The most exciting time for
Australian Mountain Biking - Be a part of it!
Our final 8
Hour for the BMC Working Week Series for 2008 is at Stromlo, and it is
indeed a part of the Nissan UCI World Cup Festival - in fact,
it's the very first event of the Festival!
Ride alongside some World Cup riders!
The whole year
we're giving free entry to female teams and junior teams, but for this
event we're also giving free entry to any rider who will be on the
start-line for the Nissan UCI World Cup races on the following weekend.
This means
that (depending on how many riders take up our offer of course) you'll be even more likely to be riding next to some of the best
mountain-bikers in the world!
We can say
that we can guarantee you'll be riding alongside one World Cup rider,
Dirt Works and BMC's own Brian Price is racing in the world cup, and he
races at all of the BMC Working Week Series events.
Entries
Entries are closed online, but will
remain open at the race site both Saturday Afternoon and on Sunday
morning. A $20 late fee (per team, $15 solo) will apply at the
race site.
BMC - Our
Major Sponsor
The challenge of
bike engineering is to design the lightest possible frame which at
the same time is very stiff, stable and safe, but still provides
optimal power transfer from you to the ground. In a world of
look-alike commodity bikes,
BMC Bicycles create fascination through
their unique Swiss design and technically perfect form. By combining
high tech materials from the industry’s leading suppliers, Swiss
engineering, and innovative frame designs, BMC Bicycles represent
Swiss cycling precision.
BMC have
engineered their Fourstroke (100mm) and Trailfox (120mm) series of
bikes with the XC and marathon rider in mind. By utilising custom
made precision bearings, compact forged pivot arms, and a closed
rear triangle, the BMC patented VPS (Virtual Pivot System)
suspension leads the industry in terms of stiffness and durability.
The tuned wheel displacement curve of the VPS and custom tuned
shocks ensure that VPS equipped bikes pedal as well as any other
design available. Lightweight, efficient, durable, and beautiful,
the Fourstroke and Trailfox embody all that BMC Bicycles represent.
In Australia BMC Bicycles are distributed by leading wholesaler
Dirt Works Australia.
Test ride a BMC
Fourstroke or Trailfox at a BMC WWS event this year. Let yourself be
captured by our passion!
