A performance-focussed 100mm full-suspension bike, the Fourstroke 01 is light on weight but heavy on features; all dedicated to keeping it – and you – in front of the competition. Using our premium-level carbon layup, top-tier components and exclusive integrated Autodrop seatpost, pedigree doesn’t come any faster.

Light is good, fast is better

The Fourstroke 01’s Premium Carbon frame is an exercise in balancing weight, power transfer and control for a race bike that isn’t just light, it’s fast.

With great power comes great control

When you’re giving it all your bike should too. An efficient suspension system that transfers pedal power directly to the rear wheel while providing traction in the most challenging conditions means no Watt goes wasted.

Perfection in detail

The Fourstroke 01 leaves nothing to chance. From the precise carbon layup matrix to the race-approved shock tune everything has been given the level of meticulous attention to detail a World Cup mechanic would approve of.

Race proven performance

With a several XCO and XCC victories under its belt, the new Fourstoke 01 has proven credentials as a race winner.

Special Edition Fourstroke 01 TEAM

Built for those who want to race. How do we prove our performance pedigree? Well, if it’s good enough for our 2024 Paris athletes... Built to the same level our Team BMC MTB athletes expect, the Fourstroke 01 TEAM edition is as limited as you can get. A featherlight, race tuned weapon, for those striving to win.

Innovation & Technologies

Autodrop

Most ‘dropper’ posts don’t actually drop when you activate them. Ours does. Created by the genius minds in BMC’s Skunk Works department, aka Impec Lab, and tested at the top level, Autodrop is a fully-integrated seatpost that drops, and rises, with the push of a lever.

Superior kinematics

Tried. Tested. Refined. Raced. Our APS suspension remains the gold standard in stiffness, efficiency and traction. Eschewing the trend for stays that bend it delivers a measurable advantage in traction and feel.

Confidence at speed

XC racing has evolved and so has what’s expected from race bike geometry. The Fourstroke 01 is now longer and slacker to provide maximum confidence on the new-breed of technical race courses without losing any of its razor-sharp edge.

Marathon ready

With space for two water bottles within the frame, a ride feel that works just as well on the trails as between the tapes, this is a race bike that’s up for marathon efforts, training rides and anything else you can throw at it.

Precision engineered

We’ve focussed on the details so you can focus on the ride. Fully guided cable routing and chainstay protection keep noise to a minimum and a rotation-limiting headset prevents damage to the frame when things go sideways.
