“BMC introduces the Unrestricted Family of bikes  – one that comes with a built-in worldview  geared toward exploration,  adventure  and time spent in nature. URS rips, URS camps, URS roams, it challenges riders to know  unknowns.”

“All too often in modern life, we meditate on all the places we can’t go. All the things we can’t do. The limits, the boundaries, the controls, the stops, the checkpoints and the challenges of navigating an ever-complicated modern world. Empowered by the bicycle, though, we can turn to the natural world and tap our very human instinct to explore and travel. We long to be unrestricted. With URS we designed bikes to charge across boundaries and escape limitations. From geometry and carbon layup, to its beefed-up tire clearance, the URS family offers next level performance,  control and functionality in a fun and fully integrated bike that still honors the legendary BMC design language.” – Ulrich Bartholmoes, Ultra Distance and Adventure Athlete

URS 01: Suspension and Integration = A New Realm of Gravel

“The bike’s unique MicroTravel Technology (MTT) seatstays featuring XCell damping technology, an innovative and exclusive material that delivers a natural suspension feel with virtually no weight penalty. Our MTT  seatstays can be  configured to individual rider weights and riding styles by using the different damper densities.”

“The 01 also includes the addition of the ICS MTT Stem.  Employing Redshift’s tried and tested ShockStop technology paired with innovative Swiss engineering to create a finely crafted  suspension stem that’s perfect for when the exploration takes you into the great (or not so great) unknown. Enjoy more control, more speed and less muscular fatigue while experiencing more adventure, more freedom and near-limitless range . As with all BMC ICS cockpits,  the ICS MTT Stem provides stealth cable routing, but delivers up to 20mm travel.”

“Completing the rugged off-road capabilities, the included X Bottle cages are the side-loading bottle holders that you want holding your precious  fluids securely when you’re  overlanding through the wilderness. Is it truly an all-terrain  vehicle if it doesn’t have multiple mounting points the ultimate in storage flexibility? ”
