About This Item:

It's almost impossible to stroll by a BMC SLC01 Pro Machine without stopping for a further look. At first glance, the BMC SLC01 pro machine's beautiful, sculpted finish draws you in. Put your hand on any of the tubing and notice the finish is silky smooth and the texture of the carbon fiber gives the bike depth and character. However, aesthetics only begin the story for the BMC Pro Machine!

BMC has continued to make some of the lightest road bicycle frames on the market, but that's not BMC's sole goal. BMC is driven to make the most efficient bicycle while providing the best overall comfort. To accomplish this goal BMC takes the floor as a bicycle driven by technology. The BMC Pro Machine is the first and only bicycle to be developed using carbon-nanotube-technology CNT, which is found only in Easton products. CNT technology adds small carbon tubes which provide a superior bond between layers of the carbon. This greatly improves the stiffness and increases the lifespan of the entire frame, especially the carbon fiber dropout.

BMC does not stop there, however! BMC designed the frame's tube/lug interfaces much farther away from high stress junctions such as the head tube and the bottom bracket. This greatly enhances the strength of the frame and also improves the rigidity.

BMC understands that developing a stiff and responsive bike doesn't correlate to the best riding bike. Comfort and efficiency is the key. BMC's Integrated Skeleton Concept (ISC), which is used at the junction of the top tube, seat tube, and seat stays, provides incredible dampening of road vibrations. This feature effectively gives the bike longer seat stays providing stiffness and excellent responsiveness.
