Expirience with the BMC Fourstroke FOUR

Ludwig Döhl The Fourstroke FOUR has already earned its first laurels before its market launch. Pauline Ferrand Prevot has already won the 2022 Marathon World Championship with the bike developed in Switzerland. When it comes down to handling, BMC does not compromise. With its balanced handling style, the Fourstroke FOUR is ready for the majority of singletrails. Due to the interplay of a relatively long top tube and a low stack, the riding position is sporty. If you want to hunt Strava-KOMs uphill, the BMC Fully is probably not the right bike for you. Despite this criticism, the coherent overall concept makes the Fourstroke FOUR to on long tours a buying recommendation in the price range 4299 Euro range. A nice warranty promises sustainability. With 5 years warranty BMC sets the bar high! Caution when selecting the size: the Carbon frame sizing runs big.
