BMC Teamelite 03 2018

A racing evolution

The high-performance discipline of cross-country racing has become, quite literally, a race to the top. Grueling, all-out sprints to the finish are supported with bikes whose maximum efficiency and minimum weight ethos pay no heed to compliance – until now. The BMC Teamelite 01 is the culmination of an evolution of race bike performance. Its unique combination of efficiency, traction, and fatigue-fighting compliance technology places it in a category of its very own, and raises the bar by setting new industry standards.

Efficient

Hydroformed, triple-butted, Al-13 premium aluminum makes the frame light and stiff, with additional compliance and comfort provided by the lowered seat stay and Angle Compliance Technology. To excel on XC courses, the Teamelite 03 shares the same race-oriented Big Wheel Concept (BWC) geometry as the other Teamelite family members.

Fast

The frame geometry is built according to our BWC geometry, which features a long a roomy top tube, a low bottom bracket and short chainstays. Combined with a slack head tube angle and short stem, riders get the speed, agility and snappy acceleration required in a 29er race bike.
