completely re-designed BMC CX01 cyclocross frameset, est weight around 1100 grams
- DT Swiss Carbon Clincher RC 38 Spline C DB wheels for disc brake, est weight around 1390 grams
- SRAM CX1/RED22 kit
- Dugast Rhino tubular cyclocross tires, all black sidewall
Five Reasons Why We Love This Bike
- The acceleration and ride feel is patterned after one of our favorite bikes, the BMC SLR01 road bike
- BMC designed the bike with relevant, modern cyclocross geometry
- Make no mistake, this machine is light and fast
- BMC integrated the front disc housing INSIDE the fork leg for cleaner routing
- Finished weight: 15.5 lbs with tubulars, no pedals. 16 lbs, 10 oz with clinchers and pedals
