BMW M Bike Carbon Racer Edition Presented

The motorsport division of BMW has already proved itself as an important player in the two-wheeled market, and we are talking here about the bicycle segment. The Munich-based company, which has over 60 years of experience in bicycle manufacturing, will present the first racing bike from the exclusive BMW M Series in June 2011. “For those watching the BMW M Bike Carbon Racer ride by from the sidewalk, it’s love at first sight – and there usually isn’t time for a second look with this racing machine,” the company says in a statement. “Whether for athletic endeavors or recreational riding, every detail is perfect when you hit the pedals of the BMW M Bike Carbon Racer.” The BMW M Bike Carbon Racer’s frame has been designed in an anthracite carbon look, while colored accents on the rims, handlebar grips, and saddle inlay in the typical BMW M red color. Another visual highlight of the bike is the fi’zi:k Tundra 2 saddle and the Shimano Ultegra brakes and gear levers that allow the rider to change gears quickly and slow or stop smoothly. The chain and cassette provide a perfectly smooth transmission of energy both on flat areas of road and on difficult slopes. The carbon frame is both light and stiff, absorbs shocks, and is absolutely corrosion-free. BMW says it doesn’t use any mass-produced elements in its fleet of bicycles, instead working only with frames it develops itself. “The summer of 2011 will be all about “sheer driving pleasure” for every BMW owner, even those with two-wheeled vehicles,” BMW brags.
