Details
Kaius is a premium carbon gravel bike built to be your elite race companion for all terrains. The unprecedented carbon layup and gravel-specific geometry ensure the perfect balance of stiffness, lightweight, and compliance for optimal traction on loose surfaces, front-end stability, and unmatched climbing prowess. Harnessing the precision and performance of BMC's renowned leading road technologies, Kaius is a race machine tuned to the gravel wavelength with the engineered Kaius fork, BMC's signature ICS Carbon Aero Cockpit, TCC Race compliance, compatibility with 1x and 2x drivetrains and up to 44 mm of tire clearance.
Features:
- Speed Unbound: The innovative premium carbon layup uses ultra high-module fibres for unmatched stiffness resulting in maximum power transfer and minimal weight. Kaius boasts BMC's Tuned compliance Concept Race Technology for a comfortable ride on rough surfaces and target reinforcements protect your frame against the demands of gravel racing.
- Race Ready Gravel Geometry: Kaius was built with one purpose: to be fast on gravel roads. That is why BMC produced a gravel-specific frame with a longer reach shifting the front wheel forward to improve stability and increase traction on loose surfaces. With the shorter stem providing responsive handling, Kaius sports a progressive and race-tuned geometry for evolving riding styles.
- Integrated Cockpit System (ICS): ICS2, with significant weight savings, high stiffness, clean aesthetics and integrated device mounts for the most popular devices.
- Aerocore Design: Kaius comes in at the highest level of functional integration with BMC's Aerocore design. This evolved solution integrates the bottle cages in to the frame to optimized aerodynamic performance.
- Lightweight: Being a race bike, Kaius is not only stiff and comfortable, but also lightweight. With a frame weighing only 910g, the fork 400g, a seat post at 160g, and the cockpit clocking in at 315g, we produced a module that is going to make you fly up the hills at a lightweight 1,785g
- Versatility: Versatile by design, Kaius comes with all you would expect from a high-end gravel race bike. It can fit x and 2x drivetrains, tires up to 44mm, a dropper post, the new MTT Suspension stem, and a top tube bolt-on bag.
