Faster Than Fast: the BMC Alpenchallenge AC01

View all 8 Photos

Just say yes to faster. Mark their words “the fastest bike” a signature by Switzerland’s BMC alpenchallenge AC01. Bragging as the best of any model seen yet on the BMC track, it offers faster looks, feels, turns, climbs, and adaptability. Notice the drool coming out the corner of your mouth, that’s thanks to the real looker here with a pinch of aero advantages from their way past and a dash of angle compliance of granfondo designs. Not to mention the upgrades to the seat tube, re figuring the clearance for fenders and wider tires, making way for 412mm chain stays from the old GF01. They shortened the forks, steepened the frames head angle, perfected the trail. Fenders and other accessories can be swiftly disassembled and tucked away in case of poor weather conditions. Safety first with headlight options and smart anti-theft devices.
