Next up is the Rockhopper comp at $1199 and the expert at $1499. Good price point for a 3x9 drivetrain to get the more serious ride onto a new 29er.

Last alloy of the hardtail's is the Stumpjumper Comp at $2499. 3x10 and Rock Shox reba forks give a great mid level package. Or for a bit more bling the Stumpjumper comp carbon at $3999.

BMC RM01 Race Machine update.

I have been watching the stats on my blog over the last few weeks and the number 1 search term if for the new BMC Race Machine RM01. So here is a more in depth spec list of what you can expect in the Australian model.

The frame will be very similar in design to the very popular SLR01 with more stiffness built into the seat stays, BB shell and the front fork. We will receive the colour scheme above and not the 'Gulf Porsche" colour going to europe.

Sizing as follows. 47, 50, 53, 55, 57 and 60 cm frames.

Front crankset is a Sram Red BB30 item with matching Sram Red front and rear derailleur and shifters. Brakes are Sram Force, cassette is Sram PG 1070 with the ratio 11-26.Wheels will be the ever reliable Easton EA70 and be shod with Conti Ultra Race tyres. Handlebar is a carbon EC70 and stem an alloy EA70 item. Saddle is Selle Italia SL XC.

Geometry is below.

We have been given an estimated RRP of $6559.00 for a complete bike and $3899.00 for a frameset. This may change with the fluctuating dollar but my best guess is these will be the prices to expect.

As with all BMC bikes numbers will be limited and first orders are due in November. Pre orders are welcome.

All of the specs and pics can now be seen on the new BMC website.

Specialized Camber FSR pro

New for 2011 is the Camber platform. At 120mm of travel it slots in between the Epic (100mm)and the Stumpjumper (140mm) and is aimed squarely at the trail rider.

This range offers by far the best bang for your buck in the Specialized dual suspension range and the Camber FSR pro is likely to be one of the best value bikes available in Australia period.

Specialized Rockhopper Comp 29er

So after my 2 days of intense initiation into the Specialized family and a long look at the huge dealer book I thought it was time to share some of my fav's for the coming season.

The Rockhopper Comp 29er is probably not too high on most people's list but I think it will be quite popular with some.

Firstly at $1199.00 it is right on the money for any entry level rider or someone looking at a second (or 3rd or 4th etc) bike to do their own comparison to a 26 inch.

Secondly it can be easily converted to a single speed as it has a neat set of sliding dropouts.

5 sizes from 15.5 inch through to 23 inch means everyone can have one. Sure it's only got an entry level spec with Alivio shift gear, but the custom tuned Suntour fork up front and hydro discs at this price point are a winner.

Due in store the 2nd week of September.

NOW IN STORE....

New BMC SLR01 on the floor...

Well it has finally land at Cyclic Bikes.

The new SLR01 Team Machine from BMC. And what glorious machine it is.

Xavier is the proud owner of our fist complete built 57 cm that came in at 6.6kg out of the box.

We have a 55 cm in carbon and white on the floor now and more sizes to follow.

Some of the things that make this new bike something special are, besides the ridiculous low weight, the sensational finish, Sram Red group with BB30, the ultra stiff front fork and without doubt the most elegant seat post design ever.

I can see plenty of sub 6 kg bikes being built around this frameset for sure.

The price of $8950 is a steel for what you will receive from this bike. It is most definitely not just another carbon frame with a bunch of top line components added to achieve the title of flagship. As with any pedigree the heart of this bike is the frame and the technology applied at all points.

We also have alternative packages available for those with a taste for Campagnolo or Shimano.
