BMC FOURSTROKE LT ONE 2023

BMC FOURSTROKE LT ONE 2023

BMC FOURSTROKE LT ONE – Fourstroke LT is an XC bike designed for riders who want even more performance. Offering trail-riding at speed with progressive 120mm of our updated APS dual-link suspension travel. There is no limit to what you and the Fourstroke LT can achieve.

The full-carbon frame includes our most progressive BWC geometry now fitting two water bottles. Integrated fork stopper and frame protection.

Work the trails at ease with the Fourstroke LT ONE boasting a Shimano SLX drivetrain. RockShox SID Select+ fork and RockShox SID Luxe Select+ shock. DT Swiss M 1900 wheelset with 30mm inner width and the Bikeyoke Divine seatpost.

Traction is Speed

More traction equals more speed, and that is what BMC is after.

The updated APS Suspension System features next-level kinematics and best-in-class suspension performance designed to deliver full traction and great efficiency on every terrain. Resulting in faster times, this new and improved full-feature suspension system finds no match on the race-course.

Advanced Pivot System – the best tool for the job

• • Using APS, BMC engineers have access to a versatile suspension system with the ability to design complex kinematics that could not be achieved using weight-driven solutions like flex stays and single-pivot suspension systems.
• • APS features a virtual rear suspension pivot trough the rear wheel travel, which is defined by upper and lower link and the resulting 4 pivots.
• • APS allows BMC to fine-tune the suspension kinematics to provide an incredibly dynamic suspension behavior across the travel.

Uphill Traction:

The anti-squat tuning featured on Fourstroke decreases along the travel, preventing  chain growth when hitting obstacles; this allows the suspension to compress smoothly and track the terrain for perfect traction.

Once the suspension starts extending again, the anti-squat value rises to keep the wheel tracking the terrain, significantly increasing the grip.

Downhill Flow:

APS keeps the suspension active when the going gets tough by reducing pedal-kickback deep in the travel and preventing negative influences during braking.

Improved Suspension Progressivity:

The updated Fourstroke kinematics and all-new shock tune provide a progressive spring curve, delivering a superior ride experience in any riding situation.

• • Small bump sensitivity
• • Support in rough conditions
• • Bottomless feeling
• • More predictable airtime behavior
• The Winning Edge

Extensive testing shows that the Fourstroke and APS suspension are faster than lighter bikes that feature weight-saving suspension systems, proving that superior traction and pedaling efficiency are more important than weight.
