Product Details
The BMC Kaius 01 ONE is designed for riders who want to go the distance and refuse to be confined to just one surface. Built on BMC's expertise and legacy of endurance excellence, this all-road machine combines comfort and efficiency into a highly versatile performance bike that delivers an outstanding riding experience across any terrain. Crafted with BMC carbon frame expertise and featuring full integration, the Kaius represents the perfect balance of endurance and speed, it's your road, your way.
Engineered at the BMC Impec Lab using expert understanding of composite layup, the Kaius 01 achieves a sub-1kg frameset (size 54) with supreme, data-proven compliance and torsional stiffness for a bike that's not only comfortable but also remarkably fast. The third-generation platform focuses on all-road capabilities, calibrated to use road-smoothing 32–35mm tires while maintaining clearance for gravel-ready 40mm tires. The geometry has been evolved to maintain the essence of endurance: a short rear center, precise BB placement, and responsive front end for swift performance, while the dropped BB, revised head tube angle, and increased stack deliver one of the industry's smallest rear centers for an agile, responsive ride.
