BMC Teamelite 02 (SLX-XT)

Rip through singletrack with BMC’s Teamelite 02. This XC podium machine features a carbon frame, and massive chainstays, all resulting in a bike that leaps forward with the lightest pressure on the pedals, while still absorbing trail chatter to save you energy. Up front, a RockShox Reba offers 100mm of trail-devouring travel as well as an efficient climbing platform for those long, fire road grinds. DT Swiss wheels provide speed and stability—helpful on that final, exhilarating descent. Shimano's SLX gearing and Deore brakes provide smooth, precision shifting and effortless speed modulation. BMC rounds out the spec with a comfortable Fizik saddle, and their seatpost, short stem, and a 720mm-wide bar.
