Expirience with the BMC Twostroke AL FOUR

Ludwig Döhl A minimal elastomeric buffer in the rear is intended to increase the comfort of the Twostroke AL FOUR compared to conventional hardtails. Thanks to a moderate 67 degree head tube angle, the handling is pleasantly balanced. The sporty riding position allows for very effective pedaling. With a total weight of 13,9 kg, the Twostroke AL FOUR is one of the heavier Racebike that you get for under under 1500 Euro. For friends of sending it on rowdy trails: the last argument is still the strongest, because the harmonious geometry and the grippy tires cause you to smile from top to bottom in the descent. We like: 5 years warranty on the frame! Caution when selecting the size: the Aluminium frame sizing runs big.
