Expirience with the BMC Twostroke AL SIX

Ludwig Döhl A minimal elastomeric buffer in the rear is intended to increase the comfort of the Twostroke AL SIX compared to conventional hardtails. On the scale, the Racebike of BMC with 13,5 kg looks good. Most Racebike in the price range until under 1000 Euro are heavier. You have no idea if you prefer high speed stability or playful handling? Then you can´t go wrong with the Racebike of BMC. It´s handling is pleasantly balanced. The combination of a long top tube and low stack value will make you sit sporty on the Twostroke AL SIX. The BMC Twostroke AL SIX has still a ace up its sleeve. When it goes down the hill, the absolutely coherent geometry always makes you want to come back for more. A nice warranty promises sustainability. With 5 years warranty BMC sets the bar high! Caution when selecting the size: the Aluminium frame sizing runs big.
