By using exclusively unidirectional carbon fiber while incorporating the Nano Tube technology developed by Easton, the frame is manufactured employing the Multi Mould System and boldly implementing the iSC which make possible the exceptional the low weight-high rigidity ratio while still providing ultimate comfort. Unique and proprietary developments such as the over-sized bottom bracket, the familiar BMC frame design, as well as the carbon drop outs provide for a high-pulsed seduction.

Every BMC bike has a common denominator: the technologies that lie behind our striking but technically logical frames.
Here are quick summaries of the key technologies for the SLC01:
- Throughout, we avoid using the traditional carbon optic. Using only carefully aligned unidirectional fibres makes for even more accurately defined rigidity distribution.
- The Carbon Nano Tube Composite developed by Easton achieves unprecedented material values by the admixture of microscopically small carbon tubes.
- Integrated Skeleton Concept permits good force distribution near the nodal points by using carefully selected reinforcing elements. Each tube transition can be perfectly adapted to the flow of forces.
- You can recognize them from the dropouts. Pro Machine frame with seamlessly integrated carbon dropouts. The only metal component on the whole frame is the thread on the bottom bracket.
frame — first frame ever manufactured entirely using Easton CNT nano technology
- iSC carbon frame made exclusively of unidirectional carbon
- iSC seat post locking system
- BMC “Multi-Moulding” manufacturing process
- the aluminum bottom bracket cup has been integrated into the frame during the manufacturing process; not bonded into the frame (aluminum parts positioned and secured with carbon fiber wrapping)
- internal shift and brake cable guides
- front /derailleur assembly = clamp type (Torque = 5Nm)
- frame weight = 1100 gr (size 55 cm / without fork)
- aluminum drop outs, fastened with 1x M6 bolts
- 8x frame sizes (47 / 49 / 51 / 53 / 55 / 57 / 59 / 61cm)
bottom bracket — size / width - BSA 1.37x24 / BSA / 68 mm cup width (BB “Face cut” = the bottom bracket comes with evenly milled openings for the cups. Additional milling of the surfaces is not permitted.)
fork — Easton EC-90 SLX Carbon CNT fork
- carbon drop-outs and carbon fork crown (45 mm)
- 1-1/8“ carbon steering tube (300 mm)
- fork rake = 43 mm
- fork weight = 300 gr
Attention - the Pro Machine frame will be delivered with the EC-90 SLX fork and
FSA head set. Contained in the shipment is a special “Excenter-mechanism” that must be pressed into the carbon head tube. The final adjustment of the headset is completed via the Excenter-mechanism and the connecting bolt. Never use a traditional star nut that is intended for aluminum steering tube combination only.
seat post - Easton EC70 carbon CNT seat post
- seat post length = 350 mm
- diameter = 31.60 mm
- seat post set back= 10mm (Offset)
- weight = 215 gr
- upper/Lower seat clamps made from aluminum. The use of carbon component saddles (9 mm carbon rails) is possible.
NOTE Assembly/Maintenance — BMC recommends special carbon assembly paste when inserting full carbon seat posts into full carbon frame sets. These pastes increase friction and reduce corrosion (Tacx Dynamic Carbon Assembly Paste or similar products). Be sure to use a torque key and stay within torque tolerances as provided by the manufacturer. Alternately tighten both screws carefully using torque key. Be sure never to exceed 4-5 NM of torque for each of the screws.
