BMC URS 01 Three Rival Disc Gravel Bike 2021

BMC URS 01 Three Rival Disc Gravel Bike 2021

A genuinely versatile performer, the BMC URS 01 Three Rival Disc Gravel Bike is set for the quickest of rides across all manner of terrain, whether gravel, dirt or rough roads.

The finest grade of carbon is used to realise the frameset, and this gives generous amounts of torsional stiffness while keeping the overall weight to a minimum. The efficiency donated by this refined carbon material is joined by the cushioning and composure bestowed by the Micro Travel Technology that resides in the seatstay to seat tube junction. This suspension format affords 10mm of travel to the rear end of the bike for increased control and pedalling fluidity over bumpy surfaces. The Tuned Compliance Concept alters the carbon layup of the frame’s rear triangle, the fork and the seatpost to further heighten vertical compliance.

A slacker head angle and a longer wheelbase give the bike extra stability on irregular tracks and generous frameset clearance allows up to 45mm wide tyres to be used. DT Swiss G1800 wheels are robust, and they partner with the fast and grippy WTB Raddler tubeless-ready tyres. SRAM rival gears and the single chainring setup provides quick and dependable shifting while the matching hydraulic disc brakes give control within any riding conditions.
