BMC FOURSTROKE 01 TWO

£8,800 The ultimate cross-country race machine? 

With 100mm of travel front and rear, and progressive geometry, BMC have designed this bike to take on the hardest XC tracks in the world.

The Swiss brand have kept the proven frame design of their previous Fourstroke bikes but updated the geometry, giving the 2023 model a slack (for XC) 66.5-degree head angle, steep 76.7-degree seat tube angle, low bottom bracket and long front end, to improve climbing efficiency and descending control.

They've also added cutting-edge tech, in the form of their Autodrop seatpost. Thanks to an air tank in the down tube, this integrated dropper doesn't require any pressure to compress. so drops as well as extends with the touch of a button.

This third-from-top 01 TWO model comes with race-ready kit including a SRAM GX Eagle AXS wireless drivetrain, lightweight RockShox SID fork and shock, and XC-focused SRAM Level brakes.
