Product Details

The BMC Kaius 01 THREE redefines high-performance gravel racing by fusing advanced carbon engineering, precision handling, and aerodynamic integration into one elite-level machine. Developed for riders who push limits across mixed terrain, the Kaius delivers the perfect balance of lightweight stiffness, vertical compliance, and race-ready geometry to dominate the gravel scene.

At the heart of the Kaius lies BMC's innovative carbon layup utilizing ultra-high-modulus fibers for maximum stiffness and minimal weight. This construction ensures explosive power transfer during climbs and sprints, while the Tuned Compliance Concept (TCC) Race technology filters harsh vibrations for sustained comfort on rough, loose surfaces. The gravel-specific geometry features longer reach and forward-shifted front wheel position for enhanced stability and traction—critical advantages during aggressive descents and fast-paced cornering on unpredictable terrain.

The engineered Kaius fork delivers precise handling without compromise, paired with BMC's refined ICS2 stem and traditional handlebar for optimal stiffness and clean aesthetics. The innovative internal Aerocore system cleverly integrates aerodynamic water bottle cages into the frame design, reducing drag and maximizing speed during long events. With up to 44mm tire clearance and full compatibility with both 1x and 2x drivetrains, the Kaius offers the versatility elite racers demand.

The SRAM Rival eTap AXS Wide 2x12 wireless drivetrain provides smooth, precise control across varied terrain with a broad gear range, while SRAM Rival eTap AXS HRD hydraulic disc brakes ensure confident, consistent stopping power in all conditions. The lightweight CRD-400 carbon wheelset completes this performance package with speed, stability, and tubeless capability designed specifically for gravel racing demands.

Perfect for elite racers and serious gravel enthusiasts seeking uncompromising performance across diverse terrain, the Kaius 01 THREE represents BMC's commitment to gravel racing excellence through purposeful engineering and integrated design.
