A simple flick of a remote lever on the handlebar synchronizes the adjustment of the dropper seat post height with that of the suspension platform. So riders can focus their attention on the trail without a break in flow or speed.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"w-full aspect-video\">\n<div><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"200\" height=\"113\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sMJIn2bJWEI?feature=oembed\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>According to Antoine Lyard, MTB Product Manager BMC Switzerland \u201cOver the past 5 years, mountain bikers have become even more categorized based on the type of riding they lean towards. As riders, and their mountain biking styles become better defined, so do their needs &#8211; making it much easier for us to meet them. The Speedfox is aimed at all-round trail riders, the adventurers, and explorers of the mountain biking world. They love the thrill of going downhill yet still need a bike that will take them efficiently to the trail head, and the Speedfox balances these two opposing needs excellently. With its Trailsync Technology, optimized APS suspension and high-level integration \u2013 we really hit the mark.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The new Speedfox from BMC has been re-engineered to be light, sturdy, and capable of adventure, yet still eager for all-out speed. A premium frame, with state-of-the-art geometry and low standover height, it delivers excellent maneuverability around challenging features, yet at the same time possesses confident, straight-line stability for both the uphill and the downhill.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Synced: <\/strong>Trailsync Technology ensures you\u2019re always in the right suspension tune so you can keep your hands on the bars while staying connected to the trail.<br \/><strong>Balanced: <\/strong>120\/130mm of perfectly balanced, trail-optimized travel &#8211; efficient uphill, confident downhill.<br \/><strong>Integrated: <\/strong>Cutting-edge integration delivers durability and performance, packaged in a uniquely Swiss, aesthetic form.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-2xl font-bold\">Trailsync Technology for Intuitive Riding<\/h2>\n<p><a class=\"ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-71830500-1498028338.jpg\" data-fileid=\"985379\" data-fileext=\"jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-fileid=\"985379\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" alt=\"ccs-62657-0-71830500-1498028338.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-71830500-1498028338.jpg\"><\/a><br \/>The Speedfox features BMC\u2019s groundbreaking new \u2018Trailsync\u2019 technology, which combines dropper post operation and compression damping, simplifies your cockpit, and eliminates one-handed, on-the-fly adjustments. Trailsync ensures riders are always in the optimum suspension tune in the correct saddle position \u2013 going beyond the benefits of a standard dropper by integrating automatic suspension adjustment.<\/p>\n<div class=\"w-full aspect-video\">\n<div><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"200\" height=\"113\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IebX8RIFac8?feature=oembed\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"text-2xl font-bold\">Expertly Balanced to make Everything Count<\/h2>\n<p>The Speedfox\u2019s expertly balanced, trail-optimized travel with a purposeful, optimized geometry gives riders the confidence to go into the unknown secure in the knowledge that their bike will take them there and back efficiently \u2013 yet put a smile on their face when it counts. The Speedfox\u2019 APS suspension has been optimized for pedaling efficiency and smooth operation &#8211; providing support on the uphill while being fully active on the downhill, A closed rear triangle adds reliability and stiffness to the equation.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-65061800-1498028370.jpg\" data-fileid=\"985388\" data-fileext=\"jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-fileid=\"985388\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" alt=\"ccs-62657-0-65061800-1498028370.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-65061800-1498028370.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-2xl font-bold\">Integration with Purpose; Function and Aesthetics<\/h2>\n<p>For more than a decade, BMC has led industry integration and design &#8211; developing innovative engineering solutions at its unique Impec Lab. The latest generation Speedfox visibly bears the fruit of this investment in industrial design. The intelligent elimination of cable housing from handlebar to chainstay combined with in-built suspension and frame guards give it a super sleek look \u2013 that also performs. A \u2018Hidden Link\u2019 hides all cables between the rear triangle and the main frame while a cleverly designed mud-flap keeps bearings clean. BMC\u2019s IP cable routing solution makes set-up and servicing easy with internal carbon guide tubes &#8211; which also prevent rattling while riding.<\/p>\n<p>The Speedfox\u2019s cutting-edge integration delivers durability and performance presented in a uniquely Swiss, aesthetic form.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on the model size, the Speedfox is available with 650b or 29inch wheels.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-67804300-1498028339.jpg\" data-fileid=\"985380\" data-fileext=\"jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-fileid=\"985380\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" alt=\"ccs-62657-0-67804300-1498028339.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-67804300-1498028339.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"grid grid-cols-12 gap-4\">\n<div class=\"col-span-6\">\n<a class=\"ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-64690700-1498028341.jpg\" data-fileid=\"985382\" data-fileext=\"jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-fileid=\"985382\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" alt=\"ccs-62657-0-64690700-1498028341.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-64690700-1498028341.jpg\"><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-span-6\">\n<a class=\"ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-67410200-1498028344.jpg\" data-fileid=\"985385\" data-fileext=\"jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-fileid=\"985385\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" alt=\"ccs-62657-0-67410200-1498028344.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-67410200-1498028344.jpg\"><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"grid grid-cols-12 gap-4\">\n<div class=\"col-span-4\">\n<a class=\"ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-66688800-1498028340.jpg\" data-fileid=\"985381\" data-fileext=\"jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-fileid=\"985381\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" alt=\"ccs-62657-0-66688800-1498028340.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-66688800-1498028340.jpg\"><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-span-4\">\n<a class=\"ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-71396600-1498028342.jpg\" data-fileid=\"985383\" data-fileext=\"jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-fileid=\"985383\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" alt=\"ccs-62657-0-71396600-1498028342.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-71396600-1498028342.jpg\"><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-span-4\">\n<a class=\"ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-71242700-1498028343.jpg\" data-fileid=\"985384\" data-fileext=\"jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-fileid=\"985384\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" alt=\"ccs-62657-0-71242700-1498028343.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-71242700-1498028343.jpg\"><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trail riding is ultimately about having fun in the great outdoors &#8211; riding trails that put a grin on your face, with friends, in beautiful settings.
